We are still waiting for your LAST prediction where Apple was supposed to crash to an unspilt $100 a share. . . It is now at an an unspilt $781.64. When is it going to crash, DennisW? You claimed you shorted AAPL. . . how much did you lose on those shorts?
Also those non-existent Apple bonds? What about them? Apple now does have some. . . did you buy any?
In fact, CityBank just raised its target value for AAPL by 20% and TheStreet analysts claim that at its current valuation, AAPL is, wait for it, UNDERVALUED. They expect Apple to hit a 30% increase in profits in the next year factoring the opening iPad and iPhone 6 and 6plus sales in China and India, the addition of Apple Pay which is growing by leaps and bounds in the retail markets, and the coming introduction of the Apple Watch.
Apple just got lucky that its two major products came out post 2008 as the Federal Reserve started showering our economy with helicopter money.
What better bubble stock (APPL) to be emblematic of our bubble economy with its false prosperity via Federal Reserve flooding the US and the world with fake fiat dollars. This is the only way people can afford Apples overpriced inferior products. Only with this bubble can the snobs, gays, Educrats, pathetic fanbois, government employed drones, useless eaters and urbanites indulge their iPad, iFone fantasies.
Tim Cook should be making a yearly pilgrimage to DC to kiss the ring of the Federal Reserves chairman. The only innovation and real world benefits-improvements since the 2008 deflationary collapse come from our fracking revolution. From our domestic energy sector. Not from stupid Apple commodity products as in..... Numerous manufacturers make similar products that are just as good and better than Apples.
Better enjoy your warm and fuzzies while you can because the next severe downturn will see the Chinese Lenovo buying (hostile take over) Apple to fight the final battle with Samsung.
