You refuse to let go of the past. The more you are rebuffed, the more likely you are to dig in your heels, even in the face of sound logic. This stock moved exactly as I predicted, down from $43 to $13. Not a single Apple bull here changed their opinion along the way. Then, when Apple showed signs of strength in January I was the first bear here to upgrade Apple from sell to neutral. Yet, in VicAppl's mind I'm stubborn and y'all are examples of open mindedness. Sorry, but that is bull (no pun intended), plain and simple. And while you may or may not have been right about your predictions of the last three years, I'm afraid they have no relevance for me. That is exactly what defines an Apple fanatic. The ability to shut off the facts. "They have no relevance to you". If there were two doctors in town, one of which always cured its patients, the other always killed them, you would care. Yet when it comes to Apple, all the wrong predictions from Apple bulls and all the correct predictions from Apple bears are "irrelevant". Nearly every argument you made in your post to me was phrased in the past tense. And to my mind, that is significant. It sure is. In your rush to judgement you didn't noticed that the First Bank of Alomex upgraded this company from sell to neutral, precisely because of those reasons. As to the significance of the OS to the stock, well, honestly, hasn't that been done to death? Yes, and so? Don't you think you're being the least bit disingenuous by saying that? Saying what? I say that Win95 has caught up (overall and roughly speaking) with MacOS (at least up to version 7.x). I stand by that comment, and it is not disingenuous in the least bit.
