Carl Icahn is on CNBC, prodding AAPL to buy back shares, and even borrow money at 3%.

AAPL board will be wise not to listen to those crazy suggestions - borrowed money must be paid back and the problem AAPL has is a new exciting product line. Looking in the back-mirror is great, and the market tells us something that the great days of AAPL are in the past,.

I know Carl Icahn and how he operates, he is in this for a quick gain and then out of the stock. His investment time horizon is much shorter than a hi tech product cycle.

All that AAPL should agree is to be ready to write puts on the stock and collect premiums. But it will be very foolish to borrow money to buy back stock and in essence buy Carl Icahn stock holdings in AAPL
