      Apple Could Crush Competitors With a $99 iPhone
      This moron doesn't even know that Apple sells the iPhone for OVER $550!

      Yes, the carriers pay Apple that price, then THEY mark it down to $200 and hope to recover the difference via the subscription fees over the life of the contract, and customer retention, and customer aquistion from rivals.

      So, IF THE CARRIERS WANTED TO, they could "make the iPhone $99" tomorrow morning.

      Why do these morons write financial articles when they don't have a CLUE about the underlying assumptions they seem to think are so brilliant?

      Sam, get a real job where you MIGHT have some expertise, I hear McDonalds is looking for burger flippers right now.....

      Apple’s Guiding Light
      If AAPL reported normally, without provisions to NOT SHOW all the real earnings, a requirement forced upon them by Sarbanes Oxley, since they give free upgrades to the software on the product that forces them to split the earnings over EIGHT quarters, so a real $1 earned NOW, will be reported at 12 cents for eight quarters.

      Anyway, here is the REAL numbers as released by AAPL to show what they would have been without the subscription accounting forced on them by the government.

      NOTE: -> They REALLY "made" $2.69 per diluted share, MUCH MORE than the reported $1.26. This means that in a complete financial hellhole, an economy that is tanking......they BEAT THE STREET by ...

      DRUMROLL HERE...... 142% !

      And that money is RIGHT NOW all in the bank, meaning they will have a built in cushion over the next eight quarters come what may, AND they now have over $24 BILLION in the bank for whatever needs come up.

      Here is the complete chart:

      Apple Reduces iPhone Planned Builds, Suppliers Could Suffer
      Pacific Crest knows NOTHING CONCRETE about production runs, they have a track record that sucks, and even IF the fictional "facts" are true, this is a STUNNING accomplishment at the LOWER rates, and almost unbelievable at the higher ones.

      Apple's Biggest Rumor: iPod or Jobs?

      Apple's Problems - Bad to the Core?
      --->>"Can the House of Jobs get back on track? Despite major problems in the last 18 months, Apple still tops the ACSI’s customer satisfaction survey — ten points higher than closest competitor, Dell. And sales are robust."<<-...

      Therein lies the truth.

      Trolling for hits here?

      Whenever you have new products...OR ... old products. Some will have problems, some won't last, some will need replaced.

      Contrast the LOVE that consumers have with APPL, to the FUD you are spewing in this article. Do you REALLY think that people would be this passionate about Fords, or Dells? No. People know that they are cheap crap, and they live with the problems, KNOWING that they bought cheap crap.

      With Apple, they expect PERFECTION, and when that doesn't happen, they bitch and BITCH and MOAN.

      Eventually the problems are fixed, replaced, or repaird.

      And they BUY THE NEXT Apple product, some even standing in lines to do so.

      Then they have the FUN of bitching AGAIN that the newest product or service isn't PERFECT.

      See, they expect PERFECT, with the DELLS and HP's, they expect crap.

      If you cannot reconcile your whinefest with this, you have written an article without honest merits.

      >>>>Apple still tops the ACSI’s customer satisfaction survey — ten points higher than closest competitor, Dell. And sales are robust.<<<<...

      That is really the be all, and end all, isn't it?

      When To 'Believe the Hype' of a New Product
      Bull.

      Apple did NOT "hype" the original iPhone, when asked what premarketing approach Apple had for the phone, Steve Jobs answered "We had NONE."

      Same with the new iPhone.

      ZERO, hyping. In fact, there is hardly a company around that goes to such massive lengths to ASSURE THAT there will be NO advance information on a product prior to it's release.

      So, the title is misleading, and the article is PURE SHAM where the author is either clueless, or trolling for hits.

      On Short-Sellers and Dishonest Executives
      I guess you TOTALLY IGNORING "illegal naked shorting" and the ramifications of essentially "counterfeiting shares" with unlimited numbers flooding the markets was deliberate?

      One would be hard pressed to believe your expertise as a "shorter" and praise of that flavor of "investing" would leave you ignorant of the naked shorting problems.

      So, where was the discussion of THAT HUGE MARKET MANIPULATION?

      Why GM Should Embrace Bankruptcy
      {{{I am a stockholder and am extremely made that in less than one year GM has decreased its stock value by 300% ($40 per share is now $10 per share).}}}

      More properly, that should be called a 75% value decrease, not 300%.

      {{Signs of top: screaming people in front of apple stores }}

      Economics 101.

      Signs of a TOPPING, *shares* are highly in demand, overstepping the actual growth of the firms economics.

      Economics 102.

      Signs of a market shift. *PRODUCT* cannot meet overwhelming demand real live customers panicking trying to BUY, BUY, BUY.

      Methinks you flunked Elementary Economics.

      ... or you were short and just had visions of your nest egg going poof.

      Bernstein Raises Apple's Target on Higher iPhone Forecast
      Toni is a GENIUS! Really.

      To actually predict a "TARGET" for a stock forcasting ONE YEAR ahead that it made the SAME DAY of the prediction!

      One for the HALL OF FAME FOR THE BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS!

      A Real iPhone Challenger - Barron's
      Actually this is a good thing, really.

      The more the "hounds" are chasing Apple, the more the boyz in Cupertino have to ACCELERATE things.

      If they lose a few sales to the "hounds' GREAT, make Jobs and Ives SWEAT a little I say!
