I'm leaving the country this afternoon to a place with no television, internet access (Fiji). Where do you think AAPL will be in 2 1/2 weeks when I get back? THis market makes me nervous... JB (who has been holding AAPL for the last 6 years, waiting patiently (stupidly?) for these days...)

"As of this morning AAPL tripled it's 1997 closing price..." BANG! 39 3/4! I've officially tripled my original 13 1/4 shares! Long and loving it! 53, here we come! Ian Bruce New York, NY

Fast, Cheap & Out of Control. Yep, that's the video I rented. (I figured it was an appropriate choice for the market today.) FC&OC is a documentary by Errol Morris (Thin Blue Line) which juxtaposes the accomplishments of a circus animal trainer, a topiary gardener, a man who studies the behavior of naked mole rats and a man who develops robots. Dialogue, image subject matter are collaged in a free-wheeling manner which alternately delights and terrifies. So what have I missed?

40 1/16 @ 12:45 - 9.8M Oh. >We've far outperformed the market this year and I expect that to continue. As far as AAPL is concerned things look great. The bigger concern in the near term seem to be the weakness the the overall market.< Two predictions I made to myself: 1) Last night, that AAPL would peak today at 45 and close at 43. Let's see. 2) At the beginning of the year, that AAPL would get up to $40 and that the overall market would simultaneously tank allowing me to sell off my AAPL and buy diversified mutual funds at scared-cheap prices. My portfolio is doing fine today but I know friends and family will be calling tonight asking what to do. Be careful what you wish for.
