      Should Apple Investors Feel Good About Yesterday's Rally?
      Yes! Apple investors (investors not traders) should feel good about yesterday's rally and the reasons and simple and obvious.

      Markets were oversold last Thursday and recovered on Friday. Apple did not participate in a significant way because of the hype around the BB Storm (the latest supposed 'iphone killer'), and the reported long lines at some Verizon stores for the Storm.
      News over the weekend suggested the Storm turned out not to be the 'iphone killer' after all, so Apple rallied on Monday on this and other positive speculation about strong Mac Book sales, and maybe some short covering.

      So, there you go; Apple investors should feel good, especially since the buy recommendations are starting to resurface.

      Can You See Apple Under $60?
      Obviously you would like to see AAPL at $60. Short selling is the main reason why investors have no confidence in any stock. Why should I buy stock when people like you are allowed to borrow it (WITHOUT MY PERMISSION) and short it?

      The first thing that needs to be done to restore the confidence of the retail investor is to BAN SHORT SALES OF ALL EQUITIES.

      Apple Analysis: When Leaders Don't Lead
      He doesn't get it. This is not about Apple; its about the economy and the markets. He has chosen AAPL as a prey and is just picking at it.

      Event with the 'poor' guidance AAPL should be at $120.

      How Low Will Apple Go?
      Nothing on this bog is of significant value to an Apple investor; this is a trader's blog and the comments expressed are people's options.

      I do not agree that the stock would plummet more if no guidance is offered. Any guidance will be subject to debate and uncertainty given the current market conditions.

      The CFO would be wise not to offer guidance for the next quarter. Why feed the vultures?

      Apple Fails to Deliver, and the Rally Fizzles
      What is it exactly that Apple failed to deliver? A gold plated laptop which runs all OS at blazing speed and priced at $499??

      Can Anything Displace the iPhone in Consumer's Eyes?
      In addition to the superior design, high quality, rich functionality and ease of use, there is basically just one iPhone product (color and storage aside).
      The other manufacturers have diluted their brand with a confusing array of too many models, and the phone you buy today will be an old model tomorrow. Eg. if I were to consider a Blackberry, do I get the Bold, Storm, or Thunder, and will the one I want now still be the one I want tomorrow.
      So, in my view the Iphone's appeal is obvious.

      Awaiting Apple Earnings and Guidance
      Apple shouldn't adjust their accounting to carter to analysts; they are too fickle a bunch.
      Today a couple of them upgraded RIMM because of the imminent launch of the BB Storm; no mention of the impact of the economy on consumer sending. At least of these analysts recently citied economic concerns as the reason for cutting AAPL.

      If the stock is expect to go lower, why would the company want to buy back stock at these prices?

      Apple already forecasted lower gross margins for 2009, and growth in the year in the current economy will not be at the levels of the past year.
      So, revenue growth should be expected to slow (even if unit growth is maintained) and earnings should be expected to shrink.

      Last year Apple reported $1.76/share earnings in Q1 when there the economy was is decent shape. The expectations of Apple guiding to to $1.74/share in the current Q1, given the current state of the economy is grossly unreasonable.

      Cash Position Best for Apple Investor
      If AAPL closes in positive territory today.........
      What, me worried? I don't bet my mortgage money in the stock market, I do not buy stocks on margin (painful lesson learnt after the dotcom bust), and my 2 German high-end autos were bought cash.
      So, no worries here.

      So, your advice on going to cash would have been timely in August, not now. I went 50% cash since early summer, so I can shop now!

      AAPL seems to be resisting further damage this afternoon; looks promising.
