      Apple's Interesting Challenge with Its Best Buy Deal
      Mr. Maney's comparison of Apple becoming the next Motorola is absurd and shows how little some in the press understand the business of companies they attempt to write about. The Razor's success didn't kill the devise, Motorola lacked the innovation to evolve the product as Apple has done with all it's products. Mr. Maney's story would have worked if Apple would have stopped developing the iPod once it released it’s original offering. His inability to have considered this is nothing short of lame.

      Taking a Bite Out of Apple
      Over the last year I have had the pleasure in meeting some of the individuals that were incline to short Apple, Inc. I'm not friends with these individuals, but acquaintances I see on occasion in my daily life. The story is always the same when I ask them about their trading in the market, in particular they all have that story around Apple and how the Company "burnt them" in one of their shorts. They oddly speak of the company as if the company hurt them financially and they always come off as if they were entitled to better treatment. Odd, they lie and cheat any sense of decency with their tactics and angles against a stock and individuals and yet they feel cheated. The latest effort of short traders like the cowered that wrote this piece anonymously regarding Steve Jobs health is no different. The lowlifes come out from under their rocks as self proclaim experts with one motivation in mind, greed. After reading some of the latest that comes out of these individuals, I often wonder about the welfare of the unsuspecting victim that financed their trades in the first place. Have those individuals been heard from lately? Or does this questionable character have them buried in a basement somewhere.

      Apple Hype Priced In - Stop Trading! (6/9/08)
      I have witness Jim Cramer being wrong a lot in his positions in stocks. What I resent is his lack of integrity in the process of doing so. Yesterday, he was disparately maintaining his counter intuitive call to sell-off all but twenty-five percent of ones position after the announcement of Apple's iPhone. For all those would-be-defenders of Cramer, watch the stock climb despite his call and let me know when this little man concedes he was wrong. I'm very comfortable with the notion he won't because he's done this many times over and never admits it or apologizes for it. Yes, in a very strategic move he admits a few missteps regarding a handful of small plays with a throwaway excuse. But this is Apple trading on the NASDAQ, not a stock no ones ever heard of. He's a gimmick. In short, a hack without integrity costing people a lot of money. But don't get mad at me for pointing it out, get back to me when this individual admits he was wrong. How many of his viewers watched his show and traded Apple the was he suggested. Was he right? Or was it another bad call causing you to miss a bigger investment. I'm thinking it's the latter.

      3G iPhone: What Has Apple Got Against Cameras?
      Nokia came out with an unusually thick camera phone a little while back and I've always wondered why anyone would want the devise as a phone. It's not a very mobile looking devise. I've seen one being used by a woman while at a coffee shop and was struck by it's size after first mistaking it for a digital camera. What a silly feature to want in a phone. I would be reluctant to pull the thing out in a room of strangers, much less in a meeting. Unless your a pervert and need something like that.. why would you want to carry it around.

      Apple Beats Estimates, Proves to Be Lowball Central
      So many of the reporters are attribute the negative reaction of Apple earnings to their iPod business. Yet, iPod revenue increased by 17 percent YOY because of margins on iPod touch, and "that's the highest increase they've ever seen." How many people will upgrade to the "touch" or iPhone due to this shift in the companies product(s) and technology(s)? Anyway you look at it... it seems to represent an opportunity and future growth to the companies bottom line?

      Further, Apple launched the iPhone in the US, London, Germany and France; all within SIX MONTHS of it's launch. FOUR MILLION iPHONES SOLD WITHIN TWO HUNDRED DAYS!! And it appears sells are accelerating since December 31st! Apple states during the earnings call they were, "Very confident of hitting the 10 million goal in 2008 on iPhone unit sales."

      FACT: the iPod Touch and the iPhone are both taking from the further GROWTH STORY of the iPod. However, in both case you can see higher margins. Why aren't people in the media seeing this as a new and improved "iPod Story." It's evolutionary, not a story of extinction.

      The Mac number was far better than estimates: 2.4 million versus the 2.2 million analysts anticipated. Same goes for iPhone with Apple reporting 2.3 million units shipped against the 2.26 million Wall Street expected. "All of the numbers were fine. They continued to gain marketshare. The issue is that people wanted a more confident earning guidance from a company that isn't known for doing that. There's nothing wrong with the actual numbers as you reported, it's just that people are worried there's going to be a problem with the self-fulfilling recession everyone in the media has been trying to create. Consequently, the earnings guide-down was a little bigger than historically stated. Typically they guide down earnings by 9 percent, but this time around it's closer to 15 percent. People were likely hoping for something stronger and now there's worry that maybe the robust earnings days at Apple may be gone. Mac is gaining marketshare, and that's the key for the company near and longer term. I agree.. Low-hanging fruit. Pick it now and enjoy the 30+%.
