shorts will cover when the stock is at 0.1

maybe

why should it go to 0.1? why not and who will stop the sellers to get it there?

HAS ANY SHORT OR " JOURNALIST" EVER GONE TO JAIL FOR SPREADING LIES?

worship the free market, kill the last major US company that can innovate, vote republican to transfer all the wealth to bankers and short-sellers.

Enjoy.

Amidst Market Turmoil, Apple Has Unique Opportunity

In the Great Depression 20% were unemployed. If we are once again on the brink of a similar event, that translates to 80% of population being prospective Apple customers. Long way to go and much profit for Apple shareholders to look forward to (financial industry with its cheap PC's be damned).

Has Apple Hit a Wall in Music Innovation?

I can almost hear the screams of "well-wishers" posting relentlessly about how wireless sync discharges battery and makes iPods overheat and unusable, so be careful what you wish for.

On the other hand, I will be content with the "genius" playlists, Nike+, speaker and audio input on the new iPods and iTunes 8 with the new visualizer. Really looking forward to 2.1 for the iPhone and the potential of Voice IP for the new iPods.

Shouldn't one try a feature like "shake to shuffle" before starting to criticize?

Based on the data presented at the conference is there a need to be concerned with Apple "losing momentum in music" and was I disappointed?

Not at all.

Six Reasons Why Apple's Still a Buy

I am also concerned to see the stock going down so much so fast, but we've been there before with Apple.

What I find reassuring most of the time at conferences like today, is how much better, if incrementally so, the products get. The new iPods look great, just tried the new iTunes and it's once again a nice upgrade, genius sidebar is fast and informative and new visualizer needs to be seen. The new headphones look like a huge seller these holidays as well. Looking forward to the iPhone bug fix update on Friday.

I would have liked to see new laptops or some new products and updates of everything, but all in due time, I'm sure.

As far as the hedge fund comment, Goldman said Jobs mentioned that he thought some hedge fund was short AAPL in JUNE and was spreading rumors that his cancer returned. The minute it hit the air, the stock, already in decline, nosedived. So yes, I'm sure shorts are working this stock and they will continue to question Jobs' health and emphasize negatives and publish obituaries and feed FUD to the media. Bear market, economy, no uptick rule and no enforcement make the environment ideal for short-sellers. I do wish however that he would not make these comments without calling names.

I have no idea when the stock will turn is this vicious bear market, but it's obvious that Jobs is not getting worse and is enthusiastic as ever. He assures that he is in good health. This product refresh tells me that people at Apple are having fun and the product ecosystem keeps expanding. I will look forward to new products and another great quarter and the year.

Nokia Is the Smart(phone) Bet - Barron's

I'm with you, H-Bomb. I wanted to write something snide and cynical on Nokia, but, looking at Rachel's smile, I just can't.

False Data Clobbers the Markets

@User 118548

I'm not Mike in Finland, but I'd like to comment that you sound like a shrink or a con man.

But you know who you are...

False Data Clobbers the Markets

Only a delusional cretin will call Apple a "perennial loser" and expect anyone to take him seriously, Ernie Montague.
Don't care much about oil, but I'm certain that once you remove the oil men from the big house, the price will drop. You can write dissertations why it won't, and why the world is coming to an end and no one will listen.

Bloomberg's Premature Steve Jobs Obit: Why?

I'm intrigued by the "largely unsubstantiated" choice of words. Do you imply that there is anything in this rumor you CAN substantiate? Well, then you must tell exactly what you know and who your sources are, otherwise your reader has no choice but to conclude that you are a corrupt, unscrupulous liar.

Apple's Biggest Rumor: iPod or Jobs?

The author must draw great satisfaction that no one outside of his immediate circle is interested in his health. I am sure it will stay that way.

Apple: An Antidote to iPhone Complacency

I understand you were disappointed with Apple, you invested so much of yourself and Apple let you down. Perhaps at some point you even lost money on Apple.

GET OVER IT!!!

BlackBerry Bold vs. Apple iPhone: Two Very Different Experiences

Since this comes from a Canadian outfit, I admire your patriotism.

That's about all the positives I can think of.

Apple: Great Company with Lofty Valuation - Due for Pullback

These arguments are so old and boring, they could have been written at any time in the last four years. Excluding Steve Jobs health, any time in the last SEVEN years.
This is like saying "everything is reflected in the price" one year after the introduction of iPod - imagine how much was lost by "investors" that listened to exactly the same points then. There is every reason to believe that iPhone will be much bigger for Apple then iPod could ever be.
Have to give the credit to the author for stating his short position. Most of the same negative spin is recycled by the media as unbiased opinion. Perhaps that is what the author refers to as "hype", since there is some negative article somewhere about Apple and it's products practically every day.
Incredibly shortsighted, intentionally so.
