iPhone 5 + iPad 3 + rumor of Apple TV = very small chance of decline... I don't see Apple stocks declining for another couple years or so.

Overpriced hype, they will bring nothing new to the table.

you know what they will promote the IPAD 3 to have... siri! that will be their only selling point.

Iphone 5, your just looking at a redesign, no real improvements with ios

Apple tv... a gimmick nothing more - they will not replace the current manufactures like panasonic

the ipad 3 is set to ahve a Quad core apple A6 proccessor, and no doubt Quad core GPU that will be a big sell point for the ipad 3,

yes the iphone 5 is due for a badly needed redesign, but who says its not going to be powerfull, nor can you be so quick to judge about the changes that will be made in IOS 6.

the apple tv was never meant to replace big manufactures like panasonic. it was made so that you could share content frome your iDevice and itunes libary on your tv. and also for airplay mirroring games and other stuff,

so i think that 2012 is going to be a ood year for apple if things pan out as the rumors say.

how am i wrong gallito?

2 things that raise a stock's price are company performance and company perception. Perception is from rumors and analysts mostly. As an analyst why WOULDNT you pick a stock that you think is going to perform well, then publicly pump the hell out of it to raise the stock price? As more people want to buy the stock, the stock continues to raise in price. EVERYONE that owns said stock wins, including the analyst that is pumping the stock he owns.

Again, i never said this was an apple ONLY thing. But which analysts over reach more than apple analysts? Hell you barely hear from analysts in other fields.. and i read a ton of news every day. I also never said apple had anything directly to do with these maneuvers, did i? so how is it a fanboy statement? Apple stockholders big and small win when apple's stock is constantly pumped by "analysts". But ya never know, they could get some side pay from apple for the constant pumping.

wumberpeb,
never said they didnt. their stock would have went up anyways because of high sales.. but if you can pump it up so more want to buy it, it goes up even more. that was my point.

honestly I only read the 1st paragraph.. but you were right on that paragraph.. so will assumed you went on a streak and wrote the other 2 paragraphs using your laptop instead of the Galaxy phone you have.. and when you do that.. you are right....

Well comparing the sales of Andriod vs. the sales of Apple from a stock standpoint would be rather difficult. Considering that Apple makes the OS and the Hardware therefore reaps all the profits of the phone sales and Google only hadnles the OS portion of it while many manufaturers make the handsets that run the OS. Many manufaturers are reaping the benefits fo the phone sales while google is mostly making its money off of the advertising. Maybe I'm wrong but in this particular conversation there is no fair way to actually compare the 2 companies because of drastically different business models in the wireless element of the companies.

Having said all of that... Google stock is currently trading at $626.79 as I write this. Again I'm not a genius when it comes to stock but I'd say thats pretty good, no?

very informative. much respect...

i cant really get mad at a company for "making money" honestly... we go to a mobile store they say "you can upgrade to an iphone for $199" i buy that phone then leave. sure i helped them reach that $400 billion mark but i'm satisfied as well... if i was a cell phone service provider then i would be definitely uneasy about reading this article.

you create a company to make money (first) while providing service right?

Google has a brilliant marketing strategy as well... getting into the cell phone industry is very profitable... $626.79 is damn good! lol
