Oh, I'm not upset. I just enjoy watching HerboVic and other "I only want to hear Pollyanna" folks get upset. When the stock hits the rocks, I will be screaming BUY BUY!. I like to ride the rollercoaster both ways.

I think it's an interesting aspect of human nature that people get wedded to a stock/company. It's even worse with Apple. I would guess that most of the small position holders (under 10K shares) are Apple cultists - can't stand to hear anything negative. It's just fun to get their blood pressure up. I actually saw one poster say that he always held 200 shares for sentimental reasons. I don't know about you, but I don't own any "sentimental" stock.

Actually, a thread already exists for AAPL shorts, and their tall tales:

Subject 16405

It's been abandoned since December '97, as its residents all perished so tragically in the Great Winter Squeeze of '98.
