Go go Wong Way Wu... you've almost outlived your nickname - pwetty soon we'll have to call you Wight Way Wu

Tommo - Almost!

And speaking of “almost,” AAPL is almost $77 already. I expect by the close of next week, once Wallstreet has digested MWSF keynote, it’ll be there (and time again for Mr. Wu to raise his estimates… once again.) However pre-Q1 results announcement jitters might throw that off until the week following.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see AAPL push into the 80’s a little past mid-month. Gonna be another wild ride up this year for AAPL; more flat-ling or even the begin of the BIG dip for MSFT.

Typical AAPL hater talking down the stock. We all know it will be over $150 in two weeks, and over $300 by February. Are you short on it or something? Maybe you should disclose that before spreading FUD.

He does finally seem to be "getting" Apple to some extent. That is certainly progress. However, don't be too surprised to see Apple stock actually dive for a while after MWSF- particularly if some of the wilder speculation doesn't come to pass. Like the "streaming video ecosystem"- access to a world of content, with none of it on your hard drive- or, even worse, imagine the reaction if they don't actually release intel macs until their original timeline of June- MWSF will be seen as a dismal failure, no matter what they come up with.

Still, we shall see soon enuf.

AAPL will dip in a couple of weeks due to not being able to meet the expectations both in terms of results and in terms of new products.

When it dips, it will be a good time to buy since investors will totally over react. The mid-term and long-term prospects for AAPL are incredible as they are firing on all cylinders and growing in all directions...BUT...people are expecting waaaaay too much to come out of MWSF.

Intel based Macs were supposed to come in around May, and here it is January and if they are announced they will *meet* expectations (not beat them, which increases stock price).

Plus the initial reviews will reflect pent up greed. The *expectation* (based on hype) is Intel iBooks @ $750. Apple would need to *beat* that to get a bump in stock. Apple might have Intel iBooks as low as $1,000 and they'll be a hit with consumers...which will be reflected in the stock price *after* the initial MWSF price dip.

The same can be said with iLife, iWork, new iPods, the Mac mini, and everything else everyone is expecting. Apple, through no fault of their own, can't possibly deliver on the buzz.
