>> Plenty of profit left in holding Apple stock.<< Doren - I agree. Interestingly, Jim Cramer is now saying that people should take all their invested capital out of AAPL and RIMM, but he's still saying they should commit new money to GOOG. Note that he is NOT saying sell all your Apple. Just take out what you invested originally and let the rest ride. What I'm going to do is let it all ride. Call me greedy, but I think the stock still has room to run over the long term, and I don't want to miss out. I wouldn't be surprised if it took a breather soon, but I am not concerned with that. - Allen

Several analysts have come out with targets over $200, which before this last quarter seemed a bit rosy I didn't think it was Rosy. And I predicted $200 a couple of years ago. But I thought then that my prediction was conservative. I'd like a better look at your crystal ball so I can better pick which month's 200 call options to buy :-) What does it saying going forward? Which day/month will it cross 200? Where will Apple stock be in Nov. 2008? Nov. 2009? Best I can gather from your postings is to expect Apple to be at 400 in Nov. 2009, no? Looks like it's ahead of your past predictions if it hits 200 soon. If Apple hadn't beaten the whisper numbers or increased guidance above the analysts average, I don't think there would be as many targets above 200, but seems like all analysts now are looking the same way. It's not a sure thing, but it's now the expectation in the coming year versus just wishful thinking. One thing that helped accelerate the number was the huge success of iPhone as a product and expected growth is well priced in for several years. 10/8/2007 6:18:49 PM I predicted 200 long ago but I was actually thinking it could go much much higher considering its tiny market share. So I agree it could hit 400 but I'd give it two years Message 23949590 12/12/2006 12:45:09 PM OSX is coming on with stealth. 200 within 3 years. Message 23094962 11/25/2006 3:15:33 AM Give it a couple of more years and Apple will hit 200. Message 23041310 2/3/2006 One would hope there will be a lot of new clients for Intel Macs at that time drawn from people who are hating Microsoft crap. Double those sales at least if the dual boot problem is solved (hence 200 stock price). Apple will probably unvail it's living room hub strategy machines at that time too (hence 200 stock price).

Interesting. I'm still thinking about whether to get a new PC (easier) or switch. Switching is still prohibitive for me, I think. But probably the time after that if it were easy I would switch. I should add though that, if this is any parallel, I use firefox and I have a statcounter on my webpage so I can see who uses firefox and IE. I'd say they are almost neck in neck. Analysts--sometimes all they are is a reflection of crowd sentiment. They say up when it's going up and then down when it's going down.
