Why Apple Stock Is Poised To Go Flat - At Best

Seems to me that the emotion that's unleashed any time anyone makes a comment that is in the least way negative regarding Apple is indicative of the loyalty that any company would kill for. But take off the rose colored glasses folks! .. No one is as big a fan boy of Apple as I am... And I for one realize that there are serious considerations to having a company that is to a very high degree... personality driven... No matter how many insults you hurl... Steve is a mortal man... And should he become incapacitated or worse... I ... and the stock would be devastated.
Additionally... One should not be so centric in their world view that one discounts completely the possibility that somewhere, sometime, somehow... Someone is going to come up with an iPod killer. The fact is... That even something as simple as if a nation like China should decide to say the heck with patents and copyrights and decide to market exact clones of ALL the Apple products and flood world markets with them.
The fact that exactly NONE of these products is manufactured in the US makes it entirely possible in the face of potential conflict over energy and resources.... And speaking of which... It's nice that so many people can find the time to rant and rave about whether or no Apple is "invulnerable" ... When Apple is in the same boat as any other American tech giant in that it maintains absolutely no manufacturing capability on it's home shores. Simple minds see simple things.
