Stepping back from the market's short-term volatility, Apple's "software roadmap" event Thursday spoke volumes about the company's very bullish long-term outlook.

First, Apple's liscensing of Microsoft's ActiveSync technology is a big step in the iPhone's war with Research In Motion for corporate customers.

Second, the $100 million iFund from Kleiner Perkins to be used for future iPhone software development is a huge vote of confidence in the iPhone.

Third, and arguably most important, Silicon Valley legend John Doerr saying the iPhone could be bigger than the PC is an incredible statement about the product's potential.

Again, short-term trading is a crapshoot, but Apple shares seem to have a found a floor around $120 and the long-term view looks very good.

Anyone agree with the last statement they made that it seems to have found a floor and can only move up from here?

Good points. The fundamentals are strong for Appl, but the market sentiment is low. Bad economy = less people buying "nice/cool to have" items like an iPhone.

I am planning to wait until next earnings season's writedowns from banks and get all that bad news out of the way. I will probably jump into Apple after their next earnings release to get the best bang for my hard earned cash.

Well I got out of my apple yesterday and today for about 6.50 per share profit. Needless to day it was not what I was expecting, but the market doesn't look that strong. It was only 200 shares so it really wasn't a big deal either way.

^^good move. Market didnt look too strong today after yesterday's rally. Anything Fed induced usually doesnt last too long. The fundamental market needs to rally by itself without any intervention, then its a true sign of change.

so what do you guys think now that AAPL has climbed its way back up to 145? I obviously regret getting out at 125 now, but like everyone else, i was afraid it would drop even lower. the market was in bad shape then.

my question is, is it a good idea to get in now? or did i miss the train. most people believe the long term prospects are great but what if the market reenters another pessimistic mood and the price pulls back a bit. is waiting for a better entry point the right move to make?

The good opportunity to go long has most likely passed. Basically we are in no man's land right now. It is too early to tell if this is a resumption of the longer term uptrend, or a retracement of shorter term downtrend.

AAPL closed that gap and moved above its 50 day moving averages. Its coming out of the right side of a long base and should pullback here and than kick ass.

Logged Out thanks for sending me that private profinaty message relating to the Black Monday thread I opened/posted over 12months ago. Maybe you should follow you own advice and not post on ET if you don't like what is posted.

p.s. Some folks have no sense of humor.
