Three Apple Fears That Were Blown Out of Proportion

Steve Jobs health issue is cleared up. He's fine. iPhones are flying off the shelves with no end in sight. The Mac is gaining daily in market share. New Apple Store opens in China to huge crowds. iPhone users are buying apps from the App Store like no tomorrow. Apple is going like gangbusters, firing on all cylinders, getting new analyst upgrades. Oh wait a minute.... now that Apple is just doing everything right I notice the stock is down hugely again today.

Hmm. Oh, I keep forgetting that the better Apple does, the more the stock price goes down. Oh, well, that's just the proverbial dark before the dawn. That's because Apple's stock is going to go up and up and up and the next thing we know it will be sitting at $300 a share, the same way it was going to do in March 2008. I'm going to take a nap now. Wake me when it hits $300. No, wake me when it hits $170 again.
