I just scalped using AAPL (Apple Inc) options yesterday and made a quick profits during the iPad announcement.
As a new iPhone user, I must say this blog post is inevitable and let me share more with you.
After all, yesterday night (my Singapore time) is THE DAY they announced their new tablet computer, the iPad, that’s supposed to take the world by storm. Just like you, I’m excited by all the hype and the buzz.
But hype alone does not necessarily make for a great investment. Should you be buying Apple stock before the company sells the first iPad?
My take is as follows:
Because I would normally warn mid-to-long term investors away from buying any stocks when new products are being announced.
After all, they are often unproven and even in Apple’s case there are no guarantees that the iPad is going to be a winner. Except for this name: Steve Jobs.
Since he’s returned to Apple more than a decade ago, he’s the only CEO on the planet with a vision and a golden touch, recently named the CEO of the Decade by Fortune magazine.
His previous visions had created the iPod, iMac, and iPhone – the key drivers in Apple’s $12 billion first-quarter revenue.
His newest stroke of genius will follow in their footsteps. The reason is simple: Job’s iPad is about to take the world by storm and double your money along the way.
If you think Apple’s iMac, iPod, and iPhones were revolutionary products, you haven’t seen anything yet: Apple’s iPad is going to deliver a profit explosion the likes of which the computer world has never seen before with this new Apple tablet computer – large iPod-like touch screen, full color e-book reader that will definitely hit the sales of Kindle all in this four-in-one convergence device (Internet, TV, music and e-book reader).
