I have no issues with Ryan's participation. Right or wrong he is polite and annunciates his positions. Discussion topic parameter are well defined. If a thread bores you then start another - and do not respond to the threads you find suffocating.... they will wither away and die. This time last year the raging discussion was big screen vs small screen iPhone screens... myself being the advocate for the former. The entire board was disgusted at the concept of a larger screen iPhone, and before that laughed at a small screen iPad... etc. etc.... now all these things have come to pass and look whats happening to AAPL stock price. AAPL is no longer trying to dictate the market - they are responding and giving the market what it wants.... they are responding to the likes of Ryan. I see Ryans point of view as being a better relative understanding of the market and a somewhat good indicator of things to come...

All the more reason to put it into the thread rules:) ... I am tiring of this seemingly endless series of circular discussions. I think banning their circular reasoning would be better than banning their circular discussions, but don't think either should be banned. If your suggestion was implemented (or if Annie's regarding dead horses), you'd have to be specific about what topics qualify, for there are many posters who repeat the topic of technical analysis, how well AAPL has performed, how great the iWatch, iPhone 6, CarPlay, and other devices will be, etc. Repetitive or not, it's useful to hear what they think. And to avoid the very topic of topics from becoming repetitive... let's discuss today's action, which couldn't be repetitive because today is the first May 29 2014 we've seen. AAPL performing nicely in an otherwise flat market, so investors clearly not minding the terms of the Beats deal (or perhaps they don't but the other news regarding release dates and such is overriding).
