it hasn't which is why they haven't felt pressured to give a dividend, which would really be nice.Cash hoarding at that level is a mistake, though to date it hasn't hurt their stock's performance.Dirty corporate Apple, sitting on all that cash while people need jobs...And the one fun fact I don't see anyone discussing here: Apple is now up to $76.2 BILLION in cash and equivalents.
Why Apple Won't Pay A DividendA philosophical reason is not wanting to prioritize shareholder value over product.it hasn't which is why they haven't felt pressured to give a dividend, which would really be nice.Cash hoarding at that level is a mistake, though to date it hasn't hurt their stock's performance.Dirty corporate Apple, sitting on all that cash while people need jobs...And the one fun fact I don't see anyone discussing here: Apple is now up to $76.2 BILLION in cash and equivalents.
Still have those 27 shares?
Problem is Apple won't be judged based on their own guidance (9.30) or even expectations (10.08), but rather based on "whisper" numbers which I've seen up to 12.10! Talk about being a victim of your own success. I considering selling off a portion of my position if the run up continued from yesterday into today, fully expecting it to drop back after the reporting. Looks like everyone else jumped the gun and are selling off early so I'm holding tight instead. I am worried that expectations will be unachievable and even if Apple hits the 10.08 people will be disappointed and it'll fall all the way back to $400.4th quarter earning in another 30-45 minutes. I decided NOT to sell and am along for the ride today. It's been ugly so far. street is 10.08. C'mon Fruit - beat it.
Hopefully this starts a run to $500.
I think within a month we'll see AAPL at the largest market cap in the world. SUCK IT EXXON!!111
After Hours: 461.00 +40.50 (9.63%)
hit 460, back to around 457.Nice lil bump.
Some of us have real money invested. Today was a good day /Cube.
ETA: Even if you don't have $$ invested in AAPL, watching what they are doing is nothing short of phenomenal. I have followed Apple very closely for a long, long time and I am simply stunned by the success they are having. I mean, $46.33 billion in revenue and $13.06 billion in profit, in a quarter?!? Are you kidding me?! I remember when they were losing hundreds of millions every quarter; when their yearly revenue was under $2 billion.
Thats why they deserve the Man of the Year award.
Economics prize, fanwanking doesn't bring about peace, only bickering
Someone should set up a poll: "What's dumber to root for: teams in different cities you never lived in (like a combo Lakers/Steelers fan), a NCAA conference instead of a team, or a multinational corporation (that may rely on slave labor)?"
how many different funds and stocks have you invested in?It's dumb for many of us to root for our investments in Apple stock to rise?
too many to remember, and I'm a relative novice.how many different funds and stocks have you invested in?
I love watching the bitter Apple haters slink out of the woodwork after an AAPL quarterly report.
who is an apple hater?
why dont you start threads on each of those?too many to remember, and I'm a relative novice.how many different funds and stocks have you invested in?

Not quite true. The Siri voice thingy makes a significant difference. Plus, battery life and camera are significantly improved.
I held off on upgrading my 4 because I agree the changes weren't worth it, but insinuating it's stupid is a stretch. The market for used iPhones is huge. You can flip your old phone to recoup most if not all of the cost of the upgrade. That's all assuming you want to stay under contract, which I'm sure most people are doing.I sold my FIL's 4 for him on ebay for $315 and he got the new 4S (under contract of course) for $299. It was a no brainer for him.
this thing will be at 500 soon... God bless Options
Yum Yum Dim Sum. Bought 2 calls for 3k yesterday and sold 1 put. SCHWING!!!1 extra bowl of rice per quarter
Yes, that is true if you don't place any cost in signing a long term contract.I held off on upgrading my 4 because I agree the changes weren't worth it, but insinuating it's stupid is a stretch.
