Hello Apple Faithful, IMHO what a cool day for AAPL, while everything with tech or tron or soft or tel in it's name was bleeding red blood profusley, AAPL was up most of the day and finished unchanged. Rock Solid Babeeee! And look at this glorious chart: quote.yahoo.com Is that the sweetest double spike bottom at 13 you ever saw. This is the kind of chart bottoming pattern that commodity traders yearn for. And AAPL finally profitable after oooh so many quarters - miracles do happen, my prayers have been answered -ggggg-. Shorts next week prepare for the Sword of Damocles, it hangs over yours and Softs head when the DOJ and Reno - bust Billy's bubble -ggg- bwdik - I'm an Apple fan, the Rodney Dangerfield set of computing -gggg-

Hey Alomex, how is your baby Corel doing? Last time I check it lost about 80% of it's value, year-to-date. Apple is actually slightly above it's year-to-date level. "Admitting your error seems to be above you...." Keep those hot picks up bud!

>Which illustrates perfectly how severely delussional some Apple followers are.< Lighten up, dude. > I called this stock down all the way from $40 to $13, but in soup's little fantasy-world, Apple has done great all this years.< Well, I think I enjoyed using Apple products a lot more than the DOS/Win 3.1/'95 users I know. > In his world of fairies ...< You leave my fairies out of this! >... loyal customers and advanced operating systems that are not upgraded in eight years... < So, the OS8 upgrade didn't account for 33% of all OS sales in 1997, Huh... Huh? >I'm a contrarian indicator. I'm sure you have plenty of money on that World.< I was going to add a ":)" to my "put" comment, but I thought you'd get the joke without it. >On the real one, which is the one the rest of us inhabit, I was bearish and you were bullish. The stock moved from $40 to $13. ... < And you've gotten filthy rich by backing up that opinion with shorts and puts? >Admitting your error seems to be above you ...< Assuming, I'm deleriously "right" now about what's going on with AAPL company/products/stock, having been bullish for so long does indeed makes me de facto "wrong" (regardless of what happens in the future.) [Off-topic: What I was really dumb about was my overweighting of emerging markets last year. Ouch.] However in my defense, I paraphrase Peter Lynch -- "All my best ideas seemed to work out in the third and fourth years." My current perception of events as they are unfolding dictates that a) I hold a core position long-term, b) take some profits on short covering spikes, c) add to my position on news-less weakness. soup
