Now, not even major news like the stock option scandal can have much of an effect on the new Wall Street darling.

Probably time to sell now then /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Well, I just did my bit to keep the earnings and stock price up. Finally bought the Mac Pro I've been druling over - though I saved $549 by getting an Apple refurbished model, a 3GHz quad with 2 GB of RAM. Of course I'll be in hock for the next year or two while I pay down my credit card. The advantage of waiting is that most of the applications and utilities I use have been upgraded to Universal Binaries - even Photoshop. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks like Vista had no affect on Apple.

---

What do you mean? It had a big affect! Apple increased it's market share by quite a bit!

---

It's the halo effect.

---

The interesting think is that the Mac grown was bigger than the iPod one.

---

The Halo effect no longer refers to the iPod. Todays Halo effect is Vista.

I didn't buy mine until it was around $67 per share. I went into it as a disposable investment, so I'm just enjoying the ride. I just wish I had followed my instincts and bought it when it was in the teens.

Let's not forget that the last time Apple was as low as $13-$14 per share (early 2003?) they REALLY were going to die the next day. For real! Oh, and the time before that too in 1998-1999. Especially then.

Not to troll or anything but I just looked up MS latest profit report
For the three months ended June 30, Microsoft's profit was $4.3 billion.

Also, apple insider reported "Apple('s)... third-quarter profits rose more than 30 percent to $1.07 billion, or $1.19 per diluted share, June 28, 2008."
