Slacker,

I am about to put the ole ignore on Ryan. He is singing the exact same tune (doomsday for Apple) when he bought put options in the $420 range. He just keeps harping about the same thing.

For Apple to go to $200 would basically mean sales would plummet 50-60% and the whole world no longer wanting to buy Apple products.

They will earn far more than $20 a share shipping 150 million iPhones and ~50m iPads as a steady state scenario.



Market share in that scenario will look worse even worse when you factor in the growth of the smartphone market. In a year or 2, 150M iPhones won't even represent 10% of the smartphone market, so applying this tactic of "business as usual," (eg, Apple stubbornly chooses not to lower ASP to counter market share loss), they would dwindle to sub-10% niche (premium) status, like they have with the Mac.

And despite that, they will make the same as what they make now: $40/sh.
