Geez Phil why does it seem like more and more people are bashing you?

Seems to me you should be viewed as a hero...

The masses are asses I guess, eh ?

Yeah its gotta be Iran manipulating - surely the US crooks refuse to let that bad bad nation ruin our country by driving oil prices up -- Im sure the US traders trade against those bad people to keep oil down because they are worried what high prices will do to our country.

Gimme a break.

We know the enemy -- the enemy is us.

The Screws Tighten on Apple Investors

AAPL's not overhyped ??

*LOL* now thats funny !

AAPL products have always been overhyped -- they have also always been overpriced -- which means that they wont achieve the kind of penetration the aapl zealots contend.

Regardless of stock price, AAPL is completely overhyped -- and given that nobody /needs/ any of the stuff they sell I dont see how anyone (other than an aapl zealot, of which there are many) could even think aapl stock would thrive in an extended economic downturn.

Shoot tech in general has gotten /killed/ because tech spending, even at the corporate level is considered fairly discretionary by wall street -- yet a consumer tech company is gonna buck all that and go up while the market tanks ?

Ok im gonna sell all my PG and buy AAPL to protect me from the bear !

Oil needs to come down. Oil will come down.

I dont much understand why prices have to skyrocket so so much more than demand. Im sorry but pricing for suspicion of future supply/demand problems doesnt get it for me. This stuff should be priced at a supply/demand rate that looks out only a fairly short time - pricing ih oil armagedon is not useful nor truthful at this point.

With the supply situation right now, /at least/ the front-month contracts should be around 95 /at most/ -- and I prefer $65 as closer to the truth for the front-month.

If hording is going on then perhaps there is truth in some of the what... 40% rise in oil in the last year, but Ill believe hording is going on if you can tell me theres been a marked increase in barrels actually being delivered.

Im glad we hit the breaking point. Congress crying, drivers staying home so they can afford to buy nice compact 36mpg vehicles with their cash (since no one will give em a loan)... it all means that oil is about to recede -- and if its true to its nature itll recede with a BANG as all the crooks get out of the trade to bring oil back down before the cops step in so they can play the game again sometime.

I think this time will be a little different in that when it does stabilize lower the dips will be bought pretty agressively, so it may not languish long as the second-strikers get their chance to get in.

Im tempted to play oil short -- Jack be nimble...
