I made the call on January 2nd that you could make a metric assload of money on Apple. AAPL was sitting at $83 a share on January 3rd with rumors abounding but nothing substantial. There were even rumors floating about Steve Jobs leaving which was likely started by dick head shorts or those who knew AAPL would smoke MacWorld and wanted to push it down early.
Today Apple Inc. sits at $95.80 a share. You made a quick 20% off of two weeks holding. There are very few days like that in the market. Very rarely will you make that kind of cash on a high profile stock when the rumors are widely known.
Apple could have thrown out a shitty iPhone that was nothing more than a iPod with some communications gear just slapped into the form factor. (read PALM and MOT). But they didn’t. They widely exceeded expectations and brought out what is the most revolutionary product in an industry that has a glut of shit ass products with interfaces that were designed by street bums.
The question Nokia, Motorola, Palm, and Sony must be asking themselves is “how the fuck did we blow this one? We had years of a headstart. Why don’t we have something 1000% better than this already? How in two years have they leapfrogged us?”
The answer is simple. There is always room for solving problems in an innovative way. Everything you hear about market saturation is crap. Solve problems in an innovative way and there is always room. Get a great, smart, small, design team and rock their socks off.
Congrats Apple. You threw off the old Apple defeatist attitude (but I KNOW we’re better than Microsoft) and went out and became winners. You quit spouting your party line and declaring yourselves patriots and went out and solved problems and kicked ass. It’s the only thing that matters. Winners win. Losers talk about “buying American.”
There are 12 million of these phones and healty price points, and they are gonna sell all 12 million. This will be the standard by which phones are designed, and everyone else is shitting their pants. Dump your Motorola (the RAZR is shit. seriously) , your Nokia, and your Sony (SNE is a shit stock.). They are losers who cannot figure it out.
