Analysts Weigh in on Apple Earnings; 10-15 Points More Downside?

@davesmall
agreed. in fact, I think it's even harder to get a job writing that used car ad copy...and more challenging once you get it. analyst opinions are just that...opinions. and most of those rarely break from the typical herd mentality style of coverage, commenting on a stock ONLY when 2-3 others are doing the same. and then they just to provide the oh-so-useful "what he said" guidance/recommendatio... without any real research of his/her own.

that said, we DO need analysts to help us make informed market decisions. they just don't seem to be helping as of late, and haven't really in quite some time (including the boom times). I truly think we all might have better luck following a pin the tail on the donkey approach.

and finally, iPhone a fad?!? ridiculous. everyone is trying to imitate it, and doing a piss-poor job.
