Ed,
Somebody just cannot see Apple's success. Unfortunately, these guys lifes are miserable since it takes a lot of energy to hate, which will end up short-lived.
I agree with you that Jobs is the number one manager since my background and experience are in Management for decades. He is not only dedicated to Apple, but also has sharp vision. With Apple in his hands, I feel all investors should appreciate it.
Apple's future has turned around, although slowly. With current market share, it is easily to reach $6.5B with $200M+ profits annually. We don't care about increasing market share in the first place, but do worry about Apple's products and its revenues. Therefore, Apple has done a tremendous job to maintain its product's quality and competitivity and the result has shown on G3's and OS8's with handsome profits, which has been revealed in Q1 and will continue to show in Q2 and beyond.
Whether Apple would reach $50 is everybody's guess, but, its substainably profitable quarters will be the best weapon to safeguard our investments. Be patient, the glory days will come.
