Running the Numbers: The Roller Coaster That Is Apple

You make no accounting for Apple's huge cash hoard and use GAAP accounting comps. Disinformation at it's finest.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! 2/26/08: Much Ado about Price Wars

"Cramer called IBM’s quarter “unbelievable” and prefers it to his former horsemen, GOOG and AAPL, which reported lackluster quarters."

More disinformation by the master Mad Money hypster. Lackluster quarter? Apple reported the best quarter in their history last quarter beating expectations as usual (this was their fiscal 1st quarter). They were under the analysts guidance for this coming quarter (is that unusual for them?). Let's get real for a change.

Gadget Stock Watch: Black-and-Blue Handset Stocks, More

The general media spin surrounding the Macworld keynote as being lackluster is laughable, i.e.“ the lack of a killer product similar to the iPhone launch.”

How soon the media forgets. Prior to the 2007 Macworld event the iPhone was already an expected announcement. Its concept, before, during, and after 2007 Macworld was surrounded by bashing the phone. Not enough battery life, screen that scratches, touch will never be accepted, on and on. Steve Ballmer stated flat out it would be a flop.

The stock was on fire because of Apple's growth in its overall product line throughout 2007, this growth will continue, and while pundits may think this new thin lap top is a non event, neither was the iPhone in 2007.
