- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -5/+41Awww... and all th Apple haters were so excited with yesterdays news that the iPhone was 'doing poorly'.
- x0nIMIn0x, on 10/10/2007, -3/+38I'll bet you like them at least a little bit now.
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Downnnnnnn? It's at $146.25 right now in after hours trading. That's $8 up from todays close and $11 up from yesterdays close. Actually it's trading at it's all time high right now.
- jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=aapl&sid=0&o_symb=aapl&x=0&y=0
the stock has jumped in afterhours trading. The company is now valued at about half the value of Microsoft and has almost caught up with Google in terms of market value - MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Hmmm, Sales up, more Macs sold in a single quarter than ever before, earnings and profits up from the same quarter a year ago. Obviously Apple is doomed.
- Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16After hour trading ended at $150.18
An ALL TIME HIGH! - Matrix_Prime, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18Macs up 33%? Macs would be up 2033% if they released the damn redesign! Where are you new iMac?
- cyfer2000, on 10/10/2007, -6/+19"i smell some doom in the air"
Do you mean play doom on the iphone? It's just around the corner.
http://digg.com/apple/iPhone_Can_Now_Serve_Web_Pages_Run_Python_Open_Source_Apps - MikeDugg, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17To all you Apple haters:
1. Get a life. It's just a company.
2. Apple is now worth more than Sony and Nintendo COMBINED. - drlha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Indeed, the gloating masses are mysteriously absent from this thread.
- Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12That is a LOT of phones!
More than any other phone in history (for the first quarter) - Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+81 quarter < 1 year!
2nd grade math... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13Dont try to make him pity you, he probably worked hard for his great job, in order to be able to buy that much stock. We don't feel bad you're poor.
- Quix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8That's 270,000 units in a DAY AND A HALF. Try a calculator.
HappyScrappy = bad at math. - noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Personal attacks zybch? Little much over being proven wrong by people who were quoting you facts in the first place. This has nothing to do with fanboyism (I don't own the pissing iPhone and don't have a plan to unless the market for apps opens up) it has everything to do with a bunch of children making childish insults and forecasting the downfall of a great product because they didn't understand or care how the stock worked. Once again fact toting 'fanboys' prove the raving lunatic brigade wrong and all you can do is try a lame personal attack? You're pathetic.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15I don't think that's doom you smell. More likely all that stuff you're full of.
- solistus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Way to take the high ground there.
- laserman92027, on 10/10/2007, -12/+18I bought 5000 shares at 43 and I dont even like Apple.
- dotorg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7You trust quarterly reports more than you trust independent reports.
Why? Its illegal to falsify those numbers, and they're coming from the people who actually know the numbers... not estimates. - ashwinashwin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9apple always makes conservative forecasts... always...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I did, 25,000 shares and haven't sold them yet.
- kelly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7lower end of predictions???!!! That figure is how many were sold within the first 30 hours... not the number that have been sold up 'till now.
That number is WAY above even the most conservative predictions. - dzorz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7If you lived in my country, you, your family and your kids would be settled for life.
- MikeDugg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Hahaha. I bought 400 shares at SIX DOLLARS waay back in 2003.
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6True, but it was no where near as bad as some true morons tried to make out. As for the predictions, I don't think there's such a thing as a reliable Apple forecast... everything is so over-hyped by the media and 'analysts' that it is damn near impossible to meet expectations (it's just more exciting when they do.)
- judgeFire, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9For even more details, a webcast of the 'Apple Financial Results' - conference call is available at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq307/
- brockpetrie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3He might have used margin as well.
- cfulp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31,764,000 macs sold in 1 quarter. Now you can take your lolz back to the World of Warcraft forums.
- DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3So now all of a sudden Doom is useless? I've never heard anyone say that before. It figures it would be with regards to the iPhone.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Although I have no doubt the company could be run better than Gil Amelio, Michael Spindler and John Sculley ran it in those years, the company might be the worse for it. I know that's odd, but here's why:
The Steve Jobs who cam back to Apple in 1997 isn't the same Steve Jobs who was pushed out in 1989. I think he learned a lot about business when he was gone. For example, remember him building the entire fancy NeXT factory (that immediately went idle)?
If Steve had never left, he might not have learned these lessons, and given that he was the boss, he might be making those same mistakes today.
This isn't to say I don't like the guy. He does a great job. But I think he'd be a little less great if he hadn't left and come back. - HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4No. Apple said 10M units in a year (1% of the 1B/year unit market). By end of 2008 is 18 months.
- MikeDugg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Oh dumbass - learn about the market. $6 is the adjust split price. When I bought it was $12 something, but since it split in 2005, that made it like I was buying it at $6 something.
- streak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe you listen to that wacko Cramer too much.
- kelly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's 270,000 units in a DAY AND A HALF.
- firsttube, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I've been watching AAPL for years. Rarely is it ever a bad time to buy. I shoulda bought at 12.00, I shoulda bought at 50.00 I shoulda bought at 90.00, 120.00, etc. Even 150.00 will look like a good price when it gets to 200.00.
- egrefen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Way to prove your point, man...
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Apples to oranges.
- Dysarthria, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8Apple is a great company. Its a wonder where they would be at today if it had been as well run from 1989-1997
- streak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sheesh! A 3G iPhone won't be available for many months, the iPhone is only available in the U.S., prices are at their highest in the beginning, many switchers are still hoping to live out their contracts.
What do you want for the first 2 days of sales, when there are another 1-1/2 YEARS until the end of 2008? - AnimaMaelstrom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23G I'm sure is coming and you completely ignored the part about new models being released. It was mentioned that they would be approaching the iPhone just as they did the iPod which would include different models and lower prices. That makes up for a large amount of the "shortfalls", instead of just replying to one portion of my post maybe try reading the whole thing.
P.S. "It'll be tough to make up for shortfalls in a country of 300M through sales to 52M" ... ummm, did you forget Europe which you just mentioned in your first post? At least try to acknowledge your own posts in full even if you're going to ignore part of mine. - Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4You sounded like an ass, but you are right!
- BlueDjinn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3The only ones who "expected" it to sell insane numbers (half a million, a million, etc) were the analysts who are usually wrong about EVERYTHING they predict.
Prior to yesterday, the ONLY "expectation" number that Apple stated was that they hoped to sell 10 million total by the end of 2008 (a full year and a half). They *never* gave any "opening weekend" predictions or expectations. - AnimaMaelstrom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Yeah, ever hear of new markets (Europe, Canada, Australia, just to name a few), new models of the phone at various prices, holiday seasons, etc., etc., etc.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I bought 200 shares at $12 (split adjusted). Looks like my 2-year-old will be able to afford college some day after all. It pays to be an Apple fan.
- kelly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Nobody is suggesting that 270,000 simply be multiplied by 240. That would mean that Apple would sell 64,800,000. If you account for standard interest levels tapering off after initial massive buys, its still very VERY reasonable that they'll reach their 10,000,000 goal...
When you consider the fact that those initial buyers were only existing ATT customers and (far lesser) those that canceled their existing wireless contracts... its reasonable to conclude that as more people's contract's run out with their existing wireless carriers that Apple will easily double or triple their 10 million goal. - MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Considering they sold 1/4 of their yearly estimate in 30 hours (of course that won't and didn't continue), I think getting to 1 million by year's end is not that hard. Selling 10 million by the end of 2008 will be a tougher road unless they release other models.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Magnus,
Why not ignore the obvious fanboys who spew that nonsense? I know you'd like to believe it, but they DON'T make up the majority of Mac users. Most Mac users could not care less what OS you're running. - moofer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22nd grade math taught that 1 quarter < 1 dollar
- Sagags, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Also there is no way apple would release a 3G version by the end of this year, I double we will see a update to the iPhones hardware before july 2008
- rdoger6424, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's a web of trust.
I trust apple's report because if apple is found to be lying, the SEC will have a fit (stock delisting). Nobody wants the SEC to get pissed off with them. -
