Me, for one. Apple sub-30 this earings or next is a "belief" I talked about several times. Then again, I also said outright shorting of this stock was potential suicide since Jobs is, well, Jobs, and you never know what kind of rabbit an impressario like that can pull out of his hat. So to limited-risk verticals I stick - in both directions. I candidly admit last Q surprised me to the upside. A large reason I have no problem with such admissions is because my approach to trading isn't dependent on getting those guesses right. And let's be blunt, for all the evidence we may think we're bringing to bear on the matter, they really are just guesses. Apple moving to Intel is not only a good move, it was absolutely necessary for long term survival. IMO.

Since I am generally the only one who has expressed doubts Apple could you post a few of those numerous postings you mentioned above, because I know I didn't say it. No, you didn't say it, Don. I don't recall you making that forecast at all. I very clearly did not say or imply you did. WLD already posted that he forecast a move below 30 and I know several others did. Your assumption that I am generally the only one who has expressed doubts Apple [your words] appears to be faulty. Others shared your doubts as well. I did not bother to reference the specific posts because my point was a larger one, that there was a much more negative view of Apple--certainly at the time of the announced switch--than I felt was warranted. The more benign view seems to have been borne out by the subsequent facts. You are not the only one who has had negative things to post about Apple or its stock price. Not sure why you seem to think you are. Kip
