Marketing and all things related

Apple's stock relies upon hype.

When the iPhone was announced it shot up to around 94/95 if I remember correctly.

I shorted it and it went to about 84/85.

Same thing is going to happen.

Since the recent stock market activity related to blog news - how much do you think future blog news reports will affect Apple's stock price?

I have to agree with you that Apple's recent jump is probably short-lived regardless of how well the iPhone does. I do find it interesting how much impact blogs have on the world lately. From books to stocks and everything in-between, it seems like the blogosphere touches everything. This should have a significant impact on marketing strategies, and I don't think companies are really considering it in their marketing plans yet. I'll have to write a post about this topic in the near future. It definitely warrants further discussion!

Regarding other comment, Writing a Blog about Blogs would be interesting... but somewhat a paradox. Concerning the I phones entrance to the information age; is gonna be an interesting to say the least. But personally I think the smart investor is not going to pay attention to the Direct affects of the IPHONE, the smart investor is going to try to find the Indirect affects of new Marvel...

Ben, writing a blog about blogs, something you and I both just did. The paradox continues...Actually reading all this made me write my first blog. Yes, I'm giving my blog virginity to all of you blog whores. So I'll be brief so you know I'm being honest:-)
As a small investor I'm selling half of my unexciting stocks to buy AT&T, its up already a lot over the past year but they are becoming a multiple threat. Borat, "I LIKE!" Was it as good for you as it was for me?
