@jess grats to you sir
would like to know if you are planning to go into the US market?
@rusha84 yes AAPL is definitely Apple Inc. Yes, that's prolly why the stock was down a year ago.... The stock market tends to be jittery when it comes to these issues (i.e. Steve Jobs health, economic downturn), when really it shouldn't, but then again thats prolly what Buffet meant by the market being irrational. Although these issues do have some bearing to a companies future, its not that huge a factor in the long run. As I've pointed time and time again, its the entire management, sound financials, and the intrinsic value that determines a companies health.
Oh yeah and if you were keeping track of my stock post (page 4), APPL just closed today at 190.25 thats 136% gain in under a year.
