iPhone Price Drop Is A Bad Sign [view article]
This is so ridiculous. The problem with US markets is that they only focus on the short term so analysts like this one could not identify nor define the word strategy with three dictionaries on hand. Great companies are run with long term goals and not short term actions that are made to increase stock prices now so that some market insider can get rich quick. The current mortgage problem in this country is 100% the fault of short-sided (dumb) investors wanting more and more every single day so that district managers are forced to hand down unrealistic sales goals to front end employees and then s***thappens. That is not natural for any company so numbers have to be played with an adjusted and good decisions bypassed to reach unrealistic goals. Apple knows that the iPhone is a long-term thing and the most important thing right now is gaining market share. If they can afford to do this (based on their historical margins they can) it is a great idea. This "analyst" is one of the worst since his advice is to sell SOME of your Apple stock. Some? What kind of stupid advice is that. Basically its an "i Don't know what the heck will happen so be on the safe side". Gee thanks.

The figures ATT released were for the first 30 hours of sales. From my talk with customer service reps on activation day new accounts were easy to activate but anything that was being transferred from another service provider could take very long. I called for activation at about 8 pm on the 29th and she told me that transferring was so backed up that it could take between 3 and 5 days to activate. None of these phones could have made it into ATTs activation numbers. Jul 25 02:10 PM
