I'm a Buyer of Apple On This Selloff

And as someone has said, 18 Billion in cash is not even counted! This aapl company has really got their sh-t together. Maybe get someone else to announce the numbers, especially when its a fear freaking marketplace. And........how about a stock buy back right about now? Come on Steve, just a little buy back.....

Apple Might Have Fallen Unfairly, but Look Before You Take a Bite

I wish they would buy back some stock right now.......

Apple's Guidance Games Are Hurting Shareholders

France sales of iPhone is well ahead of target. Canada, Japan next, China to follow, maybe Latin Americas before China. But France did report sales were above estimates.

Analysts See Buying Opportunity in Apple

Movie rental business..........clea... the current guidelines are what Apple wants inorder to make the most money. However, given that, it is only a starting point. Granted, there are those people that rush out to Blockbuster to get the newest movie but the vast majority of movie viewers don't. So, who cares if they do not get the movie for 30 days. Look at the top 100 on Netflix. There are some movies in the top 25 of that top 100 that are a year old. Now, what does that tell you? And, if Apple wanted to they could negiotate with the studios, pay alittle more, and give it to you the same day Blockbuster and Netflix gives it to you. But why start there? I think Apple has a well thought out strategy here in place. A few things will change however. The 24 hours viewing has got to go to 72 hours, perferrably 7 days. And the 30 days from purchase is just stupid. Give people 6 months, come on, who cares anyway, Apple has the money in the bank, right? The customer has paid! One thing for sure, Apple has all the money in the world to get the right people. And these people are smart, really smart. And the consultants that they pay to watch over the decision makers are smart too! Finally, just a simple note on the iPhone vs. the Blackberry. The gap will start to close. And that is because Apple has more than just a phone in the arsenal. That iPhone will be a mini computer, linking to all of the other products that Apple has now and in the future. The iPhone is going to be like a "key" to everything that you do. Even your credit card will be history. The Apple iPhone will be your debit card, your credit card, and much, much more. Where will they put the scanner bar? What will the future be like in 5 years with this company, Apple. I know, Disney will tear down the Matterhorn and replace it with a big Apple. OK, well maybe not, but look forward to the Apple castle. A playground for kids of all ages.
