Lug these out of the mall, across the parking lot? I don't think so! (I'm 5'3" and 40+) Go home, place order with Apple over the phone or on website, since SHIPPING IS FREE and someone else will lug that 24" IMac and printer up my stairs.

Yup! Apple is doomed! Doomed, I tell you..... Get a life, Barrons!

Apple's (the Stock) Best Days May be Behind It - Try Thoratec Instead http://seekingalpha.com/article/114491-apple-s-the-stock-best-days-may-be-behind-it-try-thoratec-instead?source=feed#comment-354573 354573
"Today, we're optimistic that the market bottomed back on July 15th -- when it first appeared to many investors that Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) were going belly-up -- and that since then a bottom-building process has been evolving. We say that because on the charts of most broad indexes, July 15 still stands as the low. Supporting that theory is the fact that there's been no shock as bad as the FNM and FRE scare since then."]]>

No Leadership from Apple Right Now http://seekingalpha.com/article/92902-no-leadership-from-apple-right-now?source=feed#comment-240185 240185
1. Posting to a message board, beginning three months ago, where Tommo has been active and accurate for YEARS does not constitute "publishing"

2. Referring to anyone on that message board as being a "regular reader of my work" is ridiculous and denotes hubris which may exceed any I have seen before on SeekingAlpha. Your repeated posts to the referenced message board are hard to ignore, since they are so numerous and disruptive.

I suggest that you factor in a new variable to your TA:

Taking a Bite Out of Apple http://seekingalpha.com/article/81182-taking-a-bite-out-of-apple?source=feed#comment-185215 185215 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:23:35 -0400 Taking a Bite Out of Apple http://seekingalpha.com/article/81182-taking-a-bite-out-of-apple?source=feed#comment-185196 185196 Unfortunately, I think your malpractice rates are about to skyrocket.
Why don't you try some continuing education:

www.usatoday.com/tech/...
www.surgery.usc.edu/di...

It's a good thing that this annual FUDfest (the fourth annual, actually), is only good for tanking the stock once a year. How would Apple ever survive without Steve (of almost-fond memory in the mind of greedy ghouls) in his vast underground laboratory inventing, programming, manufacturing, promoting, and selling single-handedly every product made by Apple???

Wish I could waste more time with this, but I'm trying to get an appointment for a second opinion from the renowned medical consultants at Forbes, Barron's, or CNBC about whether I should have my arm amputated--I've had a terrible hangnail for the past two weeks.

Any of us can die at any time. Steve's vision is permanent.]]>

Well, Zach (Ernie), after your article, your disclosure statement says, "Disclosure: Author has a long position in AAPL", then in replies to your previous article you say you're now all in cash??

I wonder if actively attempting to crank out these "fear and trembling" headlines for Seeking Alpha would benefit you in any personal way?

On second thought, I don't think we need to worry that some career Java programmer like Ernie can actually move Apple one way or the other with his scary headlines followed by his positive "re-analysis.

Hard to believe someone who encourages you to follow his every move, and who invents a persona for himself (Search Zachary Bass on Wikipedia) from some old 1971 movie, is such an expert. Is there anyplace on the web that you haven't been trying to influence Apple equities in the last couple months?]]>
