how much lower do you think $BABA is going?

Not sure. What I do believe is that we will see it go back up again.

Thinking of selling out of 50% of my Disney (cashing out original position to play with house money only) and getting into either CCL or TWTR.

I got in there around mid November. Has been treating me very well. But agreed, might be close to the ultimate high at this point.

That's awesome you got in then!

Yep, the timeless strategy of buy high, sell low, while keeping all your eggs in one basket.

1) Who said anything about buy high - got in at $97
2) Eggs in 1 solid basket is better than eggs in multiple iffy baskets
3) Target price is consistently raised, earnings exceeded, no short term worry necessary.

But not smarter than not buying eggs at all.

So are you predicting against all analysts that some time in the foreseeable future AAPL "bubble" will burst ?

I'm not predicting anything.
Though analysts predictions are usually the worst indicators of future performance.
I bought back at 60 (425 pre-split) when all the analysts wouldn't get near the stock with a ten foot pole.
And didn't buy way back at 700 when analysts were all over it.

If I'm understanding everyone here correctly, it doesn't seem that anyone is predicting anything. The use of the term "prediction" shouldn't really be associated with stocks. Nothing is definite. And analysts know this too.

I'm not placing any stock in analysts, however, if you have some insight that we are un-aware of, please enlighten.
After all, I don't want to lose my $$

if history will repeat itself, it will at one point be very up and one point be very down. these reports can have one stupid word and boom, it falls. and then an analyst reads a good word and it shoots up. gonna be a very volatile day.

look at MSFT.  earnings where as projected, but due to other reasons it fell 9%

i dont recall MSFT having $178 Billion cash on hand ! yes you can say that again BILLION spelled with a B.
i dont recall MSFT generating $18 B profit in one quarter.
i dont recall MSFT having costumer camping out 24hours outside the store to grab the newest phones or gadgets.
this list can go on and on.

Apple is not just a technology company selling electronics and software.
im not here to pump the company but this is one of those stocks that people do feel comfortable putting all eggs in one basket.

what im saying, $178 Billion doesnt evaporate overnight.
 Icahn as an insider knows more then us, if he feels comfortable giving a $200+ Target Price im comfortable with that too. i will take $175 any day :-)


"VC Jason Calcanis predicts Apple will buy Tesla within 18 months, citing (among other things) Tesla's head-start in EV development, touchscreen UI investments, and plans for a battery gigafactory that could also benefit other Apple products. Elon Musk reportedly met with Apple M&A execs back in 2013." quote from today in Seeking Alpha

Just Saying :

 TSLA market value is $25.50 Billion
