iPad Mini Should Drive Apple to $1001: Top Analyst

**darthsinatra** · 07-05-2012, 01:55 PM

iPad mini is just rumor at this point. I will believe it when I see it. And then I will buy it.

1. New iPad mini
2. iPhone 5
3. Apple TV
4. iPhone to China Mobile

At 9x earnings, Apple is "basically the same" as every other company.

And now iPad sales in China. I still don't even see the "conservative" goal of 750 by January, let alone 1000. I'll be happy with 650-700. That'll pay for the car I just bought. Mmm, Audi engine.

UC prediction: 9/13 Apple stock tumbles as the markets wake up and realize Apple hasn't produced a new iPhone in 2 years (iPhone 4s was the same phone + a bump in speed) and the 'innovations' of the iPhone 5 are less than the Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3. The iPad Mini is a good idea, but isn't it just going to cannibalize it's own market?

643 -- will likely meet or exceed its all time high today.

I'd like to thank the ghost of Steve for paying for my new car.

Apple TVs are in full production btw with deals with AT&T U-verse and Verizon FiOS announcements pending Sep 12th conference. Cable boxes with Apple software will be available for Xfinity customers, too.

Sep 12 = Apple TV, Apple Cable Box, iPad Mini, iPhone 5.

For those looking for a nice little grab, I just bought up a couple thousand shares of Nokia.

"LOL, Nokia!?"

They're still a huge brand in Europe and about to release a new line of Windows 8 phones. They're below $3/s right now, down from wayyyy higher a little over a year ago due to Samsung and HTC raping them. They're due for a comeback. Stock pays a decent dividend for a tech. They should at least get back to $10 by year's end. If they still flounder, MS buys them out and your shares will be bought for probably that value. It's a nice little money grab, IMO.

Also bought up some BP stock - looking for a longer term recovery (back to the 60's or 70's by 2014). Did that mostly for the dividend and unlikelihood that the oil spill will cause further decay. Seems to have stabilized.
