down almost 6% on aftermarket. I wouldn't say its really going to change much though, just a little blip. Personally I think Apple is a shitty stock anyways

apple makes more money than the us government, that still shocks me so much.

some chick tried to convince me that if she had money it would be best to invest in Apple. i was at work so i couldn't say, "no you're a fucking moron" but merely retorted that Apple was trading at something like $340 a share, don't know the exact figure, and that it really won't get that much higher to the point where it would be an incredibly fruitful stock, not to mention unless you have a few grand at your disposal thus it's not going to make your portfolio. then she said that they have more "money" on their balance sheet than the US Treasury. ok, what is money on a balance sheet? everything is stated in dollar values, so that doesn't make sense. i hate stupid women.

It doesn't change shit yo. Jobs is staying at Apple, the board is simply appointing the previous Chief Officer Tim Cook to CEO. nbd

everyone else is thinking the same, so there may not be an opportunity in that.

hedge funds and big institutional investors can actually control the movement of big stocks like GOOG and APPL, not that this has anything to do with the topic though.

Haha i wasnt serious about selling your stock, but its still pretty big news. Yes Jobs didnt invent the ipad, but he did reinvent and rescue the brand. Theres no arguing that without Steve Jobs, Apple wouldnt be here right now, at least not with a store in every town in the country.

This.

He's just a foreman the real tech stuff is behind the scenes. Apple stocks are not something you should sell whilst they're down, they will go back up again when they release what ever new thing they've planned.

i think this is a well run company. perhaps this is your time to buy if you don't own already. perhaps sell and reinvest when the knife stops falling, perhaps 2 days from now.

i have $4 shares that i bought at the beginning of the year. i wont sell them until at least December. anyone selling tomorrow is an idiot. one man doesn't make the company unless its willy wonka (and there actually is a mr. wonka) but seriously,  aapl has continuously outperformed the market with quarterly results always showing positive numbers and beating the expectations. i expect them to continue this in the near future. i could definitely see $425 by the end of the year.

it would be very unwise to sell in this case....

he's still on the board of directors, and tim cook has been with apple for 13 years and has stepped in as CEO before.



and to say apple's products are shit....you're too fucking stupid to argue with.

Jobs will die in the next two years is my bet. He was a great innovator albeit kind of a wacko. Early apple products were great and user friendly, but obvi not great for gaming/ programming. Apple revolutionized the music industry (arguably for the worse) with the development of the ipod. The iphone was an obvious move, but made them a shit ton of money, even if its a piece of shit, which i think it is. Their computers are still good. Fuck garageband.

I'm actually personally thrilled that I've owned stocks in Apply since 2007. And bought more in 2009. And probably going to buy even more when they drop.

If you want, I can tell that story again..

Apple has 76 billion. USA treasury has 74 billion. But then again the USA has a ton of debt too.

You really should have invested two years ago. I used to tell my parents to do this with their money it has gone up 200 dollars a share sine then. My financial advisor talked me out of doing that. I had a little less then 30 k. Needless to say I don't use him anymore. I could be having a pretty nice cushion. Damn assholes
