But you're not investing in the company at all unless you bought IPO or 
new issuance.  You're merely a shareholder.  You've gotten "in to" what 
someone else has gotten "out of".

Your reason above is not a great reason to buy Apple.  Oh, a few shares 
to have skin in the game is OK.  But investing should be goal based 
(conserve/store wealth or grow wealth).

IOW: You become a "shareholder" but you're not an "investor" unless it's 
at IPO time or on the issuance of new stock.

Whatever. I'm glad I don't have to get your approval for my investment 
decisions.

Just presenting the reality of it.  Investments should not be emotion based.

Now you're claiming to know my investment strategy is emotion based. 
Nice. Step off, Alan.

On that basis you're the idiot who invests over "loving products" and 
not "strictly for the money".  Really.  Not a dime you invested ever 
found its way to Apple.  It only went to whoever sold the stock that you 
bought.

You have nothing more than the itsiest bitsiest tiniest inkling about my 
investment habits precisely because I have told you very little of them; 
and despite this absence of evidence, like a good little turd, you make 
wide-ranging assumptions and speculations (something most turds are no 
good at, BTW) about it. But you truly have no fucking idea. So eat shit, 
you pompous know-it-all turd. Your words are nothing but hot air in the 
wind. They are forgotten and discarded with all the rest of the hot air, 
as it should be. Now fuck off.

No, Apple doesn't need to worry about it at all. They could pump the
price up just by buying 10,000,000 shares for $4,500,000,000. That would
still leave them enough in cash reserves to buy... I dunno, Disney or
Amazon.

The concept JF Mezei can't seem to grasp here is there is a distinct 
difference between a company's actual performance and a company's stock 
valuation. And the two aren't always related. In fact, in today's fucked 
up market, I'd go so far as to say they are OFTEN not related. A company 
that changes business direction based on stock price is doomed.

Apparently nobody taught you the meaning of the phrase "long-term" when 
you were a child. Relax, we're giggling at you, not with you - oh wait.

It probably doesn't matter to those who can't see past their own noses. 
For me, it matters because I'm not in this for 12 seconds and then out 
again to make a quick buck. Unlike those people, I'm not in this purely 
for the money. I believe this company has the right mix to continue 
making products I love and the world loves - and success will follow. 
All of the silly things reactionary people and Wall Street speculators 
do in the short term simply don't have much of an effect on Apple's 
long-term strategies - nor should they. Nor do they have a significant 
effect on my long-term investment strategies - as it should be.

What that clearly says is that last year's first quarter was a week 
longer than this year's.

Apparently the margin hit is due to lower margins on the iPad mini. I 
prefer to interpret that as extending the scope of the iPad market, and 
thus the market share of the tablet market.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

AND ... what people consistently overlook is that this has all been
achieved through one of the worst global recessions in living memory.
When the economies start to pick up, Apple's products are the products
everyone is dreaming of buying. People who talk about saturation are
deluded. Even the trends on the Mac will, I believe, start to reverse
when there is more money and people actively want a beautiful desktop
machine to go with their iPad or iPhone.
