Crying Wolf? (Remember November.)
via Apple Recon
> RFI is still working on trying to run down details but several sources have related that there is going to be a "Big Announcement" from Apple on Monday 02 Feb 98. And, given the calendar day RFI suspects that it might have to do with some type of deal and that it might involve Oracle. In other words, what was supposed to occur on 10 Nov 97 might be leaked over the weekend, or announced on Monday 02 Feb 98.
RFI is speculating, as of this moment, that this is what is possible as the calendar intimates a lot. In other words, Monday isn't known as "Takeover Monday" without cause. If a deal is announced then AAPL.O might spike short term until the analysts speak out on it, or if the price is less than what AAPL closed at on Friday. Again, we stress that this is speculation at this time and use all due care and caution. If you're uncertain, or risk averse, sit on the sidelines.
So, speculatively, enter into longs/ calls on Apple (AAPL.O) on any weakness either today or on Friday. Feb 20 AAPL calls are probably the best bet on weakness. If we get more information, we'll send out an update no matter what time of the day or night.<

An AAPL merger/alliance with ORCL *does* jibe with:
a) AAPL's separating its Filemaker database division to preempt anti-trust concerns.
b) Ellison mouthing off -- as if he owned the company-- on AAPL NC-cum-"Appliance" products/strategies .
c) AAPL's continued silence on a CEO search.
Let's be careful out there.
