      Apple Investors: The Bottom's Not In - Just Yet
      I gotta agree with Murphy. Financial Bloggers are definitely throwing Apple into their headlines without abandon - usually in a negative light and then the article is mostly about something else. Lame, Lame, Lame.

      Fishing for the "bottom" is foolish because the bottom line is that Apple is the most solid tech company on the street. If any company can survive this economic cycle and cash in on the following recovery, it is Apple.

      Start accumulating positions now for the long term and you won't be disappointed.

      Does Apple Need an Enterprise Strategy After All?
      Funny, after reading Steve Ballmer's recent comments about how MSFT will take a hit from the economy, I was glad Apple did NOT have a larger corporate footprint.

      IMHO, it will be more likely that business purchases of new computer and tech equipment will be cancelled or postponed due to the economy. However, it is always true that in bad economic times people will spend as much or more on personal entertainment. Apple is in a very unique position today in the tech industry, they not only sell entertainment (the iPhone is more of an entertainment device than a corporate tool) but the best equipment to use with it.

      We don't need wall street.

      6 Things Apple's Not Doing Right
      Look, you can't hit the ball out of the park every time at bat. But, sometimes simple boring base hits will load the bases and the opportunity for a grand slam comes around. This is where Apple is at now. Don't forget Apple has said there are new products coming this fall that are completely different.

      Wait for the Grand Slam!

      Microsoft's Zune Tries to Preempt Apple's "Rock" Event
      It's not about the player, it's about the software.

      Microsoft will never equal Apple on that account.

      Five Reasons Steve Ballmer Thinks Apple's a Buy
      Good article. Although, having seen Mr. Ballmer act quite irrationally in the past, it occurs to me that this may not be the best endorsement to buy stock on.

      I have found many more endorsements from those that do actually know how to use antiperspirant and don't make it a habit of raging out of control on stage.

      Therefore, I am long on apple.

      I simply do not believe any of your story.



      Do you really think that you can stop the growing tide of millions and millions of satisfied owners of Apple products?

      The Global Reach of the First Million 3G iPhones
      ok, one more time...

      Apple never said it would sell 10 million in 2008. They said their goal was to sell 10 million BY THE END of 2008! That was in Sep 2006. Get it right will ya...

      Apple Ramps Up Its Far East Efforts
      Earnings and Growth are the two basic benchmarks for investment in any company. Does anyone really believe that Apple will stop earning great profit margins on their products or that the Company will just stop innovating and creating new products and markets?

      Regardless of the health of Steve Jobs and conservative future guidance, this company will be a money machine for years to come and there is no where to go but up. China is just one big part of the Apple pie waiting to be baked to perfection.

      ulric,

      You make a lot of assumptions about the 3G iPhone. Of course, the verdict is still out and only time will tell if you got it right. My guess is that Apple will make the corporate e-mail user experience work. This is not based on assumptions, but rather on past performance. Apple is the standout tech company because it has proven time and time again that it is responsive to the users wants and needs and can improve it's products to meet and exceed those standards. It is no wonder that Rimm has done well and I think that it will continue to do well, however, I see Rimm as serving a much narrower market. To you and other business types maybe a physical keyboard is important, but the overwhelming success of the iPhone so far proves that for most people it is not. Apple attracts anyone that uses a phone, media player, or PDA, and is effectively putting a mini mac in the palm (pun intended) of your hand.

      Research In Motion's Dream Run Comes to an End
      Right after aapl announces street-beating spectacular earnings is always a good time to buy.

      Anyone that would care to research AAPL stock prices would easily recognize the contrarian nature of this stock before and after earnings announcements. The stock will climb steadily up until a few days before, then plummet after a spectacular announcement that they beat the street.

      I don't know why, but it always happens.

      Not Buying It: Sanford Analyst Toni Sacconaghi's iPhone Hit Job
      Thanks Zach. You are an island of truth and logic in a sea of sewage.

      However, don't put too much hope in the iPhone programs at the universities. We have seen many of these programs come and go with laptops. When the endowment or grant that allows the purchase runs out, that is usually the end of it. Many Colleges have a policy of not distributing lectures and class materials in ways that encourage fewer students attending class.

      How to Get Apple to $200
      I know you guys put a lot of effort into this kind of thing and some of you are very educated with college degrees and lots of Wall street experience, but it don't make a hill of beans to the average investor like me that just sees a great innovative company with a charismatic leader and products that people crave the world over. Your valuation never came to my mind when I decided to buy AAPL and every day there are more and more small investors like me.
