Quarter ends 9/30 ; straight line price with huge volume Posted earlier it ended 9/26 but 9/30 end may allow some opts to not be included in 4Q's EPS calc due to Friday's vol & price drop. Just a remote chance (quarterly weighted average share price) , and definitely not a benie we looked for this Q. Surprise still doesn't add up and AAPL's handling has been cited by the Street as grounds for punishment. Constrained shipments of the new product lines couldn't have been a surprise (not with the $10 mln opts man Mr Cook in charge) and a stale inventory was (Costco etc) apparently being managed. Could it be the 500mz G4s are not selling ? Not advertising the new iMac's speed bump-ups may be indicative. The higher priced G4s were to be the margin/revenue maker. Did AAPL think constraining the new iMacs and later the new iBooks would help the G4s sell ? You know what, doesn't matter and only silent AAPL knows but what counts is how they explain/handle it 10/18 . Yesterday's almost straight line price/vol looks like Muts exchanging shares. Price could be artificial but margin covering could ding any increase for a few days. It's been lonely out on the window ledge and after this venting I'm not gonna jump. Guess we will be reassuring each other here again like we did about 3 years ago. Jim K.
