  • Adobe's CS4 Should Give Apple Sales a Boost [View article]
    OK...not joining in the argument for obvious reasons, but one thing has always been known to me, but has never been clearer.
    The intense rivalry that exists between Apple and PC users.

    I'm not blind, I always knew it was going on, I just never realized the intenseness of it.

    It reminds me of the early 80's Islanders-Rangers, Yankees - Red Sox, the old Brooklyn Dodgers-Yankees, or was it the NY giants and the Yankees? I'm close, I know but not that old to actually have been there. Lakers-Celtics in the Magic-Larry Byrd Days.

    Everyone had an opinion or a side even if they weren't in the game or had a rooting interest. Of course, in marketbonics speak, you root for where your $ is.

    This has to be one of the hottest rivalries around, of course of course if we're talking goods, I forgot coke and Pepsi, Budweiser and Old Milwaukee
    (OK, just kidding there)

    OK, funny, the guy on CNBC just called Erin Burnett, Becky. It seems like you can't mention Warren buffet's anme with out his favorite little CNBC cutie pop up somehow. ( he does have good taste)

  • iPod Touch: Is It an iPod or iPhone? [View article]

    I hurt all over. I had to get out. too much on margin and was getting killed. Still yearning to be back in eventually and I am not a tech guy, but a normal everyday person who would buy this stuff without dissecting it. no insults intended, just the idea that regular people want the iphone. even if they don't understand half of it, remember when beepers first came out.

    I know it seems ridiculous now, but when you saw one, everyone needed to have one. If I see one now on someone other than a doctor or hooker, I laugh

    anyway...in the immortal words of Knute Rockne

    Lets win this one for the gipper

  • Apple's 3G iPhone: Q4 Sales Estimates Are Encouraging [View article]
    Anyone have a clue outside the technical arena for a sec...hoe long to hang on. I'm cannibalizing myself trying to hold on the as much of my apple shares as possible and remain somewhat diversified. the calls are killing me

    question is...how much longer do you think there is to keep treading water. I mean this daily huge drops have to stop soon, I am already down as others I'm sure, but I hope it doesn't test $122 again

    When exactly do they report? Can we stuff some big Macs down Steve Jobs throat. A ccompany loaded with cash, no debt and analysts are worried how skinny he is. Yeah I know the past.

    when gang when!!!

  • Apple: Major Bounce or Major Breakdown? [View article]
    I look back over the past 6-9 months of my AAPL trading / investing (not sure which yet!) and after reading all your comments, I realized 1 very important item. I have been trying to out think and maneuver a stock! An inanimate object that deems itself a quality of actual life, thought, planned moves and even emotions, such as revenge and gloat. Remember when I told you in your head not to by at 182, just because the new iphone was coming out? It was too much too soon, now look where you are...you didn't listen to me.

    reminds me of that old(er) TV commercial, you didn't listen to mother nature.

    OK, as though I am taking a bit of a smack across the knuckles with a ruler lately in the Apple school. How hard is it for anyone to write a story, someone with a tiny bit more knowledge than I, but use a little flavor, touch of humor, not all zany and wacky and make ot a different kind of read. after pouring through all the analyst reports and balance sheets that I say I do everyday, it would be a bright spot on semi-gloss paper for a little something different now and than.

    Speaking of different, how about good AApl news today time to go finish today's 'Us and them' spot for thedarksize.com The hidden from your site web site for fear of burnt retinas on the top left of this article response; or below my name..or where it says website. ahh heck if you want to find it you will. you will, yes you will
