      Herb,
      You lost me with the name Cramer, your buddy. Cramer has lost so much money for so many people you should be ashamed of yourself. Granted Cramer knows a lot of stocks and their past. But his future predictons are best left to the dartboard, he knows what we all do about a stocks future direction, NOTHING. Then there's his disclamer about how his predictions may have been previously disseminated, give me a break, his buddiesn and relatives already know what he is going to say. Geeee I wonder if they will trade on this information?

      The article is about the short tick rule, to this I say the Markert Makers rule, not the short tick ruel.

      Options Market Indicating Another Apple Disappointment?
      Last time Sandisk's stock was in this type of option position the stock did the reverse of what the options indicated. In this case the put options may be insurance for those who are long Apples stock.

      Apple Strikes Advertising Gold
      This the second article in 2 weeks that suggested Apple may hit $300 within a year, Doug Kass is definately an Apple bull along with Piper Jaffeys Gene Munster who has a $250 price target. The next generation iPhone will be here soon, Apple sales of most of their products are up, Mac Air sub-compact is a success and Mac sales are up maybe soaring. All Apple news appear to be all good lately except for iPod sales which are down but this may be due to the iPhone which is also a music player.

      Apple Facing Serious Downside Risk - Morgan Keegan
      MacDailyNews Response to the downgrade
      MacDailyNews Take: April 8, 2008: Poor Tavis of Morgan Keegan obviously couldn't analyze his way out of a wet paper bag. The real risk here is in listening to analysts employed by second-tier regional firms who fall hook, line, and sinker for ginned up election year efforts to talk down the economy* while ignoring and/or not comprehending what's really happening at Apple Inc.

      *Which, of course, can become self-fulfilling prophesies. Still, we require proof that any weakness in consumer technology spending is actually impacting Apple negatively rather than positively. For example, perhaps any threat of "recession" will cause people to spend their technology dollars much more wisely, thereby getting themselves Macs which run all of the world's software and also retain their value far better than run-of-the-mill PCs? There are a lot of variables in play here and McCourt is out of touch with, frankly, better analysts who cover Apple.

      Of the 28 analyst firms making recommendations on Apple Inc (AAPL) stock today, as covered by NASDAQ:
      • 8 - Strong Buy
      • 16 - Buy
      • 3 - Hold

      The Credit Bubble: Deregulation Gone Wild
      To resolve the crisis the article suggests "If banks of all sizes could regain their capital immediately and easily, it would be a tremendous benefit to the American economy. The federal government could make this happen by entering into an arrangement with American banks that hold subprime mortgages...Here’s how it would work: *The government would guarantee the principal of the mortgages for 15 years. And in exchange the banks would agree to leave their “teaser” interest rates on those loans in effect for the entire 15 years. "*.

      So it's suggested that people, mortgage co.'s and banks etc. who may have commited fraud by enhancing their income on mortgage applications and doing whatever other shnanagins they did, should get away with it, get great mortgage rates and all the other American taxpayers should pay for it. Now that's simply wrong because their problems should not be my problems and the problems on honest people and bankers. However I would not mind this 15 year plan being done if those who committed fraud and other shananagins and wanted to live and stay in their homes gave up their appreciaition in those homes in full or to some extent after the 15 years to pay back the reduction they received in interest rates by the rates not being increased after the teaser rate period ended.

      Apple iPhone Shortage - Is 3G Coming?
      Apparently seeking-alpha hires and pays people that do not know how to regugitate news because the below is wrong as was a news article that another reporter wrote yesterday. This article says "went up" when it should say went down , and "climed when actually they went down. Please seeking-alpha contact me so I can be hired and make money to write an article that's wrong. I can't do worse then 2 of the last 2 days articles that had parts written wrong. See below:

      "The firm’s revenue and earnings per share estimates become $32.7-billion and $5.22, respectively, up from $32.8-billion and $5.24 previously. For 2009, those figures climb to $40.4-billion and $6.21, compared to $40.6-billion and $6.23, respectively. "

      PLease, Please, hire me, I always wanted to make easy money.

      Can Apple Sell 45m iPhones By End of 2009?
      Your column has an error. In 2009 they will sell 45M iPhones, it has nothing to do with the 10M iPhones sold in 2008. As the prior comment noted you did mostly a cut and paste job and you got an important fact wrong. Also as the prior commentor indicated I would like a job with seeking-alpha so I can cut and paste articles and make $$.

      One Reason Apple May Be Hoarding $18 Billion
      Apple should not do a buy back or give a dividend. Msft gave out a $3 dividend and bought back billions in stock and it went nowhere, and at the time they had over $100 billion in cash. Now they could use that money to buy Yahoo. Ebay also bought back billions in stock and the stock went nowhere. Based on the Msft and Ebay examples a stock buy back doesn't work.

      Time to Nibble on Tech - Barron's
      Eric Saitz was totally negative on Apple approximately a month or so ago, he bashed Apple several times with his opinion based on other opinions mostly and not any or many concrete actual facts. Then one day, in someones comment to one of his articles, someone listed Eric's home address. Since then I have noticed Eric is not as negative, especially on Apple. This reminds me somewhat of a comment Charlie Gasparino made on CNBC about 2 years ago. Gasparino said something to the effect that Goldman Sacks tells their clients to buy a stock and at the same time Goldman is selling the stock and he couldn't understand why those clients still stayed with Goldman. Gasparino realized what he said and quickly changed the subject. Gasparino who had been on CNBC alot, suddenly did not appear on CNBC that much. But don't take my word for it, as Warner Wolf used to say, "lets go to the tape."

      JPMorgan Boosts Bear Bid to $10 - NY Times
      I just posted a negative article, to this article, against the federal government and Bear Stearns upper management and Bears board of directors, (it was the first response to this article) and it was deleted from this site, so i'm sending a copy of my posting to this article, along with the article to the world wide news organizaions and the federal government agencies involved, etc. etc. My comment said something to the effect that since this article indicates Bear may be worth $10 or maybe even $20 a share according to this article, why the threat of bankruptcy? Why doesn't the federal government give the $30 billion backing to Bear and let Bear stay in business? Why doesn't the federal government and the board of directors of Bear back the employees (who have their future and life saving invested in Bear, and who pay their salaries) and the shareholders? Something is not right here and it appears that the federal government and Bear's upper management, along with Bear's board of directors are involved in these crooked dealings. Suprise! Suprise! Throw out Bear's upper management, get rid of the the JP morgan deal and let the employees (who have their life saving invested in Bear) and the shareholders live on.

      If Bear is worth $10 or maybe even $20 as your article suggests, why are they selling? Why the threat of bankruptcy? Why doesn't the government back Bear with the $30 billion and let Bear stay in businesss? It looks like something crooked is going on here and the government and Bear's upper management along with it's board of director's is involved in these crooked dealings. Suprise! Suprise! Throw out the board and the upper management, get new management and let the employees who have there financial future at stake and the shareholders live on.
