If earnings are good this quarter, we won't see 13 again for a long time, if ever. I can assure you, aapl will sink to 15 again someday over the next six quarters. IMO, it's a safe gamble for the next six months. But you should be satisfied to take profits in the low 30s. IF it reaches the low 30s. . . I set my target there, and now I'm going soft on it. There's a huge wall of resistance at 29. I'll be overjoyed to get out if it punches through. Long-Term, though, the company will thrive, and continue to make me money on its many dips and dives. . . The "short" conspiracy is one of the wildest theories I've yet seen here. The latest sell-off is due to smaller, long-time aapl investors losing their nerve. . . L.G.

If earnings are good this quarter, we won't see 13 again. So, we don't buy it again. Besides, how could you be so sure the earnings will be good next quarter? If the earnings is bad the next quarter, the stock will quickly drop below 13 and we have buying opportunity again. It is more likely the earnings will be bad the next quarter as it happened before, with big charges for many quarters and hardly shows one quarter positive earnings and AAPL fans got excited. But, more disappointed earnings coming back again and again. You may say that Steve Jobs is different, he can lead AAPL out of red for ever, don't bet on that. He is good at lifting stock price not lifting the company. As you can see AAPL market share is shrinking after he effectively take control. If he can be sure the company can grow under his leadership, why he doesn't want to be CEO of AAPL?
