    Reagan

    That is exactly the point. WHY should we have supported a dictator who unilaterally & unprovoked invaded another country??? THAT WAS WRONG. Not only wrong - it was IMMORAL! We should have condemned the invasion that ultimately caused the deaths of half a million people.

    The Republicans continually make very bad geo-political decisions and these decisions come back later to haunt us. The Taliban were NEVEER freedom-fighters. But the Reagan administration blindly ignored common sense and supported them. Now look at the mess we have to clean up. Same with Iraq.

    Like I said - republicans when faced with facts always resort to name calling. So childish!     Reply

    No shit, we "tacitly" supported Iraq during their war w/Iran. Who do you think we would support, fool? Talk about "mindless". Please, go away & go push that other empty suit, Obama to other "mindless" twits who believe your drivel..... Reply

    Reagan

    Did or did not S Hussein invade Iran in the 80's?
    Is it true or not that the Reagan admin tacitly supported Iraq at this time? (ans: Yes they did)

    These are simple facts that cannot be denied no matter how much you try to hide from them.

    Was there a financial crisis in the S&L industry during the Reagan admin? YES! Did it result ini a multi billion dollar bailout by the US tax-payers? YES IT DID.

    YOU may like giving BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to corporations to bail them out of messes that they got themselves into while the Republican appointed leaders of the regulatory agencies looked the other way or the industries were irresponsibly de-regulated. But I do NOT and most Americans are not happy with this corporate welfare - this socialism for the socialites.

    The response you right wingers always have to the truth is to try to denigrate the messenger. When you cannot argue against the facts, you pitifully disparage the sources, even when you do not know who the sources are. You just make up silly rationales for ignoring what other people say. This is inherently unpatriotic as you mindlessly turn over you thinking to those who are trying to manipulate you, such as Limbaugh, Savage, and Rove. In lock-step you march blindly forward repeating their mantra-du-jour while the country goes down the tubes.

    AAPL is one of those stocks like V where owners can not accept any commentary that does not confirm their dreamy idea that it will only go up in value. It is an object lesson to investors not to "fall in love". Check the charts guys, no stock is an unending stairway to the stars. Investing is not a faith based activity. And Seeking Alpha is not so influential that someone with a contrary point of view will move the market. Sure you are angry and disappointed that "your precious" is losing value. Don't take it out on the folks describing the story. Reply

    It's too bad that the comments on so many blogs these days always seem to turn into political rants, even when the original post had nothing to do with politics.

    It's also sad that when someone like Zach puts up a negative opinion he/she gets flamed. It's just an opinion folks. And that is what discussion is all about. If you like AAPL I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in your reasoned analysis. In fairness to readers, it would be nice for anyone stating a position to say whether they are long or short.

    I currently have no position in AAPL, although I trade it both up and down at times. It clearly has been weak recently, but I do think it is at or near support and is due for a bounce. If it does break below 145 I look for it to go down to the 115-130 area.     Reply

    Adoni, don't respond to jmmx. The guy likes to say we "cherry pick?"
    My God, you ripped him a new one & I enjoyed immensely! Just loved is weak ass attempt at trying to implicate Reagan w/Huessein. That clown probably reads The Daily Kos & Moveon.org to get his facts. What a clown. Blaming the mortgage mess on Bush.......ridiculous. That & of course he's to blame for gas prices....what a joke.     Reply

    The guys bashing short sellers or guys who come up with the idea that maybe this stock should be sold are usually self proclaiming idiots. They know little about the markets or trading and don't seem to even grasp the most basic things. For example I bet 50% or more of the short seller bashers have no clue that when there is a short sell their is a buyer on the other side, otherwise there is no transaction. Short sellers provide liquidity and the only thing they can do after selling the stock is to do nothing or buy it back. Short sellers actually provided a bullish bias if they are wrong on their thesis or their timing. To my eyes it may be little late to short sell AAPL. It was a much better sell around 175 in August, unless we have a longer term bear market. We might? Who knows? Reply

    Worthless commentary and I'd like my 4 minutes back please. Ray Charles can say that Apple is leagues ahead of new technology adoption... Windows [bleep]ta?

    Apple is the only alternative desktop computing platform that is supported.

    Good bye MS, hello Apple, get used to it while you are bent over pulling up your pants in the short term.     Reply

    Adoni -

    Please read Obama's "lipstick" quote IN context. There was NEVER any mention of Palin in the quote NOR the surrounding paragraphs. It was ALL about MccCain's policies. It is also the identical quote that McCain used referring specifically to H Clinton's policy some months ago.

    So pleae stop cherry-picking quotes then changing the context. Why is it that McCain can ralk about specifically one woman's policies yet he is NOT sexist slur, while Obama makes the identical comment - never mentions Palin - and yet that IS? GIMME A BREAK!

    As for Iraq. I agree that Hussein was a murderer and got what he deserved.

    HOWEVER - there are lots of other murderers who could fall into that category. Should we be attacking them? I think it is a bit safe, self-serving, and arrogant when WE decide that 100,000 civilian deaths, probably over a million civilian injuries, and 2 million refugees of Iraqis is a fair price for THEM to pay for freedom from their dictator. Especially when we have no evidence that the new government will refrain form doing the same - only to different set of people.

    Next - If our intention was to remove SH from power, then why didn't Bush come to the American people and say exactly that? Why did his administration have to fabricate a false justification - and the intelligence community was well aware that all the justifications had already been proven false - so why did he have to fool the American people into accepting the war? To me the answer is clear - there is no way that the American people would have signed on to such a foolhardy enterprise if we were not scared into it by false threats of WMDs.

    The American people need to learn that we are part of a world that has laws that work (perhaps imperfectly) to provide protection to all - ourselves included. WE need to respect those laws as well! We need to be part of a world of laws. Not a rogue nation that throws its weight around.

    Finally - I wish all those people who CLAIM to support the war would actually support it by:
    1- paying fro the damn thing so that the deficit does not balloon, and
    2- go over there and fight it! All these 20-30 year old guys who sit on the tailgates with yellow ribbons drinking beer while a FEW real patriots have to go for 3rd and 4th terms and we need to pay contractors $1000 / day to do the work that they refuse to do! I am sickened by these COUCH POTATO PATRIOTS!

    @squawk, I rarely pay attention to after hours trading. It's mostly noise, unless there was a significant event, like an earnings call or product announcements. Reply
