I am only playing the PnF buy signal with the new uptrend line. This is called buy and sell signals and other market prepectives You are free to ignore the buy signal if you choose to. Thats what makes America great. I think I did post 484 before 442 but being old and feeble I can't be sure that I did.. I played that classic PnF buy signal inspite of the fact that my indicators are all turning bearish. Nothing better than a sure fire buy signal in a declining market.

Competition in iPhones and I pads will reduce gross margins a lot. Competitors are at 20%. Apple at 40%. Remember tv industry.

I wonder whether one can strongly state that Apple hasn't bottomed when the Einhorn's scheme will all but prove you right if one just focuses on AAPL. Einhorn's solution is brilliant, imho. There is huge amount of money invested in fixed income sort of securities for having peace of mind. These guys won't buy AAPL whether it is yielding 4% or 5%. The reason is that there is fear that the underlying pricipal could go down. Now, if you separate AAPL from AAPL_DIV where AAPL stops giving dividends and AAPL_DIV which is a higher class of security for than AAPL gives 4% dividend, many new people might want to place money into AAPL_DIV. Furthermore, if you give each holder of AAPL some AAPL_DIV, then they could sell AAPL_DIV and keep AAPL. In such a case, AAPL will go lower - however, a current holder of AAPL will probably come out ahead. This is a brilliant scheme. I don't know why MSFT, INTC, AAPL, CSCO don't follow it. The trick is to get new class of money into the company.
