The New IPad Is Here!

Finally I’m getting my IPad!  It was almost a year ago when I said to members on Dec 30th : " AAPL just announced a deal to do Ebooks on IPhones and ITouch and that is the intermediate step towards the IPad , which should be a 2-3x size version of the IPhone that takes the place of a Kindle or a laptop or a notepad or …" At the time AAPL was trading at a paltry $86 a share and we were BUYBUYBUYing.  The context of that chat comment was AAPL had been under attack on the Steve Jobs health concerns and Jim Cramer was "fomenting" a rumor that AAPL was going to issue a warning on Q4 , which I referred to as " typical pre-holiday BS ….   Day before a holiday, little chance of getting a confirmation or denial from AAPL as key execs aren’t reachable.
