  • Retirees Beware Of The Many Dangers Of Holding Overvalued Stocks [View article]
    As always, your posting is helpful and worth reading, and I am enjoying and benefitting from my new F.A.S.T. Graphs membership. Can you comment on the foundation for and potential reliability of analysts' projections of future earnings that seem to be at the core of the assessment of proper valuation?

  • Thoughts On Apple's Ousting Of Forstall And Browett: Asserting Cook's Authority, Solidifying Jobs' Vision [View article]
    Thanks for a very interesting account. I share your sense that the leadership transition can be very good for Apple. Every company has personnel and personality issues. I think that it is healthy for Cook to take a stand that will help key people work successfully and collaboratively.

  • Where Is The Upside In Apple? [View article]
    Thanks for a thoughtful and, I think, prudent perspective. While some of AAPL's price drop comes from somewhat self-inflicted wounds, the market seems driven by fear, inability to comprehend so large and prosperous a corporation, and unrealistic expectations for Apple and virtually all other corporations whose slight drops in earnings or revenues are labeled as disappointments when they could as reasonably be viewed as commendable performances in unusually tumultuous international business conditions.

    You'd better give Warren Buffet a call and let him know he's on the wrong train.

  • 4 Stocks To Trade, What's Next For The Market [View article]
    If you have changed your mind about the company's earnings, revenue, debt, business prospects, etc., then selling makes sense. All stocks go through difficult periods. Bailing out when a stock you like dips below its 50-day moving average and then shorting the stock makes you part of the problem that other misguided and fearful investors started. If you stick with things you believe in and write about them, others may admire and follow your lead.

  • 6 Business Friendly Features In iOS 6 And What They Say About The New 'Surface' Threat [View article]
    The part about what Apple has built into its IOS 6 technology for better administrator controls in corporate use is quite interesting. The piece gets weaker when you load it with your slant -- based on what "one source" allegedly told "two customers."

  • Nuance: Long-Term Buy And Hold [View article]
    Thanks for an interesting and well-presented article which I find much more credible and helpful than Modernist's "A Nuanced Case Against Nuan" from October 16th.

  • Amazon: Analysts Bury Their Heads In The Sand [View article]
    Thanks very much for stating what can hardly be more aptly or generously expressed: "These analyst opinions are all supported by some level of data, so they are not entirely implausible."
