<<Phil, that is no way to treat a fellow AAPL investor. The issues that Travis raised are legitimate concerns. I do think that Q4 earnings, unit shipment, and revenue will all impress the street however the point is that things could always be better if Apple takes the proper steps to ensure better product availability. I know that component availability isn't always within Apples control, but after hearing about that over the last 2 years it does get tiring after a while.>>
How do you know they don't take the appropriate steps? Before looking into the entire picture, don't jump into a conclusion so quickly. I judge Apple totally based on their trends. If I had such feelings as Travis', then I would sell all APPL stocks without having second thought. As I said before, I totally trust Jobs performance like Larry (Oracle CEO) did. I wouldn't make any judgement unless I have seen the entire picture, which is impossible for outsiders. I think the best way to correct the problem (if any) is to directly contact Apple, I think they will listen. Tell you the true, there are not many companies out there that can generate nearly $5.6b-$6b yearly revenue with less than 10,000 employees like Apple.
