Yes, this is better than that August. Then it was all expectation and nothing was accomplished. We had the excitement of having Steve Jobs back at the helm, the announcement of the new board, money and an alliance with Microsoft for Office and other exchanges of information, the settlement money from Microsoft, the change of direction to focus on the strengths (a little confining, if you ask me), and the new ad campaign. All of that provided a lot of promise. NOW we have the realization of that promise, with most of those promises having been already met and new promises being made. Two profitale quarters are behind us, exciting new technology already proven in the marketplace (G3) and even more exciting technology yet to be released. So that August we had a spike in the stock price, for it was only promise. Now we should be able to maintain our gains. They could be even stronger now than then and the price should not fall right back down. Linda

Phil how the "pros" read the tea leaves for 5/6/98 " So what pushed today's spike into the record books? For one thing, software maker Intuit today recommitted itself to developing a new version of its financial planning software, Quicken, for the Macintosh, after saying last month that it was halting development of the software for the Mac platform. Maybe the under $1,000 consumer Apple ? " Another factor at play is Apple's expected unveiling tomorrow of its new line of Powerbook notebook computers, at a media event near the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California. Apple also may detail its strategy for a $1,000 computer line at the event. " You never know ! Regards, Jim K. Source: news.com
