Message 28119613 (XOfruitCake) << think Iphone 5 will get us over $700. What I am not sure is whether that $700 is substainable for all of 13. i.e.>>' (rnsmth) Apple will have earnings per share of over $75 in Fiscal 2013. At a 12 P/E, that will put Apple at $900 a share sometime in October/November of 2013 Message 28119665 (rnsmth) And, just so folks don't think I am blowing smoke with no skin in the game, our IRAs (me and the iWife), are a bit over 60% Jan 2014 $600 LEAPS. That position is up very nicely since we built most of it in February and early March. " Sounds to me like perhaps you should have listened to XOfruitCake.

Ok...let's see now... in Feb'12 the stock was in a range of $450-550... the Jan 2014 $600 leaps at the time were $50 - $80. In March stock was $520-620 and the $600 leaps were $70-120. So buying in Feb Jan'14 $600 leaps at $28 would have only happened in bizarro world... LMFAO... too funny... With the 2014 $600 leaps at $89 now, depending when in March you bought them, you are either underwater or barely flat, while the feb ones have a gain of about 20%-80% and are losing considerable part of that premium week after week, month after month, the closer we are getting to Jan'14 (already have lost 9/23 or 40% of their premium), as you keep holding them waiting for "$900 a share sometime in October/November of 2013"... LMFAO... too funny... So how's that weather in bizarro world??? LMFAO... too funny..

You do realize that that this $1,500,000,000 ad budget only represents Microsoft's portion of it, no? X-D Not Intel's. Not Sony's. Not Samsung's. Not Acer's. Not Dell's. Not Toshiba's. Not Lenovo's. Not Nokia's. Not HTC's. Not Asus's Not Hewlet Packard's. Not Gateway's Not Huwaii's etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.... You should take a good long look at that pig and those numbers in the thread header. IMHO Apple would have been better off investing in R&D than investing in lawsuits.
