You have to suspect when somebody who made a big profit but sold "too early" (there really is no "too early" with profit, but there are emotions anyway, if he did sell most at 37 and could've sold most even today at 73, well multiply 20,000 shares by $35 more in profit, that's around $700,000) and comes back right before earnings to talk it down, that the person might've gone short. Maybe to justify the early sale. And probably will be quiet now. Of course I could be totally wrong and if so apologize, maybe he's just watching earnings out of curiosity and felt like posting. Hey, he was early and smart about the Ipod, we all should've been so early and smart.

Happy yet, or is the highest revenue & net income in Apple’s history not good enough?

It is not about being happy it is about whether Apple is gaining marketshare in the computer arena. Do you have numbers on that? Did Apple comment about it?

I am glad for Apple they provide a great service to the industry. But my point for years now is whether they can regain any substantial marketshare. Switcher was a failure as were all other attempts to turn the tide.

I got what I wanted out of my Apple investment as I do in most investments. But I do continue to follow it like I do other stocks like Rambus, to see how the story plays out. I have no position and no desire to any time soon, where there is news of interest I will be around. Presently I prefer to invest in seconds.
