I'm frankly way more interested in RIM than in AAPL. I sold my shares a while ago at ~660 around the iPhone 5 launch. Didn't bat an eye when it hit 700. I didn't think about technicals, fundamentals, or the ridiculously stupid analyst ratings ($1000 lol). I just thought about the iPhone 5, iPad 4 and iPad mini and realized their run is done, at least until Jonny Ive comes up with something spectacular for the new iOS. Kids are starting to think iPhones are no longer cool and that is a bad, bad sign. I'm not touching AAPL until there is strong indication that they will release something new and groundbreaking.

GOOG is hard to tell. They're in so much more than the mobile arena. Very versatile company. I think they still have a ways up to go, but I haven't invested any money with them.

RIM has the most upside potential ATM. I've held a sizeable chunk of shares since it was $9 so I'm an obvious long, but I'm not gonna take profits til maybe the 29th.. and even then I'll leave half my holdings in there to see what happens on launch day.

Sorry to be another "well that was obvious" post, everyone posts the same garbage in 20/20 hindsight. "Yeah I saw that coming"... but really, this one time, I did. OK, to be fair, I made some stupidly bad tech stock calls too - predicting FB would fall to $10, NOK would completely flop after the Win8 launch and losing some money in a pump&dump penny stock (INT, classic case that I didn't see). Win some and lose some, nature of this game, especially with tech companies.
