MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Go AAPL Go!

MDN touts a journalist who is promoting Best Buy?

Oh, I see. He's promoting Apple so the hated retailer who puts Macs off in the corner (if at all) and dresses their clueless clerks in the ridiculed blue shirts is now OK by association. Huh?

Oh my god. First post. My mom will be so proud.

Salad day's, here we come!!!

But Kramer said not to

I'm sure Apple is posititoned for a great 2008, after the recession that is.

Sorry. :(

Where's the guy to tell us to stop cheering for AAPL? Since everyone here obviously takes their investing advice from a Mac forum, well all need to be careful and throw in smatterings of negativity from time to time.

Brown 30 GB Zune in Nr. 1 bestselling spot at Amazon:

Ahead of iPod....

I truely don't believe places like that web application marketshare website. I have 5 Macs that I still use. They don't even use the internet, so how are they counted?

I think Apple has at least 8-10 percent right now.

The brown Zune is $98.

At that price i'd pick one up as a cheap portable hard drive. (But still woudn't use it as a PMP out in public)

so who cares if MSFT decides to give them away.....

Re: Arrrgh!!!! Brown Zune

Looks like the only way to sell this POS is to offer big discounts!

Percentages are just estimates. I can honestly say that I've seen more people buy macs, and I know people who are planning to buy mac their next computer.

I know where I live most people have no idea what a mac is, once they see my computer they are blown away. I think has the percentage goes up the rate of people switching will go up. I honestly think apple will be between 12- 15% market share by 2009.

More drum beating by the stock brokers who make their money thrashing the market. They don't care if you buy or sell, they make money either way.

The author states Best Buy is a stock to buy. He states it's trading "25% below last year's peak."

A Google check states it is currently trading at 46.97. The 52 week high is 56.69 and 52 week low is 41.85. That's not quite 25%.

@wall street guy
"The brown Zune is $98."

You must be going to a different Amazon website - mine says brown Zune for $127.95"
Nr. 10 - 30 GB black Zune for $139.99

Nr. 12 on the list is 80 GB Zune for §249

Your mom is shaken at your faith in yourself... thou may only be worthy of "first post" if thou dost herald "first post!!!" within that very post itself.

The Best Buy around the corner from my place has a huge, black wall with a giant, glowing glass Apple, and brown tables all around it with inlayed flat screens and product demos set up, lots of software, accessories, etc, and the people who work there actually try to sell them over the PCs. Has hell frozen over...?

mw: side - as in, "Come on in, it's better away from the dark side..."

Mr. Motley has it right, that AAPL has great prospects. But it seems that the U.S. dollar is decline, so Apple is faced with potentially higher manufacturing costs as Chinese currency could increase overnight, plus cost increases as labour and other costs increase there, while Apple's revenues are mostly in US dollars. The model of manufacturing overseas works well as long as the U.S. currency holds up...plus there is the business of sub prime paper, where banks acknowledge 25% of their problem with 75% of the write downs yet to come, etc...so it is the market, not AAPL, that has dim prospects with currency questions overshadowing it all...Is the Fool right? Hairy days ahead even for AAPL. Unfortunately. Comments?

That zune was certainly $98 when it hit the top spot.

Recent user comment:
"The service on Amazon was excellent (as usual) and I received my zune 30gig the day after I ordered it. For 100 bucks it's definitely worth it."

I think the new Zunes look nice. Who knows, maybe MS will keep plugging away until they get a decent setup. It's possible.

One, the MotleyFool guys are NOT "stockbrokers". They're not even stock analysts in the traditional sense, because they don't make markets in the stocks they talk about. That is, they don't do any underwriting business for those companies.

And to Hairy, while the USD is declining, most of Apple's mfring costs are in USD. The suppliers are taking the forex currency risk. Remember, China is still mostly pricing in USD for export mfring. The other thing to consider, is that Apple has decent international sales, with favorable forex conversions. If anything, Apple, has benefitted from the USD's decline.

It's all in the innovation. Nobody does it better.

Why y'all keep misspellin AAPL? It's "Aple."

If a person doesn't have the capacity that we all want that person to have, I suspect hope is in the far distant future, if at all.
