AAPL

Water Cooler
#1

Just had a heated debate in the office about where the price will be in 10 yrs? 20 yrs? Is the growth maintainable? Is Jobs a mad man who will take it all down with him? who knows!?!

Can i have some fries with that?

Stock price in 10 years? That’s an awful long time. There could be splits, dividend initiations, acquisitions. About the best you can do is try to make a guess at total return.

i think you’d have to take a look at firm value. i doubt it can increase at the same rate as the last ten years unless then attempt to enter the b2b market or something. it seems they’re bent on consumer luxury goods which puts them at the whim of vanity. so i guess the quesiton is where will vanity be in ten years?

I was starting to feel nostalgic about the late 90’s. Thanks everyone for bringing back those memories! Can somebody say pets.com?!

Man, will there even be oil left in 20yrs to make all that cool AAPL stuff? I don’t think you can buy and hold for like 20yrs like people did in the old days, personally I think there will be a global meltdown in the next 10-20 so I value everything at $0USD past 2020.

Can somebody say pets.com?! After the LNKD IPO this is really starting to feel familiar. I wonder how many of us on here were in the biz during the dot-com bubble/bust???

Great company, love their products, would probably not buy their stock.

I don’t think luxury would be an apt description. What they are is a consumer electronics company with superior industrial design and branding which allows them to dominate their space and differentiate their products so people are willing to pay more. Kind of like Sony in the 80’s-90’s
