Did Apple Manufacture a First-Day iPhone Shortage?

Is everyone forgetting that their were supply problems and production supposedly only began in earnest 2 or 3 weeks later than promised...I would suggest that this issue underlied the entire of shortage...also I find it quite possible that the idea of "hold back" was someones bright idea of making sure to keep the sales flow going through the weekend due to shortage...but maybe in retrospect it was someones idea of making sure that they didn't overload the activation system...lol...of course limiting downloads of 2.0 to new customers for several days might have worked better...lol...in any respect it is what it is and hopefully the companies both learned a few new lessons...apparently the activations and downloads were somewhat easier by the end of the day on Friday...not 3 days like last year...as to the stock price...unfortunately AAPL won't rise stratospherically as long as the S&P 500 is going down...at best it will rise slightly or only go down a little until all this financial mess and the fear it is causing is mollified...

Apple Hype Priced In - Stop Trading! (6/9/08)

I agree...apple has far to go...he is treating like a trade instead of an investment and I am sure a few months from now when apple is at all time highs due to the synergy of their business ventures...he will sheepishly vow not to repeat his mistake in the future...lol...I find it funny that all the Fast Money Guru's admitted to "holding" apple long term...and a few recommended buying more on the dips...

Apple Confirms iPhones Targets, But Will Defer Some Hardware Numbers

The only thing left to say...is that when the financials lower there future earnings estimates every analyst sighs with relief that now we know the real truth...as opposed to Apple who seemingly provides accurate and acheivable financial goals and strives to surpass them...and even more discouraging are the analyst who pick one aspect of Apple's great product lineup and expect them all to act like rising stars when everyone who really knows business that "Cash Cows" like IPOD pay the bills...they overlook the "residue" business that keeps on paying both from deferred revenues and from the "iTune" store...or the overwhelming success of their retail outlets in the US...whereas all the other "high end" retailers including Starbucks whines about "customers" spending money on living...if you offer value the customers will support you... it all comes down to ethics...Apple appears to have...other companies don't and a fair number of the analyst appear to get paid to trash/manipulate the stock especially during earning report times...

I researched the last few earnins reports and the pattern is always the same...unfortunately I was not aware of this...I will be in the future like aapl shareholder above...

Under The Radar News - Tuesday

I read 5 negative to very negative outlooks above and yet banks and financials climbed significantly...I am sure glad that reporting outlets like Seekingalpha and Minyanville exist to provide the facts along with references...if a tech company had the issues anyone of these financial companies have...it's stock price would tank significantly more...I almost feel like a number of the mainstream press are on the payrolls of the FED and Big Investment houses to provide false hope and misinformation...

Have a great day!

Peace

8 Reasons To Buy Apple Stock Now

I agree but there should have been "9" on the list...the ninth being the income and growth path opened to Apple as a "game player" supplier...both the iPhone and iPod Touch will become the game of choice for many...and with the "store"...many games will be available including many that are written for all the existing "game players"...this is a huge potential driver to hook new generations on
Apple products...
