Is there any more intellectually ridiculous a statement that could be made by a supposedly professional investment organization? Yup - let's sum up our investment strategy in one simplistic rule!

Apple DID say "in 2008", not "by end of 2008". Google the conference call transcript one or two quarters ago. I got on Kincaid's case for sloppy reporting, but here he's right.

(In either case, it's gonna happen.)]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:26:51 -0400

Then, IN THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE he says "the United States accounts for 60% of all units sold during the three day period, with a total of 600,000".

So then, let's compare 1 mil in the US in 74 days against 0.6 mil in the US in THREE DAYS! A little bit of evidence for something, eh? now I'm not claiming this as a continued sale rate, but c'mon, the latter sentence sure undercuts the former, doesn't it!

And of course it "remains to be seen... if Apple can reach its goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008"! That's trivially true -- it's August! And that three-day accomplishment make sit very, very likely!

Oh, the pressure of those publishing deadlines...]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:23:14 -0400

C'mon! Stop the whining. Do you think they would deliberately chose the worst possible option for themselves? If it's expensive there, then it's expensive. Either they lower the price or offer more for that price. They're apparently doing well with their current pricing structure, much as you might hate to pay it.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:53:19 -0400
