Coffee_Pot,

My, how times have changed. It has been a long, long time since anyone seriously talked about shorting AAPL :) Seriously, I think you can do a whole lot better than to nick a few points off this stock. It hardly seems worth it.

P.S. I have no position in AAPL, but am a long time, confirmed, dyed in the wool Mac user. I don't voluntarily use anything else, but am forced into it by the PC Nazis at work. The new iBooks are going to put a lot of bucks directly on the bottom line if they can keep up with demand. The signs are that AAPL learned a lesson from the iMac problems.

FWIW, your problem with shorting AAPL in the short term is that the iBook is going to be a very big seller, IMO, and in addition will likely goose up the iMac line, at least initially (the iMac will benefit from iBook hype, news, PR, etc). Dunno about AAPL long-term but I wouldn't personally short AAPL ahead of the iBook roll-out.

My two cents,

-- Pete
