I find that hard to swallow.

Buy and hold AAPL.

Apple will make bigger gains in enterprise as I.T. departments seek integration and security with handsets, tablets and computers. Office 365 has essentially ceded the desk/laptop to the cloud, opening the door for Apple to make stronger gains and tighter integration. Security, integration and legacy are still big issues. But for startups and newer companies, Apple enterprise is the way to go. Reliability has been good, end-users are happy, which means lower costs and longer replacement cycles.

In less than a year, Apple will realize Microsoft's dream of cross platform integration. The information you want and need will appear seamlessly across all of your devices, blurring the lines among devices. This just means that iPhone will draw or force purchases of MacBooks for business travel, iMacs for the office, and iPads for the family.

How high will it go? I'll probably lighten up prior to next quarter's earnings or at $130. Xmas should be huge, but the blowout will be priced in. Let the stock settle with clarifications on the future of the buyback, rumors of AAPL jumping to the Dow, clarifications on iwatch (battery) specs, and ipay adoption (and profits) before adding to my position.

The darned thing just won't quit.

Apple keeps going up quietly, pretty much every single week. While there hasn't been much discussion on it these days, Jim Cramer hasn't forgotten about it.

"Apple's endless, inexorable rise is a huge underpinning of this market, and we should never forget that fact," said the "Mad Money" host.

Sure the market can get sidetracked by the noise maker stocks like Alibaba, its sidekick Yahoo, and marvel at the possibilities of Twitter. It could even be fascinated by the rally of Macy's, despite the cut in its forecast. But Apple is always there, quietly raking in the dough.

According to Cramer, the secret to Apple: You don't trade it, you own it.

Considering the fact that Apple is the largest stock in the world with a $650 billion market cap, and yet it is still up 38.5 percent year-to-date. That kind of move normally happens with a company that is being taken over, a biotech or a smaller capitalization. But the biggest company on Earth? That's epic.

Most of the stocks that Cramer follows that have had tremendous moves like Apple tend to be championed all of the way. Yet, he hasn't heard a peep out of the analysts. They simply have nothing to say! It just can't be traded.

They tried to trade it on Apple Pay, which was supposed to be a bust. That rumor was killed when every major bank and two credit card companies supported it. They tried to trade it on iPhone 6 expectations. That rumor was killed when Apple posted record sales numbers.

They traded it on alleged weak iPad numbers, lagging iTunes sales, Apple TV's lack of promise, and the wearable that was supposed to be a dude yet no one credible has even seen that happen. All of these trades were shot down by Apple, which has continued to climb.


----------------------------------------------------------
And just when you think Apple has come out with the most expensive iteration of an iPhone or an iPad, they just keep selling off in the millions. This just goes to show how unique the company really is. It is also a testament to how much money is out there will spend to buy new products.

The "Mad Money" host thinks that investors can fuss over Alibaba's trading, trash Marissa Mayer and her amazing performance at Yahoo, and tweet love about Twitter. But Cramer is going with Tim Cook and Apple, as slow and steady wins the race. That's his story, and he's sticking to it. Hang on to your Apple, folks.

Amazingly, AAPL has even weathered Island's distain. Go figure.

Hahaha!

Distain? oh, you must mean disdain. ...For AAPL? Where?

Oh, you must be confusing my disdain for the irrational exuberance from the fanboys.

Hey, when is Apple (Tim Cook) going to bring back their (your?) rainbow logo?

Hahaha! It's OK, Glenn. :D

As in any internet forum or with any TV evangelist, don't take any one person's take on an issue as gospel. Here, Stewart calls out Cramer when he enthusiastically supported a buy for Bear Sterns on national TV.

Could be AAPL is ready for a historical 10 pt. dip before it recovers and rises again.

I meant what I typed. You need a better dictionary. And the stripes on the Apple predated the rainbow symbol, AFAIK, but don't let facts get in the way.

Chip suppliers involved in the supply chain of the Apple Watch are gearing up to start production for the upcoming wearable device, according to industry sources.

Orders for chips for the Apple Watch, set to debut in early 2015, are estimated at 30-40 million units, the sources indicated.

The Apple Watch uses Apple's custom-designed system-in-package (SiP) chip, which miniaturizes an entire computer architecture onto a single chip.

What the hell are you talking about? I made no comments about the factual origins of the gay rainbow flag. I simply asked, in the context of the existing gay rainbow flag, whether Tim cook would be bringing back the rainbow apple logo.

He did recently say "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,"

To me that is pretty astonishing. I mean shouldn't he be running a company rather than interjecting his personal beliefs about God? :cool:

Anyway, he also said "I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifices of others."

Not an activist, eh? Alrighty, then...

To fabulous infinity and beyond
