I'm buying if the price hits 90, fingers crossed. Lots of new game changing products about to be released.

In other news I hope all of you who took my advice regarding Facebook are as happy as I am.

I'm obviously not that stupid as I've made enough from Apple shares to fund my Apple purchases which are numerous.

So lets revisit in 6 months to see how much I've lost or you could have made.

WSJ

But for all of the concerns about Apple’s growth, the company still generated profits in the March quarter that are expected to exceed the combined earnings of technology peers Alphabet Inc., Facebook Inc., and Amazon.com Inc.
Not too shabby

BTW Alphabet is Google

WSJ - Wall Street Journal

At its height, BB had over 40% of the smartphone market and were also posting massive profits and its stock price over $200 a share. But they got complacent, didn't innovate and failed to adapt to the changing market. Not saying Apple are currently in this situation, but it's not difficult to see a parallel in its direction. And in any case, a big hedge fund dumping all its Apple stock is not exactly sending out a positive signal.

A lot of people were right but Blackberry's only market was disrupted. I don't see any similar disruption, all I see are a few bored people trying to make up news. I don't blame any for getting out, I don't own any Apple stock, there's more fun elsewhere if you're game, The price going down is a win for me.

Saying that a company is going out of business because they had the best quarter yet is plain silly.

Slipped by me, I'm part of the reason, my Apple products are so good I've had no need to upgrade. I'd love a new iMac right now, mines fine at 8 years old I'm tempted to melt it down.

Do you know that the Watch made more money than Rolex, what a year.

Duck me, only you could see a massive drop in profits as a good year for them.

Hi,
Apple obviously had a development pipeline that continued after Steve Jobs died.
However, since then - I suspect that real game changing ideas have dried up and I see them having real problems going forward.
Most companies are more than one man - but in Apples case, they are really feeling the loss of their one man.
Quite simply Apple was Steve Jobs
Cheers
Steve

If people get a bit fed up with Apple, you could always do this to your Apple Watch;
