OK. So you admit that Apple had a bad quarter last quarter. Good. We're making progress. Even better, you admit that we are seeing the beginnings of inflation: My take, and unlike you, I admit I could be wrong, is that there is wage pressure creeping in. - RW Exactly. I've been saying that you can't expand the money supply like the Fed has done without see inflation. We're already seeing it all around us, unacknowledged of course by the Fed. But at least you admit it. And this is just the beginning. When companies see input prices rise, it means margin compression, with all the attendant consequences: lower earnings, decreasing stock prices, fewer jobs, lower taxes, higher deficits, etc. What's funny is that you make my points for me and then deny those very points when I say them. Sheesh. Now that's biased.

YOu are completely wrong. My post was factually accurate. Apple's last quarterly release was for Q3. The one they are about to release in a few days is for Q4. My post is accurate and yet you say it is inaccurate. It is you who needs to check your facts. Not only that, but who cares? That's besides the point of our debate. The point of the debate is that Apple's earnings are slowing along with all the major bellwethers in this country. Again, it is amazing how you and others on this thread will do most anything to distract people from the fact that this economy is going down the toilet. First you try to attack my character, and yet, too many people know me on this thread and others. So that doesn't work too well for you. Then you try to attack small things in my post that are complete unrelated to the main point of the post, in the hope that you can distract others from the main point of my message. Your tactics are transparent and evidence of a small mind. Why don't you take my main points on directly, instead of biting around the edges? Are you afraid that your opinion doesn't stand up to the facts and evidence all around you?
