MacNN News

Apple shares jump to new 4-year high

updated 12:30 pm EST, Mon November 22, 2004

Apple shares up 16-percent

Shares of Apple Computer on Monday, to their highest level in more than 4 years, after a Wall Street analyst nearly doubled his price target on the stock, Reuters is reporting. "Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster raised his 12-month price target to $100 from $52, citing a survey conducted by his firm showing that Apple's popular iPod digital music players are helping boost sales of its signature Macintosh computers." In a research note, Munster said that a survey of 200 iPod users in the US found that 6 percent were formerly PC users who had bought a Mac after purchasing their iPod, while another 7 percent said they planned to buy a Mac in the future. A second analyst, Robert Cihra, of Fulcrum Global Partners, also boosted his target price on Monday to $65, up from $53.

Not bad ...

... for good old beleaguered Apple Computer.

That's OK, though - they'll be out of business in a few weeks. Everyone knows they're really going under like they have been for the past 20 years. :-)

bad at everything

Apple has been going out of business for over 20 years now, and yet still can't close the deal! Morons! At this point, perhaps it is best that they set more reasonable goals, like becoming the #1 computer and music player company in the world. One down, one to go ;)

Biased analyst!

Yeah, I am so emotionally traumatized by this Apple going out of business c*** that everytime there is some kind of financial news I have to drag out this dead horse and beat it.

These analysts are so biased.

bandwagon punks

Yeah it's amazing how many places want to get in on the bandwagon of Apple.... making accessories and such... yet just a couple years ago these same companies were bad mouthing Apple.. *aka HP*... I bet I could find the announcement when they said they would no longer make Apple printers because Apple was no longer viable. Then the iMac came out, and they wanted back in... and sure enough started with the USB HP printers with support..... too late... never another HP printer here.... NEVER

HP & Apple...

Funny both OS-X 10.1/2 & my HP Officejet have been two of the most exasperating coputer experiences since PowerTalk (so you know I'm a long time power user) - so much so that I bought a PC, which has been surprisingly good - if Apple could improve some of the lesss glamourous aspects such as accounting & contact/data management I'd be a lot happier...

BTW it looks like the new officejets don't support Mac?

That being said my own 'research' conforms what is being reported, and hopefully 10.4 will finally offer data management & compatibility that won't drive PC users back whence they came...

What! You mean a company makes decisions based on viability of a platform? That's just ludicrous! Didn't they know they had to support the Macintosh no matter how badly the company was being run and how few computers it was selling? And then when Apple announces a new computer with a focus on the consumer, an actual indication the company has an idea and is going with it, they dared try to re-enter the market. Man, what a bunch of idiots must have run HP in those days.

Keep in mind that there were two key things that Apple did after bringing in Jobs that kept them afloat. They announced and released the iMac, and they inked that deal with MS to keep Office around for 5 years. That showed investors, and, more importantly, developers, that Apple was serious about the consumer side (iMac), and that, with MS Office, the mac was still viable as an office computer. Its what turned around their incredibly large losses.

Heck

I am still made that HP discontinued support for AmigaOS, a viable OS.

Never a HP printer for me to.

yeah

We are talking a large company that looked at bottom dollar.... which is fine, it's their money.... but for those of us that already had bought HP products, and now find out they won't be supporting us... well can't you see where that might piss a few people off. Epson stepped up to the plate with the 777 model... a rough start, average printer, but they have always had great support.. there are companies out there that have stayed in through the thick and thin of Apple... we all know who they are, and I continue to buy their products.. they stayed with the "not so viable" company... and cared more about their customers then about their future bottom dollar.. HP I think just bailed a little premature... you have all the right to buy HP products. I stuck with Apple thru the years, I can't see why a large company like HP couldn't.. how hard was it to really make a driver for apple... geesh.

Where were these a*******

with their "outperform" ratings back in 1994? Huh? Now that Apple is doing good they share their "vision" about the share price.

From another perspective, it's pretty sad that these guys, after all the financial industry scandals and the internet bubble, still have the power to drive a stock price up or down. Pathetic sheep, that's what most buyers and sellers are.

you guys are on crack

Hey if you want to run an hp printer just set up a print server for it and print from OSX. you guys are a bunch of complete nuckleheads.. also then the printer is shared on your network and can be accessed from any machine.

i got a 30$ print server hooked up to my laserjet 2200 and it works great. on my pc's i had to install some drivers for it.. on osx it just worked.

go figure.

printer..

I didn't say I couldn't get one to work.. I know many of them work fine.. I do remember the 2.0 drivers they had for their printers... would take system memory away until your machine was slower than an LCII. THAT was a nightmare they soon hope to forget...

Don't Fall For FAKE RALL

THE LATEST RALLY IS JUST A CASE OF STEVE JOBS CALLING IN A FAVOR FROM ONE OF HIS INVESTMENT ANALYST FRIENDS.

iPOD IS SIMPLY MAKING UP FOR APPLE'S LOST COMPUTER BUSINESS WHICH EVERYONE AGREES HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, (WHY BY MAC OS X WHEN YOU CAN GET LINUX OR SOME OTHER UNIX VARIANT FOR FREE, WHICH RUNS ON EVERY MACHINE ON THE PLANET).

iPOD IS NOT GOING TO SAVE APPLE EITHER. IT IS GOING TO HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS, THEN THE MARKET IS GOING TO GET SATURATED QUICKLY WITH BOTH iPODS AND OTHER SUPERIOR MP3 PLAYERS FROM iRIVER, VIRGIN, ETC.

HERE IS ANOTHER REASON WHY THE ARTIFICIAL RALLY WAS TRIGGERED:
Multiple Racism-related Complaints continue to be filed against Apple Computer

ANOTHER REASON NOT TO BUY AN IPOD...

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has received multiple complaints from Employees of Apple Computer regarding on-going Racial Segregation, Racial harassment, and Discrimination carried out by other employees and managers at Apple Computer in Cupertino California.

Among the allegations (dating back both before, and after September 11, 2001),

[B]1) Racially Motivated threats of bodily harm, and harassment made by Apple Employees against minorities.

2) Apple Managers instructing White employees to isolate and segregate non-Whites, ethnic minorities, etc.

3) Termination of employment as a result of Racial retaliation against Asians, Middle Easterners, Blacks, and others.

4) Employee usage of Apple's employee and customer information databases to forward personal information about racial minorities to White Supremacists located outside of the company, in both the United States and Canada.[/B]
The allegations also point to Apple Computer's highly coordinated efforts between its Human Resources department, headed by Dan Walker, and managers in various departments at the company's Cupertino headquarters, to process complaints from victims by posing as third party "Employee Relations" personnel. Through this technique, Apple has stolen evidence from victims and used that evidence to help it's White Supremacist employees destroy and erase evidence such as E-mails etc.

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) keeps records of racial discrimination in the work place, and sometimes independently pursues legal action against offending entities. California Law requires victims of Racial Discrimination to file a complaint with it, prior to commencing any legal action against offending employers.
Segregation, retaliation, and racially motivated terminations by employers are all illegal in California.

Among those named in the complaints are the following people:
