Apple's price wide swings taught a lesson to people who hold call
options. Actually, Jobs has given option holders a chance to make
money for entire week. During past week, the stock was steadily
rising, even in today's trading, up to 21.5, then went down at deep
slope. For long shareholders, it is good to see the average price
held has been increased, and great to see Apple fight back on Dell's
prior insults, and push newest products on line in this significant
consumer quarter. With revenue of 7.0 billions, it will not be
difficult to turn to profit only if they can run more efficiently
and effectively. It seems Jobs has passion of doing such job for
turning to profit in this quarter, at least he has tried to turn
around the company.
Merging with or acquiring by other companies is a passive way of
surviving although it will boost price up in a very short term.
Rather, improving company's business is more aggressive way to survive
and thrive in the long run. For me, I would rather choose the latter
one because the return will be a lot more than the other way around.
