This is a serious opinion piece? It reads like the kind of crap one would find on a Yahoo message board, where it seems like traders and unspecified "big boys" are all always on the verge of some huge coordinated market manipulation, or so the nitwits there tell us. Did SA's editors all quit or something? ReplyApple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets [view article]

I'm with you jmmx. Your well informed statements are appreciated. "Reagan" is completely out-of-touch with reality. ReplyApple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets [view article]
Every time AAPL goes up, its good news about AAPL.Every time AAPL goes down, there is no news about AAPL, its something like Bear Stearns or Lehman or oil prices or somebody just making stuff up.
As long as consumers are still buying Apple stuff by the truckload, eventually rationality will take hold and there will be some nice returns in the stock. Let the momentum traders have their moment. You can splash the water around all you want, but if the water is rising, you can't hold back the flood.
Personally, I don't much believe in momentum. To believe in that would imply that you think that prices have mass. ;-) Reply

adoni1- I never called McCain a war monger
2- Her support of the Iraq war is precisely why I did not support HC
You are trying to avoid responsibility once again - this time for the Mortgage crisis. You are trying to pass all the blame onto the home buyers. But the truth is that most of them were sold a bill of goods by loan agents who encouraged them, many with false or misleading promises. In the end, these financial institutions made loans to people who deserved them, but did not have the capacity to repay them under the given terms. Would YOU have made a similar loan to some of these people? I don't think so. Yet the banks did so when they should not have. Period. There USED to be regulations that prevented this kind of thing, but they either were thrown out or ignored by the Republican admin. Period. All the ensuing foreclosures would then be only the problem of the borrowers, the banks and their share holders, except that :
1- Many of the loans were deceptively packaged and marketed to other institutions and the public, and
2- Now all free-market, laissez-faire types have come to the taxpayers with their hands out say "help me, help me!"
3- In any case - the irresponsible frenzy was so great, that it is taking the whole economy down with it. (Witness this article).
As for Iraq - nobody claims Hussein was a fine fellow. But if he was so terrible, then why did the Reagan Admin - along with Mr Rumsfeld - support his invasion of Iran? And while we are on the subject of Pres. Reagan, why on earth did he ever call the Taliban "Freedom Fighters" Fact is - if we did not support them, then perhaps 9/11 never would have happened! And yes - there WERE people AT THE TIME who questioned the wisdom of supporting these extremists.
As for Iran ready to take over Iraq... what planet do you live on?? I thought the rightwing line was that Hussein - just before the US invasion - sent all the WMDs to Iran. now you tell me if we did not invade then Iran would have??? pleeeeeease!
The poinit is - if we had not invaded Iraq nothing terrible woullld have happened, 100,000 Iraqi citicens would still be alive, we would not have provided al qaeda with the greatest recruiting/training ground they could have hoped for, 4000 american GIs would not be dead and thousands more wounded, we would not have lost the trust of so many of our friends and allies, we would have saved $1 trillion, and we could have concentrated on Afghanistan and just maybe have captured Bin Laden.
Two things sure - Hussein did not have any weapons of mass destruction, and Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11.

The dotcom bubble was a thing of the market place, the Clinton admin had nothing to do with promoting it. Additionally, the public did not have to dish out scores of billions of dollars to bail it out. The mortgage crisis is a total failure of the regulatory system that SHOULD have protected against such a thing, Bush again (and all of congress) are play around here, as the bill for all this will not come due until next year (or even later) and it will be huge. In fact - there were many who DID come to the Bush administration several years ago warning about the already ballooning crisis. But they ignored it. (Moyers had a good piece on how it has destroyed Cincinnati)
Your argument seems to be "The dems are responsible for anything bad that happened AFTER they left office, and as soon as they achieve a small majority in congress even with the Rep president - then they are responsible for all that follows" GIVE ME A BREAK!
AS if the dems have control of the country now? Ever hear of presidential veto?
Another "Not my fault," line!

When I first stumbled across this guy he was trying to out cramer...cramer. He posted incessantly on the aapl boards and I felt sorry for him because fellow aapl message board posters really gave him a bad time, e.g., "baldy," "idiot," etc. He was accused then of being a secret short, a trader who would play the psych 101 game of scaring investors when he was short and pumping aapl when he was long. Guess what, I now join the aapl message board members who accused this guy of ALWAYS TALKING HIS BOOK. Hey Bass, I have met Jim Cramer and you sir are no Jim Cramer. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. ReplyApple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets [view article]
Neutrino,I'm with you. Zach Bass spends the majority of his time trying to explain what has already happened, and usually what he comes up with is either the simplest explanation he can find or some mumbo-jumbo about chart patterns that foretold the action.
What he needs to be doing is giving up on this short or near term tea-leaf reading and determine the safest place to put his money for the LONG TERM. Then act on the plan and keep an eye on his assumptions. Oh sure, he will tell you that he does that while simultaneously limiting his risk ("capital preservation", he says) by hedging with options... but in the end, he always uses mumbo jumbo to support his assertions. And at the end of the day, 5 years from now, my assertion is that I will be better off staying long AAPL than trying to whip around with the trends in the chart. "Whipsaw", is more like it.

I really don't understand how people try to forecast stock prices day-to-day, week-to-week, or even month-to-month. As many have pointed out Apple is a well managed company with great financials, great products and plenty of room to grow market share for their computers and the iPhone if not the iPods. Long term if they continue being well managed and continue innovating as they have for years then you have to expect that sales will increase and that share prices will increase with revenues. However, how do you say that due to this news or that Apple stock went up or down a few dollars? Did you go out and interview everyone who bought and sold shares today?It reminds me of when I used to listen to the Detroit Tigers baseball games on the radio. Ernie Harwell had this thing that when a foul ball was hit into the stands he would say something like "A fan from Royal Oak, Michigan caught that ball." or "A fan from Wyandotte, Michigan just fielded that one." I always wondered how he knew. Reply

One last point, to all those who want Obama because he will get even with the rich, all I have to say to you is why are you investing? You think Obama is gonna help the markets? If perhaps Obama did get elected I would advise you to lock in your profits because the sell off on DEC 31 will not be pretty. People will want to make sure they get the 15% capitol gains guarantee .......Then in 09 you can watch your job go bye bye, besides corporations
will want to make sure to keep expenses down to cover Obama's big tax hikes
But thankfully MCcain will get the house! Reply

Oh Lord, You people are ridicules, The GOP did not cause all your problems. People get over it. The sub prime mess was from ignorant home buyers who took out jumbo loans more than their paycheck could ever support and it is also the fault of greedy lenders who gave these loans. All Americans who live their lives of credit cards and loans have caused this. I know people who literally live off thier credits and the use one card to pay off another. Terrible. Well the time to pay the piper ha arrived...Next when you mention the war keep in mind who attacked who on 9/11. Also keep in mind that we did get Saddam Hussein who is just as bad os Osma Bin Laden. If we didn't help get Iraq straight, Iran was on the waiting lines to take control and that would be a disaster.
Bill Clinton had Osama Bin LAden and could have had him caught but since he opted out, 9/11 was left on the new President, Bush.
Clinton balanced the budget??? YEah right, why do you think Social Security was drained? It is easy to balance one budget and leave another with an I OWE YOU. The wonderful market in the Clinton years was a big lie and false sense of prosperity, remember the days before the DOT COM BUBBLE? Yes any stock would rise hundreds of dollars and yet not even have 1 established earnings report. All Clinton did was hand over a recession......
Also Democrats please remember things were not so bad before 2006. Then it was you, the Dems who took control.....
CAlling MCcain a a warmunger? If I recall Hillary's last plea to get votes was " If I am President we will attack Iran with a Nuclear attack"
don't remember here is the proof.........

FAr as Apple goes, yes the bears are shorting, but watch the short squeeze when earnings come out. Nothing to fear from Apple
The bears want you to believe that all those thousands & thousands of people who waited in lines for hours all across the nation just came to look at the
I Phone and had no intentions to buy one, right? LOL think about this
Oh yeah what about all those Macs, Powerbooks, I Touch etc
Why do you think software VMWare took off so well? Because it allwoed Windows users the ability to run their windows programs right on a MAc with out having to reboot. More and more people are switching to MAcs because they are stable and don't have all the issues like Window PC's do. Apple is also not only media freaks but they are more and more coming into the business fields and replacing the boring PC.....
That is why the only stupid thing the bears could come up with was the a lie that Steve Jobs is Dead....Nice Try....
I remember early in the year when everyone said Google was over
and the stock would be worth mid 300's, yep thats why when they had earnings they blew estimates and the stock burst over $150.00 in a couple days
Just read fundamentals people and avoid the fear raids....
Good Luck to All

Zack,In response to:
"The late session bounce was apparently caused in part by a published report that the Wall Street Journal cited, that there were a number of companies kicking the tires of Lehman, including BofA. But after the market close BofA said they weren't interested, and GS backed off too. The bump may have been assisted by Oil hitting a nearly 6 month low, and short covering on beaten down sectors. . . I'm not so sure how much credence to put into this bounce,"
how do you explain the stock trading up $.50 - $.70/share after hours?
