Generally, I'd say your right rhetOric but I think the safer assumption is that the stock won't test it's high on this earnings release. Three issues will lead analysts to exhibit their usual caution. First, top line earnings growth as we've discussed doesn't support a much higher stock price, 2nd, Apple is a turn around company that some will expect turn around growth to mask traditional seasonal revenue patterns. Some will say it's a negative if Apple is unable to show sequential growth in units, revenue and eps. Third, the fire hasn't had much impact but you can bet there will be analyst questions that Apple probably won't answer fully. I expect some analyst's to indicate an impact in this qtr and express caution. On a separate issue, did anyone notice that Appleinsider on their Sonata report indicated OS X would be released early next year? A mistake or use of fiscal calendar? Or is OS X delayed? Rich
