<<< I did not like what I saw on the SEC fillings>>> Would you please explain? heavy insider selling? Personally I think Steve Jobs will like the stock go lower because he will get a lower strike price on couple million shares option. AAPL mgmt created a lot of positive atmosphere in the past couple months because they needed shareholders approval for those proposals. I expect AAPL have a wild ride in the next 12 months. Big drop in short term --> Jobs get the option at much lower price --> some positive news drive up the price dramatically and he sells option at much higher price. There is nothing wrong with Steve Jobs for doing that. I don't have any opinion against him. Hey, everyone's goal is making money, right? Why are you in the stock market? Good luck!
