Update from today:
AAPL nosedived from $524-ish down to $519, literally in a matter of seconds this afternoon for no logical reason, and stayed around there for the rest of the day.
I had a stack of puts I got when it was at $530 (for absolutely no reason) so I sold them when it was down $518. This is one of the most erratic stocks I watch, even more jittery than a lot of the biotech stuff I like to work with.
Apple still has it's brand power but cook is certainly not making the best of it. It's fading quicker than many people notice...and Icahn keeps spamming press releases hoping to get people to drive it up to $550+ even when there's no reason for it to be north of $500 right now.

Quote from Humpy:
Apple is a classic case of THE MAN leaving the company ( ok dying then ), It could go from top co. to a second rate plodder if another top man can't be found.
Same happened to Microsoft and others.
So the moral of the story is invest in the - "best people's" - companies. Tim Cook is looking decidely of mediocre talent. Just dressing like Steve Jobs is not good enough.
