  • Ominous Drop in Sales Bodes Ill for More than Just Apple - Barron's [View article]
    One person's shopping experience: Go to the mall to look at Apple products because I need an upgrade. Decide on 24" IMac, a new printer, and small accessories. Just what I want--beautiful!

    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 [View article]
    A True Visionary, er, shill? From your article 8/26/08:

    "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 [View article]
    "I despise replying to such vitriol, but I should point out Tommo_UK is a regular reader of my work in many venues where I publish, and a constant antagonist. Kind of ironic. " You've GOT to be kidding??!!

    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:

    Second Tommo's opinion. Useless, wrongheaded, multi-syllabic blather.
    Follow this guy's advice and you will only preserve capital for your broker in fees and margin interest. Why does SeekingAlpha keep publishing this stuff? Ernie (Zach) is a JAVA PROGRAMMER, not an analyst.

  • Where Have all the Tech Leaders Gone? [View article]
    So which is it Ernie? Your disclosure says "LONG". Your article says you're on the sidelines in cash.

    you "disclose" you're LONG APPLE. You sold last week for a loss? Today you "disclose" that you have no position??

  • Taking a Bite Out of Apple [View article]
    Thank you for your consult and diagnosis, Dr. "User 209923", M.D.!!
    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.

  • Should Apple Investors Focus on 3G iPhone or WWDC Message? [View article]
    Not a fan....More like a sheepdog. Don't like critters who skulk, hide, are fond of causing stampedes, and have a taste for lamb chops.

  • Should Apple Investors Focus on 3G iPhone or WWDC Message? [View article]
    Ad Hominem = attacking an opponent’s motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain. Yes, I think that my responses to your articles fit that category nicely. I think your motives are definitely questionable.

    As for your background:
    digg.com/users/erntheb...
    erntheburn.stumbleupon.../
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    messages.finance.yahoo... (search for erntheburn)

    People can judge for themselves.

    What Zach "erntheburn" Bass fails to disclose is that he is a swing and day Apple trader. Expect more attempts at market-moving Apple "headlines" from this source.

    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?
