Now would be the time to sell Apple.

Others have reached comparative standings as Apple has today, but its annual stock value appreciation has likely reached or is reaching a plateau. Yes, it is still a “hold” but should less often be a “buy” if total portfolio appreciation for the next decade or longer is sought.

Dang I wonder what the stock would be worth if you bought it in 2008?

And yet somehow no lefties seem to feel Apple’s “windfall profits” are a bad thing.

25 dollars for parts and slave labor. Another 5 dollars for packaging and shipping. 7 more dollars for R&D. Two dollars for advertising. Plus taxes. 23 cents for software.

And they sell for how much?

How, oh how have I avoided ever buying anything Apple makes?

From my limited exposure to their stuff, I never will.
