About a week ago, a more or less unknown research company downgraded Apple's stock. Since then it's gone up 25 smackers. Apple is the stock you just must buy whenever there's a dip. And this downgrade created a buying dip in hindsight. But overall, I wonder if we're going to look back on this rare and maybe even brave Apple downgrade and laugh as Apple's stock heads closer and closer to $1000 a share and a trillion dollar market capitalization. Yes, $1000 is the target price for must analysts. In a sense, Oracle Investment Research, with the supposed future predicting

Comments Off
Mitt Romney's pick for Vice President, the man who two first names, Paul Ryan, owns a number of let's say safe and conservative stocks. There's no Chipolte or Netflix in his portfolio. There's no biotech or risky drug companies coming up with the new drug to end obesity. No, the conservative budget hawk likes the stocks of large companies with dividends, from Wells Fargo to Exxon Mobil.
Ryan’s stock holdings include Apple, Bristol Myers Squibb, Exxon Mobil, General Electric, Home Depot, IBM, Procter & Gamble, Wells Fargo, Google, McDonald’s, Kraft Foods, Nike and Berkshire Hathaway. (LA Times)

Comments Off
Does anyone really care all that much that Apple missed their projected earnings this past quarter? They shouldn't. All you need to look at is this number: $117.2 billion. That's the huge pile of cash they've accumulated and how that in the coming months and Christmas holidays, Apple will only sell more and more iPhones and iPads and add to this cash hoard:
Cash flow from operations rose 54% during the first 9 months of fiscal 2012 to $41.7 billion. Apple ended the quarter with a whopping $117.2 billion in cash, marketable securities and equity investments. That equates to $123.77
