Reflections On The Current State Of Apple [View article]
We both had simple call and text VZ phones that could also take pictures. I think my wife waited 5 years before upgrading. We're not techy people, so of course they were huge jumps in phone capabilities between the time we got our other phones and our new ones.

I'll disregard your sarcasm.
I don't know from what p.o.v you are coming from, but it sounds very contemptuous nonetheless.
I stand by that post. My new phone is wonderful...and my wife and I hardly paid a dime to get them either. I'm hardly ever on the desktop anymore, which saves time and power (elec bill).
<<A bearish stance is the logical choice until valuations and fundamentals realign.>>
I think most of us are in this camp yet b/c of unprecedented Fed intervention, the bizarro (investment) world we are currently in (I don't want to say it's a new paradigm...might be blip on the radar in 100 years...who knows??) makes stocks the place to be. I don't have a ginormous portfolio, but it's pretty important to me and my family's future, so bonds or gold/silver or cash aren't going to cut it right now.
It also explains why defensive stocks are leading the charge: we know there will be a correction, are stunned by this run up, and have largely positioned ourselves in dividend payers and/or lower beta stocks b/c we know the likelihood of a correction is growing like the north face of Mt. St. Helens in the spring of 1980.
We're all here to make $, even if it doesn't make sense how it's happening, right?
So the only 2 questions I'm asking myself these days are this: What in the world will cause the inevitable correction and how good am I at musical chairs???

Thanks for the article and info Bill. I have to take exception to the following though:
It's not that I'm recommending a short position here, but it's never wise to buy at a stock's peak.>>
Someone has to buy if a stock is ever going to get past an old high, and someone did to push the pps over $95. I think we see PM (finally!) clip a $100 soon. Heck, a couple of $2+ up days is all it would take at this point. A great ER wouldn't hurt either : D

Thanks for the article, and for your observations.
Your thoughts about capex expenditures now (at lower prices) isn't something I've thought about re the price of the current market. It does have some interesting implications, esp as I go back over my holdings (and my watchlists) and re-eval on with that in mind.
It's short term outlook isn't sterling but it's long term outlook is imo. I'll being buying more as soon as I get more dry powder, and hopefully, it will still be this cheap.

Besides, I had a similarly colored tabby about 15 years ago and it was the coolest pet I've ever owned (and coolest looking).
Not to mention...even though I don't always agree with Ken, his research and experience speaks for himself.
Give the man some respect.
