I got out just below 600, I'll most likely go all in Monday depending on how the open goes.

My mom began using Macs with the Lisa when she worked in a parochial school as the secretary. She is now 90 years old in a very comfortable nursing home financed entirely through her Apple stock portfolio. Two sisters are now Mac fanatics, and I believe it was the move into smart phones that brought one of them in.

I don't think I responded very well to his questions because AAPL was in the midst of one of its 20 pt daily dives... I have played the time the market game on one of these pull back occasions and really didn't gain much.

Like the present one, from 700+ to maybe below 600 on Monday. Do you trade the movements, or are you able to keep your cool? And if the latter, what helps you kepp calm: Your spreadsheets, your faith, ...?<br />All the best from Copenhagen & Simon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404119294301833939.post-28328651204555941962012-10-17T22:51:22.586-07:002012-10-17T22:51:22.586-07:00Frank,

I mean immediate family like Sister, brother, mom dad, aunt uncle. If so, how do they react to your AAPL strategy? Do they look at you as an investing guru? Do you get bombarded with questions, or do you keep it all under wraps? just Dennis Hildebrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288448752355583927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404119294301833939.post-87519554668481916032012-10-16T13:38:17.483-07:002012-10-16T13:38:17.483-07:00Hi Dennis, I began using Apple products 25 years a...Hi Dennis, I began using Apple products 25 years ago and about the time Gil Amelio was about to take the company down, I bought my first shares. Since then I went into option trading, primarily Apple options. I have done extremely well and your column is the one I look for prior to each earnings release. You are definitely relevant to me.

That's why the product launches are so dicey, and it makes the revenue and earnings susceptible to huge swings..

I believe that he is a boon to Apple's financials, and the overall growth..

I am not willing to trust this, but I would not be surprised if people are waiting for the 13 inch MacBook Pro, because of cost. The iPad is also cutting into sales.
