Why The iPhone 3G Might Make Apple Inc. (AAPL) A Breakout Buy
2008-05-25 17:08:00 Now as you know AAPL isn’t my typical play, but since I’m awake 20 hours/day thinking about all potential profit angles, this one’s popped up on my radar. THIS 3G iPhone news has whipped the no-stock-market-experience-geek-s into a frenzy as if they were strippers on coke and the usual stock-market-talking-heads are now running around as if they were about to utter something meaningful for once (nahhhhhhhhh, that’ll ever happen!), so I gotta interject. And remember, my word actually means something cuz not only is my trading account up 40% in the past 6 months, I nailed how Visa would perform (initial VMW-type price rise, but slightly more conservative, before quick drop off, seriously…months before its happened, read my article HERE), but most importantly, a few months ago before its 40% drop, I smacked all those AAPL cheerleaders with $300 price targets across their big fat fee-earning, research-lacking faces by urging caution at $200…see glorious article HERE) Now I re...

Apple Inc. delays Leopard for the iPhone
2007-04-17 06:18:00 Investment banks support Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) decision to delay the debut of Leopard in light of the perceived future success of the iPhone! And why are they are not at all worried? As stated in one of my posts, the delay of the Leopard is earnings driven and could be viewed as a buying opportunity. The delay is indeed a temporary setback for AAPL but, admit it or not, it is a wait designed to ensure and promote long-time success for the company and its products. Steve Jobs firmly believes the iPhone as the key factor to drive the next phase of the company's growth. The company has a major strategic advantage over other phone manufacturers, i.e., they have iTunes and the license agreements to sell digital music from the majority of the record labels. And you better believe that AAPL will capitalize on these! And being the key driver and all, another delay is the mobile phone's release would do a significant amount of damage to the credibility of both the firm and Jobs than a tempo...
Apple Inc's Steve Jobs, iPhone and Leopard - one has to give in?
2007-04-14 16:23:00 Instead of debuting Leopard at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, CA, this June 2007, Apple Inc. (AAPL) will release "a near final version" of Mac OS X 10.5, a sort of preview of the complete feature set at that time. Bad news? Perhaps for the fierce Mac users, but overall? Hmmm. Let me check the facts first.Apple's iPhone is right on track ? passing several required certification tests and is expected to start shipping in late June as originally planned. The device is touted to have the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has come with a price. Engineering resources at AAPL have reportedly been diverted from Leopard to the mobile device, possibly indicating the firmness of Apple's belief that the market holds tremendous promise and business opportunities for the entity. Despite its forecast of modest sales in the initial year of release, Apple may capitalize and leverage on the hype surrounding the iPhone (e...

Apple Inc. and Beatles? Apple Corps settle
2007-02-07 00:07:01 The long and winding road has come to an end for the Beatles, at least as far as the dispute over their Apple logo is concerned. Apple Inc., the maker of the iPod, and Apple Corps, the guardian of the Beatles? music interests, announced yesterday that they had settled their dispute over the technology company?s name and its use of an apple logo. Under the new agreement, Apple Inc. now owns all the trademarks related to ?Apple? and will license certain trademarks back to Apple Corps Ltd., the London company founded by the Beatles in the late 1960s. The agreement immediately raised speculation that the Beatles? music, which has been unavailable on legitimate digital music services, might soon be licensed for downloads from the Apple iTunes service. Neither company would comment directly on that prospect, though both sides said they were happy to have worked things out. ?We love the Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks,? said Steven P. Jobs, ch... |
