First the bad news. The big announcement from Steve Jobs didn’t come yesterday so Apple fell off in the afternoon. Last Thursday I sold some Crocs to liquidate in order to buy more Apple on Friday in prep for yesterday’s announcement. I was really hoping we would hear something crazy about Leopard, like that it will run Windows Apps natively. We didn’t get that. All we got on that front is that Boot Camp is now embedded in the OS. What else did we get? Safari can now run on Windows….meh. Also, a bunch of upgrades to the OS that the guys from Engadget seemed to enjoy…I still don’t have my Mac lingo down, so I am not really sure what it all means. I am not worried. One bad day…if I had more cash I would have bought more on the pullback. So the stock closed down $4.30 from $126.00 (-3.45%) which leaves me with an overall gain on Apple of 4.27%.

Now the good news! Crocs got an analyst upgrade yesterday! That coupled with the split coming this week, sent the stock skyrocketing! The stock soared up and held, closing at $90.97 for a $4.41 gain (+5.09%). Which means, as of this morning I have an 18.91% gain on the stock! Gotta love those “ugly” rubber shoes! This stock is now up 273% this year! Wish I had gotten in earlier!
