Stock drop = No IPad

[PCClone]

My plan was to sell my AAPL stock at $300 and buy my iPad. It is dropping like crazy and down to $235.

WTF???

 

[sushi]

Not just Apple stock.

The whole market is down.

It's been like this for a couple of days, do you read the news?

Basing short-term plans on the performance of the stock market is just asking for disappointment anyways.

Yes, and it has dropped +30 in a week. I don't live in my parent's basement.

Good thing you didn't check your stock in between 2pm and 3pm ET yesterday.

Luckily I was in a meeting from 12 - 5 yesterday. Saved me from crapping myself at the office.

Hold your AAPL stock through this holiday season. You won't be sorry.

I usually buy high and sell low. Is there an app for that?

Yes but it is only able to run on the iPad.

Thanks for making me feel worse.

 

[antiprotest]

Buy the iPad now. Sell the Apple stock when it gets higher to get the money back.

Bad plan.

 

[sarcosis]

Hold the stock. Buy the iPad. Apple and the economy will get though this. Selling is what made what happened the other day far worse than it had to be. If you truly want to sell, wait until WWDC. That's when to sell. The Market should get picked up somewhat by then. (Disclaimer: I am not a stock analyst or adviser. These are just personal opinions.)

Or you can buy iPad and sell it to overseas buyers (I've stopped doing it since last week but it might be still viable).

Another way is to pray that Portugal and Spain won't be suffering the same fate as Greece. If all 3 debt agency cut Portugal and Spain's bonds to junk, there will be massive panic

I had meeting around that time yesterday and once I came back my IM is flooded from my friends

This is fantastic news!!!

Hopefully the stock will fall on Monday also so I can finally invest

I want to be able to buy a mac using apple stock profits.

 

[Dillenger]

Yeah, it's killing me too considering I bought in when it was around $14.00.

 

[0101001]

I bought it just under 80.00 was lucky enough to put 100k into it.

It's shed nearly $40 off its recent highs, so I wouldn't get greedy and wait too long if I were you.

 

[rasputinj]

You should have sold at $270 that is what I did. I would argue that if you have to sell Apple stock at $300 to afford an iPad then you probably can't afford it. Stock market is like gambling you have to know when to cash in.

Just wait for the stock to hit the bottom of the valley and then buy more.

Just wait for the stock to hit the bottom of the valley and then buy more.

And then don't forget to sell at the peak!

Wow...I can see we've got some expert traders in this thread.

Its not about being an expert, its about common sense. Which is why I just made a 52% return on Palm stock in just 20 days.
