It is just a hysteria when everyone starts selling off after they hear anything that sounds like a good reason - without double checking or even thinking it over. Definitely a good time to buy because I can hardly believe it will last forever. Rick, agree with you 100%.

We all know Apple positions itself as the elite and more costly option. In hard or questionable times, you purchase what will do the job. And that's not apple which is in general 2x as much as a equivalent PC... Apple computer hardware will be hit hard. Comes with the arrogance. James This is only the start.

I'll pick up some more shares at current prices, although I don't think the carnage is over. Today's vote down certainly didn't help matters overall. Everything was down. Might be a good idea to not jump back into the market until some finality is brought to the bailout proposal, and the market starts to stabilize again. AAPL will likely drop beneath $100 this week at this rate. I’m long on AAPL. I’ll pick up some more shares at current prices, although I don’t think the carnage is over.

I am long AAPL, picked up another 50 shares last week, and another 50 shares this week on the drops to $125 and $110. One thing to keep in mind -- the more marketshare Apple builds, the more their "halo effect" can take hold. Hook people in with a lower priced laptop, down the road they're buying an ipod, an apple tv, an imac, etc. They're converting their friends.
