Comments on: Earnings Season Strategies http://thecuriousinvestor.com/2007/10/13/earnings-season-strategies/ A stock market and investing blog for the curious Tue, 08 Dec 2009 07:09:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: mhatzi5786 http://thecuriousinvestor.com/2007/10/13/earnings-season-strategies/comment-page-1/#comment-6038 mhatzi5786 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 05:47:43 +0000 http://thecuriousinvestor.com/2007/10/13/earnings-season-strategies/#comment-6038 I think you should definitely hold onto Apple, the stock is on the rise and in the past week came close to breaking 52-week heighs. I dont see Apple, becoming stagnant or dipping due to earnings. On the contrary wouldnt be suprised to see this stock break the $190-200 mark after expected good fourth quarter earnings are predicted. Like you mentioned the iPod and iPhone are tremendous sellers, AppleTV im still a little sceptical about, but i dont see it being a bust on company earnings. However, the Apple stock has had a tendency to fluctuate a bit based on rumors and investor speculation. However, as a stockholder these fluctuations should be expected, and not be seen as an indication to pull out of your position. There has been rumors of a possible Apple spit as well, but wouldnt bank on it. Just like Google, there is an inherent confidence an investor feels about a high priced stock that Apple wouldnt jeopardize with a hasty stock split allowing further speculation on the stock. All in all sorry for the long post, but see Apple as surpasing earnings, breaking 52-week highs if not moving into the $200s ALL before significant loses.

As an investor I agree that Apple valuation may be a little pricy BUT Apple is an innovator. They have proven their status by successfully launching great products and sustaining the momemtum. Again there needs to be significant committment to Apple's future prospects before one invests in Apple. I would wait for a dip before getting into Apple.

Earnings season is exciting and the action is very unpredictable. I think having some cash on hand going into earnings season is a good move so that you can react as the news moves.
