"One analyst was being interviewed about the practice of using options for insurance, and he used AAPL as an example of a company that might be back in the low 30s since CIBC Oppenheimer had just downgraded, and suggested options as a hedge." Actually, the guy being interviewed was from CIBC Oppenheimer.

I LOVE this guy: In an interview, though, Mr. Jobs argued that most consumer buying is concentrated in the $1,000 range because those computers contain the enhanced features that customers want. "The products you get down below that are junk," he said. Go get 'em, Steve! Mark

Re: CIBC Oppenheimer downgrades issue from "hold" to "underperform." I just wanted to make one more post, this one to CIBC Oppenheimer. Not that I think they follow this thread, or even have the time to. It appears they are quite busy these days. No, it is my hope that someone who follows this thread knows someone at CIBC Oppenheimer and will pass it along. Just three little known quotes: "So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" --Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer. "Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." --Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929. "Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it." --I can't remember. COVER THEM SHORTS, B-A-B-Y! HerbVic
