Sell Apple Shares at $475

Now that Apple is flirting with $500, you want to modify that target price?

The Zune.  Master of mp3 players.  Stay tuned for more nonsense.

OMG....I think numb nuts will ban me next.  I'm sure he is living in his parents basement...absolutely sure.  

I've made $13,000 since jan 25th..$5280 today..how is your portfolio looking?  Idiot.  Can't wait to read your next sage advice.

He says "Sell at $475" when the stock goes over $495 in the same day.  What brilliant trading advice, we should all aspire to be as gifted!  lol

Sell at $475? Less than 12 hours after this stupid article went up, AAPL's well within reach of $500. What a bunch of nincompoops at this site. Nincompoops.

My prediction: Apple hits $500 and then dives AT LEAST 50 points. Maybe even 100. Just like when it hit $400 back in July 2011.

People who followed the advice and are looking at pre-market prices are getting ready to kick themselves.

First, Wall Street loves Apple?  Just due to one missed earning everyone was questioning Apple's growth.  The stock price went no where during the past 4 month leading to their 4th quarter earnings. That missed earnings can be explain in part by the delay in releasing their new iphone.  This is also a reason why they had such a high earnings surprise this quarter.  Even I was worried about their stock price then, seeing them chasing after so many patent litigations, I thought this might greatly affect their revenue if they loss a case.  But no, turn it around... they reason they went after those all those ligations was because they knew they would already beat their earnings.  So they exploited their resources to gain ground on their patents.  If they won a case that would be a huge upset, allowing more market penetration for their products and limiting their competition.  Yes it is true that their greatest visionary Steve Jobs passed away.  But Tim Cooks was also beside Steve Jobs since 1998, that’s why Jobs recommended him for CEO; I am confident that he knows what he's doing. Steve Jobs ran the company superbly well and a commend him for that.  But I’m sure he didn't do it all by himself. He had a great team to help him and that team is still there.  Now you’re comparing an ultrabook to an ipad.  That just doesn't make sense; people who want an ipad want it for the touch interaction and interface.  The ultrabook just doesn't have that and Apple had an ultrabook way before anyone else... it’s called the MacBook Air.  Try competing with a product that has been out for many year verses one that just came out to imitate.  Apple isn't the only one who has their labor outsourced. Almost all major tech companies do.  But for some reason Apple is the only one getting this attention. If all product were made in American imagine how much more you would have to pay for products.  Now put this to though.  Imagine Apple’s stock price after they release the iPad 3, iPhone 5, new iTV line this year, and the chance that they might start paying out a dividend.  I'm sorry but this article is just irrational. Provide numbers and facts, don't make cliché and dumb excuses.

Apple isn't just a stock or just a company.  It is an ideal, a way of life.  I read that a man in China sold one of his kidneys in order to purchase an Ipad 2.  You can short a stock, a business can have bad quarter, competition can surface, but the fact remains that it takes a lot to destroy an ideal.  Esepecially one that is etched so deeply into the consumers mind.  

Today my Andoid device asks me for my gmail password.NO WAY !!! It is probably malware trying to trick me!!!If my iOS device were to ask me, I would not hesidate two seconds.Some people feel very safe in their lovely walled garden.PS Any ultra book trend will sell lots of MacBook Airs.Top management love them, and will create a trickle down effect.Windows8 will be even worse rubbish than Windows7.I am waiting for the day when MacOSX is on the iPad. BALIGEKO

Testicles...I mean article.  

What a funny article! I've been riding this Apple train since December of 2001. Shares were around $10 back then. I had 80 shares but now have 160 after the 2 for 1 split a few years ago. So originally I had less than a thousand but that is now worth over $75,000. Yeah, like I'm gonna sell! Hold on for the iPhone in China and iTV, kids. This is going to get crazy!

That alone tells us : You know nothing about aapl.  You probably don't own any stocks.  Your probably living in your parents basement.  This is the most hits you've ever had on a post so it will just encourage you to do it again.

I bought AAPL just before last earnings. For a long time i thought it was too expensive. I was naive. Show me a stock that's worth more than AAPL and I'll sell AAPL and buy that instead. I did my research. I just couldn't find a better stock to buy. The numbers speak for themselves. P/E , cash... And you know people worldwide can't wait to get the next iThing.Get smart and buy now.

Nothing but trolling. Total bozo without a clue. Let me lay this on you. I'll try to keep it simple. Before apple reported last quarter her P&E was 15.3 if I remember off the top of my head. After hours I saw a high of $666 on the spike. That was going to be her go to number in the next week. That gave her a new P&E of 12.7 She runs to $477 P&&E 13.3. You take away the $97 billion and you have a P&E of 8. Are you stupid? For the kicker. 3 quarter last year sucked in some respects because of delayed iPhone release. You have iPad 3 in March. Educated guess here...iPhone 5 back to June release. Now you get a killer 3rd quarter to relass last 3 quarter earnings. EPS goes through roof. Keep it simple 3 quarter numbers equal 4th quarter last year. drives EPS from 35 to 44 at a P&E of 13(not even taking in to account the billions more in cash) $you get $575 or so. Then you get a 4th quarter with an apple tv (or universal remote) plus china, plus 15 inch air and you are well with in $620 - $700. Yes there will be dips. Iran, Siria, Euro, shorts having their day. But in the next year? Don't quit your day job. I made $3,000 today on Apple. What did you make?

In the US you have a clear tendency to distroy yourself  AT & T,Microsoft etc.As a small French citizen i have some questions to the clever analyst  who wrote this piece of paper .How much money did you make with apple. do you know where is Asia,China, do you have an idea how people live there? If investors sell apple what should they buy in place? I would be please to see my remarks published. Thanks

I bought my first 30 shares when I was 20 years old sometime around June of 2005 for something around $75.... I bought more at $109... bought quantity at $215 and my broker told me I was nuts. More at $336..... and he really freaked out and told me I was wasting my doe.... Soon I think I'll pick up another bushel at/below $447.... Look at their products. Look at their cash. Look at their patents for products that don't exist yet. Markets revolutionized: Personal computers, digital music (worlds largest music store), mobile phone, tablet.... They'll make some really beautiful devices from porcelain soon I think... few years out.... Siri is gathering loads of data as we speak, no pun intended, which will be used for the ipad 3, new macbooks/air's/whatevers, and the tube. Yeah, the t.v. will probably come soon. It'll run on siri, and perfectly... (except for the scottish (youtube.com/watch?v=SGxKhUuZ0Rc&feature=related). Siri won't work for everyone i guess, so you'll control it with iphone 4's and 5's, the touch, ipad 3 and maybe 2, and surely they'll supply a stock/standard remote for itv customers who don't have other apple devices (extra $49? — you bet)  AAPL will do very well in education too (first 20 years of a persons life — cha-ching!). Books get milked. Publisher profits protected. Publishers cost drops while publishers profits also drop. All good though as these remain in balance.  Books/Education Apps sold per course, per semester... perhaps as annual/multi-year bundle for AAPL's financial accounting purposes. Info current and always updatable. Publishers sign long term contracts. They'll do well in personal-medical. Health records. BMI. Charts. Graphs. Forward looking growth targets. Food choices. Devices will monitor vitals while you sleep; calls ambulance if problem, et al. Apple will offer a carrier service. It will run primarily over wifi or future subsequent. It will be cheaper than traditional carriers. It may make att and vz scramble. Buy time warner? Apple designeres are not afraid to move the chains. Ditching standards creates new standards eg annihilating various buttons,  cd-rom, removable batteries, firewire and other ports, reduced number of usb's compared to other manufacturers, spinning hard drives, removable memory, and soon the 3.5mm audio jack — (get ready skull candy!) — and who knows what else, I am missing lots here. Point: they don't care how difficult it is to do something, only if it is possible or not. New, shiny devices every year. Software education equally/more important. Need to keep up with learning in order to really move the chains. A new device every year with the same software will eventually lead to a demise as many companies have proved. Me thinks aapl understands this well eg wwdc. Yes, aapl may string consumers along, but they love it. Whether they paddle out to catch each new wave or just sit at the shore and enjoy the surf and sounds and sea air, the waves roll in either way... and almost everyone's at the beach these days. Step 1: Buy. Step 2: Hold. Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2. 

Whoa Whoa Whoa....stop the clock!AAPL.  Straight up.  Thank ewwwww!

Wow...what a crock!The Street does not love Apple.  They have been saying that such a large company could not continue to grow at 50% or even 20%.  They have been wrong.  Apple is employing many people in China as well as in America.  In China, people are coming out of real poverty by the millions.  True they do not have our standards but for them it is a hugh move upward.  In the US in the 1800s we did the same thing.  Their people will want and get more as they become more successful just as we did.Slave labor...that is just your spin man!  Maybe you should buy some Apple shares before you totally miss that slow boat!

What is the lowest any growth company can sell for? They post more than 25% year over year growth or more..Apple TV is coming..Wrist phones ( curved touch screens on your wrists)iPad 3iServer??iBookiFool..MSFT was selling at 70 PE ratio at it;s peakAMZN is selling at 13o PE multiple and Apple at 13.. I think there is still time before we sell..

One day the sun will go nova and we'll lose everything. I'd sell now ~

what is an "ultrabook"? 

You must be crazy. I stopped reading when you said "But remember that nothing lasts forever ".

This is as shallow an analysis as you can get.

But you need to say more than it's contrarian for your article's premise.  If you want to say apple can't go up forever then give some data as to what the reasonable stock price and growth prospects are.  Not just Steve jobs died therefore they will screw up and fail.  Yes it is a competitive world and the unexpected can come from many places but they arear rally firing on all cylinders and executing.  You don't have to think they're the best investment opportunity but that does not mean the end is here.

The writer knows nothing. It'll pull back when the greedy ones take profit then AAPL will barrel ahead like a freight train past $600 by the end of the year. C'mon, really? The P/E is 13.58!!! This was click-bait.

I appreciate the Ronnie Mund reference but you couldn't be more wrong.

the author of this article is a Schmuck....LOL

This is someone who is shorting the stock or just had his brain removed
