    Now What for Apple Investors? [view article]
    i agree with you guys, just because someone likes a company doesn't mean they have to like the stock. however, Jared, there were lines out the door for at least a month after the iPhone launch. Mac sales are trending at pace or better than expected. Ipods are way above expectations. Apple clearly has not been affected as much as most companies by this slowdown. so don't sit there and say that a slowing consumer is the reason Apple is being sold. that is a lot of crap and you know it. it's just the reason that people say they are selling it to scare the weak out of the market while they short it. the underlying fundamentals of this company are stronger than ever. it's being sold because it's easy money for the pros, simple as that.

    Short Interest Data: Lehman, BofA, Merrill and AIG [view article]
    I wonder how many companies would go under if the vultures (short interest) and their brokers didn't short them with no money down. Also where are all the bad managers coming from?

    I'll bend over backward to invest in APPLE which is a fantastic stock, it has seen better days and will see even more better days in the quarters ahead. Go APPLE all the way!
    "Attenuation"...

    The Financial Storm of the Century [view article]
    Marc's article title says it all "The financial storm of the century" which means it can rival the 1930s Great Depression in its severity. Creative destruction must be allowed to proceed and thereafter governments must take the lessons and avoid the mistakes made. We can only hope for the best but prepare for the worst as the unavoidable storm rages. The time will come when all these problems will present opportunities and until then we have to be cautious.

    Tom Brown wrote not less than 6 articles in the past month yelling the bottom was in.

    He was dead wrong. He lost people a ton.

    He should be in jail.

    Zero Accountability.

    Because if your favorite stock is trending lower, why lose money for sentimental reasons? people are way too sentimental over apple. it's a fascinating stock and a fascinating company but it also moves big up and down. Zach is trying to make money in both directions. There's nothing wrong with that.

    Why is Zach short? Because he likes to make money, possibly?

    Why do all you fanboys come on here criticizing him every time? You guys hate dissenting voices. Just stay away from this blog if it bothers you that much.

    You also have the mistaken notion that AAPL should be performing well in this market. It's a consumer stock, and things just don't look good for the consumer right now, in case you hadn't noticed. So stocks like this pay for that.

    Hey, eddie64, don't forget the "uptick rule" is gone as well for most other stocks other than financials. That move by the SEC was very disappointing and not welcomed by me but it was great for the hedge funds. Reply

    Government Intervention? Here's a Scorecard [view article]
    You think there is just one screw loose?! I think we need a whole new machine.

    I think the evidence clearly shows that without oversight markets are not free or competitive or healthy but corrupt...and we see the evidence everywhere not simply in FAS 157.

    Letting things go? These are not unwanted toys or clothes. THese companies have trillions of underlying assets insured. Not even the Banks will survive their unravelling. Its like 1929 all over again.

    Corzine is correct about the US consumer in general and credit cards specifically. We have only seen the tip of the iceburg.
    AIG is "technically solvent" but their credit protection costs 12%/year.
    In the World Series of Poker, AIG would be referred to as the "short stack" and this is the "degree moment."
    AIG, like Lehman, has huge corporate hubris. Where on Earth will AIG come up with $100 billion?
    The Fed was right to let Lehman go and should do the same with AIG.
    Then, work on saving the banks, which will be the financial survivors, and the financial powers of the future.
