That's basically what inspired my article on Windows 8. Despite that I have 18 years of owning and using Apple laptops, I found the design of the Metro interface to be intriguing. A focus on design has driven many companies to success.

This is good to see. I am long MSFT, and think Win8 will be a winner.

When the head is cut off the body slowly dies.

Apple's survival will be a company that merges or buys them out.
Give it 2 years.
Long Microsoft and Intel.

The giants have awoken.

Israel is buying.

Apple could buy both Microsoft and Intel, and still have enough money left over to buy Cisco. They'll "survive" just fine.

These freaking people must be stuck in 1995 to be so stupidly bearish on AAPL.

Not if Apple's stock price drops, which is happening. Price to earnings ratio way out of line.
The big money already sold. They will buy in again for the trade only from now on.

The institutional ownership is currently 71% of the $534B market cap, or about $380B. If you consider $380 Billion invested as "big money already sold", then sure. Do you just make up statements and hope they're true? Let's try another.

P/E is way out of line? Let's take a look at some of these:

Chevron - 7.63
Microsoft - 11.79
DuPont - 14.08
IBM - 14.88
Disney - 16.01
Apple - 16.32
Johnson & Johnson - 17.51
Google - 18.07
Kraft - 19.36
Coca-Cola - 19.69
Procter & Gamble - 19.86
Netflix - 25.44
Amazon - 138.38
LinkedIn - 898.67

Well somebody should call J&J, Kraft, and Coke to let them know their P/E ratios are way, WAY out of line.

You're absolutely clueless, and you should stop giving investment advice.

Buy GE, Microsoft and Intel - they will double by 2013.
Berkshire ADDED 9 MILLION SHARES of Intel to their holdings - they own - 0 -shares of Apple.

Enjoy the dividend while you wait.

If its dividends you want, you'll be pleased to know that Apple's resumption of a dividend this summer will contribute just shy of $10B in cash to investors per year. This puts them at #2 in largest dividend in the US - closely following AT&T.

The return for an investment in AAPL for the past three months, six months, one year, five years, or ten years has outperformed a holding of equal duration for all three companies you've listed. Not only that, but Apple has a higher growth rate than any of the companies you mentioned. None of that supports the conclusion that any of those three companies are better investments than Apple.

Think of how ridiculous your statement sounds - the largest publicly-traded company in the world will face bankruptcy in two years.

Seriously?

If Cramer likes Apple, then sell. He is wrong 95% of the time.
