How many have changed their recommendation on AAPL? Since April 15, one? Since Jan. 15, two, or three? You raise an interesting point. I'll look into it. Shorts are seeing what they perceive as a wonderful shorting opportunity. A looser MSFT competitor hitting its 52 week high. Granted that characterization is an oversimplification, but it represents the viewpoint expressed time and again by the market majority. HerbVic _____ It is indeed possible that shorts are keeping this stock down, but after so many analysts changing their recommendation on Apple why would they do that?
