Steve Jobs is dieing...SHORT APPLE NOW!

Quote from Larson:

Have you forgotten that Jobs brought Apple back from the graveyard after Scully?

He's a business genius, that's for sure.

But Apple doesn't need the whole rollercoaster thing. Huge successes that then turn in failures. It happened with their computers, it's happening right now with the Ipods and the Apple Store, it is starting with the Iphone... the same schema just repeats itself over and over and Jobs doesn't learn.
Iphone had the potential to turn into a Microsoft-like monopoly and it won't. And Jobs has a huge part of responsability in this relative failure.

iPhone a monopoly? Right.

5Y: AAPL +350%. MSFT +10%:

Well, do you think maybe they are rushing these products to market in order to annihilate their competition, causing occasional execution problems? People love their products for some reason and if it is slowing them down, I don't see it, yet. I am still kicking myself for not buying at 100.

CNBC will be hyping AAPL in pre-market, which will create some definite whipsaw action at the open.

Also, AAPL has earnings after the bell on Tuesday, which will add even more volatility.

Either way, get ready for a wild trading day on AAPL...

Let me come back on here and let you in on something for your own good. It is a crime to make a terrorist threat. A terrorist threat is a threat to commit violence communicated with the intent to terrorize

The above is your response to the poster who said, "what I would give for 30 seconds in the ring with you." Breaking news: Boxers enter the ring voluntarily to try to beat the snot out of each other. The poster was speculating what it would be like to compete with you in a legal sporting event. So wipe those tears away and don't be afraid.

Is that where your posting from? I didn't know wireless could go through those padded walls.

Job's vision is "my way or the highway". He never allowed his products to inter-connect with the "lesser beings" such as IBM, Microsoft and Google products.
Apple always manages to come with the killer product that is a phenomenal success for a few years. And then the other brands collaborate and catch up and gradually take over the market shares.

It happens EVERY time. And it is happening right now.

It is great enternainment in my eyes.

When he dies I will short, and then I'll buy the dip LOLLLL. Finally, a decent entry into AAPL shares.

Now is the time to short APPLE!!! I have great respect for Steve Jobs. In tribute to Jobs, I am going to short a bunch of Apple on Monday. I think this is it. Steve Jobs has made his last Iphone. From here on, its time to short short short...

Such bad taste. Only good thing about your post is given your track record making forecasts he might live.

( you shorted AAPL at $295 already, how did that work out ?
I suspect you'll lose money on this short as well,
for sure if you do so before 10 am you'll be in the red
by Wednesday noon )
