Apple Vs. Research In Motion: The Winner Is ... [View article]
Nice story thg, but what everyone seems to forget is, that when you profit from the sale of a house, it usually means having to buy another, which went through the same boom or bust! OK, you can sometimes move into something smaller, but otherwise, the "profit" is virtual...

Susan, this model may mitigate risk to the business, but it doesn't for the shareholders. It's a bit like leveraged credit capitalism which looks great from the wealth creation point of view, but requires continuous growth to do so. When that fails, we have a bubble that's about to pop, growth cannot endure for ever.
I see Apple (and others) in a position of making lots of money while growth continues, but when the inevitable happens, those with shares will find them to be practically valueless!
Of course, there's no telling when this will happen (perhaps not in our lifetimes) but there's no question of "if"; it will happen, so those who are pushing this stock would do well to be less complacent.

Interesting comments Abu! We come at this from a different direction; as an experienced engineer, who has worked in several industries, my impression is that Apple is riding the tiger, and the tiger is sustained by fickle fashion!
I won't bother putting numbers to this view (as someone above stated, it's too opaque) nor do I have a feel for "when", but if (when?) they have to dismount, I foresee a catastrophic result!
Maybe some day, I too will take a short position, but as for now, it's one I'll stay out of...
