Sister company, Sands Chn (1928.HK) announced interim dividend and special dividend recently.

will it hit 436 as of jun 2013?? damn!

that would be nice, then i can buy more at low price.

Did you expect to see a big gain? I didn't. In fact, I think we have seen the high of AAPL back in 2012. Their markets have been attacked by competitors. Iphone's market share may likely fall to single digit by end of this year. Ipad may go down to 15-20% end of this year. Ipod is done. Mac .... I think the sales of Mac is a function of sales of iphone/ipad. How about iwatch .... how many people are wearing watches? How about itv? TV market is very competitive, I wouldn't want to spend $0.01 extra to have apple logo in front of the TV. How about 5" iphone? That may work but it depends on the pricing. They can't be continue having a high premium on their products. I think the only market keeping iphone alive is USA. Iphone is way too small. I kept saying iphone is designed for kids and women's hands. When I see a big guy holding an iphone, it is like seeing a big guy wearing 2-sized smaller t-shirt.

You may ask ... why don't I short it? I'm too chicken. It is too much risk given the rewards. Not my taste.

Support will come in strong at 470- 480 (200ma) level.
Be patient.. if market continues correction, it may happen.

yes sir. i kind of agree with your view of apply products. i really perceive that its iphone soon be history (sales missed the target today) and only its ipad is keeping it as at today. i had used iphone up to series 4s and now i am usong others as i am not willing to pay so much more for a little 'humble' phone (actually i am a phone maniac/enthusiast and a collector).

happy trading pal.

yeah. i remembered last time i got a call in the middle of a night and my friend simply yelled at me and said "buy aapl' now, its 494 !!!
well, lets see how the market goes. nasdaq is recovering from the apple shock at the moment ....

Don't get me wrong though. AAPL as a company will continue doing well for the years to come. However, we are not likely to see the explosive growth in this company ever again. It is too big. The company will continue milking billions of dollars for the years to come. Just like microsoft .... but I like microsoft better because it is a more diversified company.

I didn't like rim/blackberry because it is a one product company. I don't like AAPL, because, no matter how you slice it, it is still a one product company. Sure enough it has iphone, ipad, ipod, ipod mini -- they are just iphone in different sizes. itunes -- I read their financial report years ago, it only contributed a small percentage to their bottom line. The majority of their bread and butter is coming from iphone (and all the different sizes of it -- including ipad, etc). I don't like one product company.

What?... you mean the kewl factor for AAPL is no longer there?? Then, I must sell sell sell

Joke aside, imo AAPL stock price is actually divorced itself from the fundamentals. The fundamental story for AAPL remains intact, it is a good company making tons of money but because there are so many ppl owning this company, the expectation is really high. Any kind of less than stellar earning news, it will be punished. That's why, it is very frustrating for longs holder.

I'm just going to trade this thing and follow the price action.

Exactly as I expected actually, sometimes I think I'm kind of a genius on this. Lots of people gets confused with heavily spreading information and they have no ability to digest.
So what's your play at this juncture? long or short? i bet short?

I want to see it dives below $500 for short break out.. but now.. holding pattern. Oh well.

Which website can see dividend stock in US?

Yahoo Finance will show if the stock got dividends or not.
Just enter the ticker, look under Div & Yield: fields.

i am thinking if it closed below 500 today, down trend may continue for the next few days. if it closed above 510, then ambiguous sideline trading may be ahead....just a wild guess.

Yeah.... me too. I got my price alert set and waiting for the $500 trap door.
Let see if can happen or not.

I search the link: http://finance.yahoo.com/#, can't find the ticker or Div & yield.

Hope you can give link.
