Wishing us all the best!

Problem is...it's a year later and they've posted 3 good quarters since then, with the stock doing nothing. If the stock gets beat down to $100 and then they report great numbers in January, even a 20% pop gets us back to $120. Not good enough.

And oh, ho hum, down another 2.5% today with the market taking another dump, but AAPL down double the averages.

THIS is why I can never stray too far from AAPL....Just makes no damn sense to me why the stock gets hammered.

It was mentioned that AAPL is not a growth stock anymore....I take a different position here.

So the company hasn't released the next "MUST HAVE' product...but who else has??

It should also be noted their ecosystem generates more free cash flow than most companies...

Yeah, the gpro profit margin is much lower than AAPL's ~22%. Even if GPRO can make it 15% with efficiency, AAPL will not lower their margin.

I don't own GPRO now....after I locked in a small gain, dumped it.

I still have some AAPL that is hovering at break even though....

Seems like since it had such a short history with a quick spike when people realized how cool they were, the hype died down with what I'd guess sales followed.

Is this the main reason they went from almost 70 a share to what 19?
