Not that it matters 'cause it was play money.

But a year ago I invested $100k, most of it in to these three stocks:

Ford (F) ~$50k
Allegheny Technologies (ATI) ~$30k
Caterpillar (CAT) ~$10k

YTD, I'm +101% on F, +45% on ATI, and +55% on CAT.

Crap reporting.

1)Apple has NEVER made any official announcements of a CDMA iphone.

3)Another stupid rumor is that the fabled CDMA Iphone is for Sprint, NOT Verizon.

VZ is booming because of their FIOS services. They are spending a boat ton of money putting in fiber networks all over the country, and are stealing marketshare left and right.

If you buy VZ because of the iphone...I have bad news for you....

GOOG - Wow. Out of the park grand slam on earnings yesterday. It's not often that you see stocks trading +$60 pre-market on an earnings surprise.

Andrew
All this and GoogleTV isn't even out yet. Look for GOOGLE to gain another $100 next year.

To the Apple posts...

You would be crazy to sell off Apple now IMHO. They have become the second largest company in the world, and have JUST NOW caught up to their iphone orders. Apple is a juggernaut that is unstoppable...at least in the near future. Apple has no competitors. People just don't care. It doesnt matter that there are other tablets, other music players, and other laptops. People want an Ipad, an Ipod, an Iphone, and a Macbook.

Mac is the new "tylenol." Car manufacturers are developing their GUIs to SPECIFICALLY work with iphones and ipods. Hundreds of companies are making products to work with Apple's products. Apple makes more money in the appstore alone than most companies make annually. The most profitable retail store in the world is Apple 5th ave NYC, at 400 million a year+++. If the white Iphone comes out christmas, they will be at $400 shortly after the new year.

The mobile/embedded chip designers ARMH and MIPS have also been really hot recently. I think MIPS in particular has a lot of room to the upside as they are just starting getting into smart phone CPUs now.

Andrew
[pattingselfonback] MIPS is up 100% since I posted this less than 2 months ago. After a blowout earnings report last night, the stock was up 33% today alone. [/pattingselfonback]

Andrew - who is having a very good day today

Why not ride it out.. and see if it drops a steady 1-2% for a couple days, sell half, and ride out the other half.

Take some $$ while you've made it
