You have a record of flip-flopping on your positions on various issues and usually end up being wrong at the end anyway.

You call it flip-flop, I say its processing new evidence. Back when the iMac was announced, the most realistic scenario was that it would suffer from the price being too high. However on the face of evidence I have to change my initial forecast.

To you, it would be better if I had stuck with my guns instead of "flip-flopping" on the basis of the facts, as if this was a religion.

Your posting gives us wonderful insight into the mind of apple zealots. Of course, you couldn't sign off without a bit of reality distortion:

usually end up being wrong at the end anyway.

You like to repeat that every so often but it still not true.

Facts are that I was bearish when this stock was going down to $13 and a bit back up to $18, neutral during $18-27, and bullish during the last run-up from $27 to $39. All in all, during the last 36 months I was right for 32 months and wrong for 4.

A bull like you, on the other hand was wrong for 26 months and right for 10. That is what I call stupid...

Feeling stupid yet?
