Bob,
If you want to keep bangin' your head against the wall with this Bill Jackson guy, of course it's your right. I always enjoy your posts. But consider the following:
The guy says he supports Apple, but slams the company and Jobs every chance he gets. Every choice Apple has made is a bad one, in his opinion.
He doesn't know jack about Apple's technology and doesn't seem interested.
Sometimes statistics can help clarify an issue. Consider the table below. It reflects the number of Bill posts against the daily stock price of AAPL. He didn't start posting until APPL bottomed from it's overbought correction and posted the heaviest on the days it was trying to move up (17 in one day...and this from a guy that says he's a hunt and peck typist?).
The guy probably is just a short. More FUD.
Regards,
Scott
