  • Apple: Leading the Way to a Total Tech Breakdown [View article]
    Apple has a lot of cash in its piggy bank and might decide to institute a stock buy-back program if shares fell below $130 (say). So I think shorts seeking a maximum potential payoff would do better shorting other tech stocks.

    Another nasty potential surprise for shorts is that IBM or HP might decide within the next six months to either resell Apple products worldwide, or announce a switch over to using them internally in place of ordinary PCs, or both. IBM is said to be evaluating Apples in a pilot program already, and so are many other companies. Even if only a few large corporations followed Der Spiegel in switching to Macs, the first half-dozen announcements would have a powerful (10%?) upward effect on AAPL.

    AAPL is in an unusual situation. It doesn't have to outrun the bear--it only has to outrun Microsoft.
