Back in the days when we ate street vendor Greek salads, I was popular because I'd always give my Feta allocation to someone else.
To this day, despite loving yogurt, I don't quite get the Greek yogurt craze. Wouldn't be the first time that "it's just me."
But you're right about the markets. We're in the same situation, although I've been at it full time for only about 4 years. Rational thought processes are gone. Just when you think you have it figured out, such as taking a contrarian view of a contrarian view, you're one derivative ahead or behind.
Speaking o the picture, I posted a real picture of me on Twitter last week and a follower responded that I looked just like the avatar. He was too polite to mention that the real me had more grey.
I made both the mistake and one of the4 best decisions ever to post a couple of articles on APple. Since they were reasonably critical, I got a fair number of very impassioned comments.
If you think Cramer is a form of religion, the Apple people are his match. I mentioned in one comment that I was thinking of doing an article "Cramer, Apple and Killing Puppies" or something like that, just to bring out the comments.
I think you're right, there's a lot of passion on both sides of the coin. The problem is that passion is a bad thing when it comes to making investment decisions. Love him and you'll make errors of commission, hate him and you'll commit errors of omission.
Seems that way to me as well. However, I did look up the evolutionary attributes of "New Superhumans" and they seem to have lost the ability to count, but have highly tuned senses of conspiracy.

Thanks, of course I did have some explaining to do to relatives as far as some of the stories went. I used the concept of "fictional autobiography" to buy some reprieve.

It doesn't take very much. Amazon and others have self -publishing options. All you have to do is find a way to promote your book. It's not terribly hard.

Cook may have an understanding that product alone may no longer drive stock appreciation. With so much hype around Apple TV, even assuming that it is a consumer home run, what next? At some point evolution of the existing product line creates a commodity. Cook may very well be preparing Apple for its next phase as a company, which may be simply being like other companies.

Most IPOs are a lesson in why its better to not invest out of the gate, if you take that to mean once the open market trading starts. But recent history, other than for Facebook, strongly suggests that getting in on the action before the gate opens is very rewarding.
The difference was that with the Facebook IPO individual investors had a chance to play. It's easy to say "better not invest in IPOs" because that opportunity doesn't come around very often for what are thought to be hot issues.
Based on past history, it was a sure fire way to create profits, so who wouldn't want that opportunity if offered?

There's a compliment in there somewhere, I think.

I've checked my Rules and Regulations and Major League Baseball doesn't allow a pinch runner while caught in a run down.
