Nefarious986, many of us here are x-Ferrari owners. We got fed up with all the BS and egos, and decided to just buy a better car.

We took the proceeds of our sale and put about $15K in the bank for future RMS and IMS issues, and with the rest bought Apple stock, oil futures and Euros.

Who's laughing now?

They report on Friday July 18th. One analyst just raised the target to $150 or something. Those analysts are usually never bearish enough or not bullish enough. If they beat numbers and report higher guidance You'll be on a 50% gain within a year.

I invested some spare change in Apple last year. I should have bought more, because it's increased by 40%. It's at $170 right now, and the year end estimate is $200-220.

Lot of pressure on the iPhone right now. We will have to see how much of blackberry's sales are diverted to Apple. If I had the money I would def. buy some Apple stock or some future options on it, especially if it keeps getting these great reviews "best phone ever!"

If you want some money in 3-5 years you can try investing in Financial Service stock...

I have played a lawyer for 27 years.

When you are young and starting out and work for someone, you get the weird stuff. A friend of the boss.

100 years ago.

Client said his white Ford was missing from the work parking lot at the end of the work day. He called the police to report it stolen, who said it was towed for not making the loan payments.

Problem was, he had no loan. Towed the wrong car out of a parking lot. All those white Fords look the same.

I do not remember how that case ended up. I think I sued the tow company for conversion and settled.
