If you're looking for a long term investment, then I don't think anyone's missed the boat. In the long run, buying in a few months late won't affect you much right now. IMO Apple is pretty much guaranteed to double in value when the economy returns to normal, so if I had a spare $20,000 I wouldn't mind putting it into the company, if they pulled off another iPod effect on their stock then all the better.
