Eric This has nothing to do with being a snob, and everything to do with trying to foster a forum for intelligent discussion, I embrace all comments, whether positive or negative, concerning apple AS LONG AS THEY ARE INTELLIGENT AND RATIONAL. The stuff that gets my goat is sell this dog its going to $5, or go apple go its going to $50. There are many venues for posts such as this already on the web, I'm, as a paying member, just trying to keep SI a useful and productive resource. Shorts are welcome, longs are welcome, members are welcome, newbies are welcome, freebies are welcome as long as they offer timely and intelligent discourse. That is the last you'll here from me on the subject. Lets get this thread back to the matters at hand - information that affects the price of Apple Computer! DL

Here's my amateur attempt at TA for AAPL. This stock has hit the proverbial 'wall'. It has also hit the proverbial 'floor.' My sense is that we've hit an equilibrium point similar to the one we hit in Sept-Oct 97, after the stock had settled down from the Microsoft announcement. At that time, the stock traded between $22 and $24. We're in the same pattern now, trading between $26 and $28. By equilibrium I mean that the market, as a whole, thinks that this is roughly the right price for AAPL, until further news. The fall 97 equilibrium cracked when Apple announced a loss for Q4, followed by the broader market mini-crash, followed by the over-hyped Nov 10 announcement, followed by tax-loss selloff, all of which conspired to push it down to $13. In the same way, I don't see AAPL's price changing significantly, either up or down, until further news comes out. The earnings report on the 15th is the biggie, and that should determine whether we see $25 or $30 first. rhet0ric

As for discouraging us shorts from posting,too bad.Last time I checked this is still America and the first amendment hasn't been appealed. I have been watching this debate between the longs and shorts and thought I'd put in my two cents. I've been a Silicon Investor member for awhile, and I read this and other threads often. I've also been long AAPL for some time. I post very infrequently because I have nothing of substance to add beyond what more knowledgable AAPL threadmembers (such as Phil, Eric, etc.) post. I could fill people's bandwidth with "GO AAPL", "Its going to $100!!!" posts, but its discourteous and adds nothing to the discussion. I have absolutely nothing against shorts posting substantive notes that may add to my information base and help me decide what to do with my investment. However, what I've seen from most of the shorts have been posts of the "AAPL sucks!!!" variety, with little substantively added as to why they believe that. Or if anything of substance, they tend to repeat it OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I feel that its discourteous and transparent, and I'd appreciate shorts AND longs without new information to join us lurkers and read the posts of those with information. If it's so important to see your names on the screen, find another venue. JB

<<Don't be such a snob David.I've been a member since '96,and they don't bother me.As for discouraging us shorts from posting,too bad.Last time I checked this is still America and the first amendment hasn't been appealed.This stock has hit the proverbial 'wall'.I'll entertain any wagers that we see 25 before 30.Any takers?>> I find your position theoretically plausible. However, it is not practical. I've been waiting for this stock to drop significantly for a couple of weeks now (with the hope of getting back in at a good price before the next increase) but to absolutely no avail!!! The stock's base simply seems to be too strong. 30 before 25, without a doubt (unfortunately for me).
