Swine Flu Stocks: Where Are They Now?

Seems like you're listening to news other than what I've been hearing. Cases of Swine flu and related serious consequences appear to be getting worse, not better, and the flu season has only just begun. Also, the profit taking appears to be minimal for most of these companies when considering the outstanding gains made in only three months.

Buy The Obesity Drug Basket: ARNA, OREX, VVUS

Obviously not all users will only lose 3% as the data shows. Many people will lose considerably more weight. The effectiveness of all drugs is not the same for everyone and this is widely understood. In addition, most people will avoid and NOT follow though with strict diet and exercise regimens. Also, I suspect you're missing the importance of drug safety to the majority of potential users these days. I doubt there would be so much interest in Dendreon (DNDN) if this was not a major concern. I know all of my friends including myself have voiced concerns on this subject in recent years and are avoiding drugs for this reason. During my last physical my soon to retire family doctor told me he personally avoids most drugs for this same reason.

Preview from Europe: Stocks Get the China Syndrome

GREAT!! This means the market is going higher. The more negative news the better. The market loves to climb a wall of worry.

Why the Recession Is Over

Amen to that! I have been observing for over 10 years now that whatever the majority thinks is going to happen, never happens! In fact, more often it's just the opposite! The Y2K Scare was a classic example. The overwhelming negative response on this article is very encouraging to me. It tells me Mike is likely on the right track "The recession is over."

Rambus's Litigation-Based Business Can't Last

Wow Tom!! You just destroyed your credibility as a... whatever you are?... BIG TIME!! Not that I am aware that you have any credibility to lose. Nevertheless, it's quite apparent that you obviously don't have a clue as to what has been going on with Rambus. I highly recommend in the future you do your homework BEFORE giving in to temptations to post such nonsense.

Street 2009 View Still Too High for Semiconductors

Sounds like it's time to start buying shares again as the market always discounts earning trends by 6 months or more, and historically semiconductors begin to take leadership even prior to the overall market upturns. 2003 is a good example to reference. Hey, let's face it! This is the most overreacted emotionally driven bear market in history - a self-fulfilling prophecy indeed, which means, the upturn will likely be the same. For how much cash is sitting on the sidelines now? Last quote I heard is over $7 trillion. This is obviously unprecedented in history by a long shot.... Need I say more?

Is Jim Cramer Right? Is Apple Really a Market Barometer?

Personally, I didn't interpret Cramer's comment as relating to any kind of a real time market relationship. I also thought he was talking about future predictive trends. It's common knowledge on Wall Street that the market requires leadership in order to move forward. Cramer apparently believes that Apple will be the key participant in this leadership. I believe he will be proven right on this prediction. In any case, I guess I can understand how a technician minded person might get carried away with a detailed analysis and think otherwise.

6 Things Apple's Not Doing Right

Wow!! Talk about an article where the author surely has had her head buried in the sand. Then again, perhaps she's just another one of these lonely attention seekers?

Why Apple Stock Is Poised To Go Flat - At Best

Well, I would normally agree that the name calling from the posters above is really unnecessary. However, I have to admit that articles like this from such uninformed so called analysts are quite shocking. I found it hard not to get emotional myself. On the other hand, I'm convinced most these guys are just attention seekers and they know they're going to get blasted when they post the articles. So I think it's best to just ignore them.

Apple's Problems - Bad to the Core?

What bugs me about Seeking Alpha is they will let any clown post articles whether they have a analyst/journalist background in the subject or not. This author obviously only knows enough about what's happening with Apple to be dangerous. Hopefully after reviewing these reader comments he will "get the message" and move on and get a real job.

Apple: Great Company with Lofty Valuation - Due for Pullback

Mark, Seriously, you should stick to your background of covering restaurants, airlines, and companies selling donuts, sugar, tea, auto parts, etc. Obviously the high technology industry is not your cup of tea.

The Long and Winding Road of Foreclosures

Can't really see the image on my laptop. It doesn't enlarge when clicking on it. It remains the same small size.

Changes in Market Cap for Biggest U.S. Companies

Yes indeed the handwriting is on the wall for Apple. This firm will be nearing the top of the largest market cap list in just a few years. The ultra-portable hand held computer market is going to explode and be absolutely HUGE, and AAPL will have a dominate market share not to mention an even much larger piece of the laptop and desktop PC markets. And keep in mind that Apple is also cornering the audio and video download entertainment markets as well. Talk about an outstanding business model.... WOW!!

WaMu and More: Uninsured Depositors Begging for Trouble

Looks to me like Gimme Credit analyst Kathleen Shanley may have had another motive for citing a decline in federal funds purchased and commercial paper at WaMu. Note that she is also an analyst for Bank of America according to the following website:

Apple Investors Need to Get a Grip

Oop!! Looks like you must have accidently used the wrong headline with this article. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with Apple Inc.
