Freeport McMoRan: Let The Shareholders Vote [View article]
The culture inside the board at many companies needs to change. They often forget who they represent and it is very difficult for activist shareholders to make their voice heard.
I understand that you feel my target is unrealistic but I think 15 is quite reasonable given the points I've made. I've seen 40 in my career and don't think I will see that again anytime soon.

A lot of what you say is true and I mention it in the article. The reliable number from my perspective is the Jobless claims not the rate of unemployment. I agree that many of the unemployed have dropped off the rolls. Much of our unemployment is structural.
The jobless claims are pretty current. People generally file for unemployment insurance right away. That trend is down.
Let's hope 2012 is a better year especially for the unemployed.

Jason,
The Fed's actions are a form of QE 3. Some would even say it is the beginning of a series of coordinated moves. We have organic growth here just isn't robust.

Dialectical Materialist,
"This is still a great company and should continue to innovate for years, but it is NOT and WILL NOT be the hyper growth company of years gone by"
The above is the last line of my article. Nothing I have said implies that I think Apple is about to collapse. If that were true I would sell my remaining position and get short. Many analysts and for that matter some in the room seem to agree that Apple's growth rate will slow.
The real disagreement is: "What does this mean for the Stock Price?" Most here and most on the street believe that the price momentum will continue as before. I obviously have taken a different point of view.

Daugherty, We don’t seem to know who you are. You have chosen to lurk in the shadows. You have no Bio. No followers and it doesn’t appear that you have ever written anything. You claim to be some self proclaimed expert on Apple capable of judging the work of others when you haven’t produced anything on your own.
Most everything I do comes under public scrutiny. I publish several times a week on the Belpointe Website. I only occasionally share the work here on Seeking Alpha. When I make a recommendation on TV or the Press millions get to view my successes and failures. I am a professional money manager who puts real money behind what I say and do.
You want to criticize my work and my investment ideas fine. If you are going to call me DISHONEST then have the decency to come out of your cave and let us see who the accuser is. My name is David Nelson and I am the Chief Strategist of Belpointe Asset Management in Greenwich CT. I am in the phone book. You of course are not.

That's funny. I usually get confused with Dave Nelson from the New Riders. Talked to some of my old bandmates from David Johansen and Nektar yesterday. Most are still making albums or out on tour.

Daugherty,
Many of the top money managers in the world are anlaysts or were at one time. In addition many like myself are also Chartered Financial Analysts. To disparage an entire industry of hard working educated professionals seems foolish at best.

Even if it turns out we were early on our call it is still wrong. We've moved on.

I don't mind the use of caps but your point is well taken. It was meant for emphasis only. Not to be rude.
We can only talk about the past as fact. Whenever I am speaking about the future it is of course an opinion. I believe that is understood.

I haven't disparaged any of them. They think the stock will be between 500 and 700 in the next 12 months and I disagree. As always time will tell.
