That was precisely my thinking when I bought in at 24.... The whole thing has the same feel.... AAPL, right after I bought, had the whole "Prince is buying" thing going....and it drifted from 21 to 12. I wish I'd bought on the way down. Same complaints, too..."bad management, no vision, no feedback". I'd bought right into a MacWorld frenzy....which was followed up by complaints of "Jobs has lost his touch", and the stock dove. I really like the look and feel here. To me, 30 seems logical by year end barring any disasters. After that, it's anyone's guess.
