      Mr. Berry -

      I see nothing in here that states ANY causality whatsoever. The article only discusses market share over time with respect to other OSes, and offers no attempt at interpreting the data.

      I long for the days of editors. I see now that there was a good reason journalism once had gatekeepers.

    • Analysts Weigh in on Apple Earnings; 10-15 Points More Downside? [view article]
      Predicting chaotic systems is an exercise in futility. Stock analysts, by and large, are even less accurate than your local weatherman.

      Do your own research and buy stocks that you expect to hold a long time. You'll seldom be sorry.

    • Apple Investors Nervous as Earnings Call Approaches [view article]
      I'm with "Murphy". While I don't like seeing my favorite stock go down, I invested in the company nearly 8 years ago and have no intention of selling it this year, either. I couldn't care less if some day trader loses his shorts today or tomorrow or next month. A drop of 10 points (or 20 or 30), while not welcome, has no more effect on me than a rise of the same amount.

      Electronic trading has made people careless, greedy and, quite honestly, stupid.

    • How to Get Apple to $200 [view article]
      Who can even follow this crap? The stock price will be what it will be. It's like any other chaotic system (macroeconomics, weather, fluid motion, etc.) inasmuch as an attempt at meaningful prediction with our current level of understanding is pure folly.

      When people buy Apple stock, the price goes up. When they sell it, it goes down. The percentage of investors that actually depends on the ridiculously complex metrics you outline here are probably in the single digits. Low single digits.

      The PERCEPTION of the company is ultimately what matters most for investors. Someone will buy Apple stock because they PERCEIVE it as a strong, growing company whose stock price will go up, thereby giving them a profit. Conversely, when they PERCEIVE the stock is no longer poised for growth that reflects their desired profit, they will sell.

      It's truly not going to be any harder than that until we have a much better grasp on chaotic systems. Until then, "analysis" like this is nonsensical, egotistical and masturbatory.

    • A Look at Apple's Q2 EPS Estimate Trend [view article]
      So if I get this right - and I'm really stretching my brain, here - you're saying that if Apple BEATS estimates, the stock will go UP. If Apple MISSES estimates, the stock will go DOWN.

      I often wonder if people would write half the stuff they write if they still had to pay for paper.
