After declining by more than 10% in reaction to its earnings report after the close on Monday, Apple Computer (AAPL) has now erased all of its declines and is now actually up.  So much for concerns regarding the health of Steve Jobs.

    conservative, weak, forecast is intended to encourage long term investment. So is no dividend, no stock-split, all to encourage long term investment. And to discourage day-trading, I just hope people do not over-react and do not make issue out of non-issue such as rumor of Job's health,,,

    If oil continues to unwind, AAPL may make another run at $200. There was good follow through today along with positive money flow.

    stay foolish, a dividend WOULD encourage long term investment. The lack of a dividend actually makes it more highly traded. If you want to receive dividends, you're probably not going to trade a stock.

    You have a point, Jared, I do not disagree. My point is that Apple's profit can be reinvested in R&D, new product innovation, like another IPhone, etc, rather than paying out dividends, it is my definition of long term investment.

    when will people learn and stop letting themselves get manipulated by the shorts? They own the media so unless its from AAPL then take it with a grain of salt.

    Nothing wrong with USER 163362 selling before earning, I prefer puts, ahead of earnings. With AAPL it's becoming a no brainer. Think of all the shares you would own if you had done that everytime. or you could even invest the proceeds in something else to diversify (the horror).

    As I predicted, we are on track to end the week between $175 and $180 if today's performance is any indication of potential for Thursday and Friday. By the end of the month the stock will likely be close to $195. AT&T's side comment about the 3G iPhone is another good reason to be confident in Apple's outlook, and the rollout in another 20 countries for August 20th will ensure iPhone 3G sales of between 10 and 15 million by the end of calendar 2008. This will add substantially to the sales and profits, and I suspect that $235 to $250 by year's end is not totally out of line. The wise investor will take note and act accordingly to avoid missing out on the upside.
