Damn, Apple (aapl) is getting hammered after hours (down 11.2% to $147.98 right now.) They reported earnings today. Looked good to me, but I guess Wall St. didn't like their guidance for next quarter. If I believed in the market at all and had extra cash I would be buying in the morning.

$200 buy 2009, $300 by 2011

I don't know about $300 - that would be an insane market cap. But I could imagine $200 in 2009 no problem (assuming the market doesn't collapse as a whole, and that Steve Jobs stays healthy - some pretty big assumptions.) I see Notebook and iPhone(/iPod) market share driving the increase. $152.31 right now.

Steve just has to be careful not to fuck up.

Ouch. I don't see it happening to aapl though, unless it's just following the whole market down.
Apple doesn't have a juggernaut of a competitor like Intel, and their hit products (iPods/iPhone) aren't just crap they got lucky with (Razr.)
Standard disclaimer applies: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Closed at $162. Should have jumped.

Light introductory NYTimes article on the fascinating subject of
high frequency trading. It's not mentioned in the article but I've read that ~70% of all trades in equity markets are made by these computer programs. There is a real worry about the stability of markets given this situation. And the story of Goldman possibly front running the market is very interesting.
