So how real are these predictions of Apple stock at $1000? When can we expect to see that?

Cody Word, an long term experienced trader of Apple and other stocks is predicting that Apple stock will hit the $1000 figure by 2015 and an interesting topic that has been rolled about is that Apple will issue a dividend, perhaps as high as 2%. That is substantial.

Today we also ready that Samsung is a major supplier for Apple parts, this can be a good thing or could be bad for future, considering that the two companies are doing business together but at the same time there are lawsuits taking place. So could this be a case of keeping your enemy close?  Samsung has perhaps the most to gain by building products that will compete against Apple, but Samsung is not Apple and doesn’t have the software, iOS built to compete against Apple, not even close yet.

This could change quickly as Samsung is a huge company, perhaps a closer relationship with Google or Microsoft could move this along quicker or not.
