From the front lines, with this war between Apple and Samesong, we have Horace Dediu reporting from Chosun, Korea |

Wait, Robert kicked people off Braeburn? Really? He actually does not kick you out, just bans you from posting. He banned me because I was posting too much here...This statement is false. Robert and I remain in contact, embrace our common members, and mutually support each other's endeavors. To be clear, Ovi / Sponge was banned from Braeburn for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with his posts here in this forum. |

While not caring at all for the real reason: I was concerned that affiliation with such seemingly helpful, informative, amusing people such as yourself and other members would lead to persona non grata in the wider realm :-) |

I'm glad PED is fully engaged on all of these anti-Apple campaigns. It's good journalism and he is clear about the premise from which he starts the discussions.
As for Doug Kass' "gnome high above the Alps" ( whatever that means) its simply today's way to whisper and deceive. Fair warning all, and good job Phillip!

What's your favorite Apple investor news aggregator? I'd been using Apple Investor News but their feed has become dominated by crap from Business Insider so I'm looking for a new site.

I am a twitererererrrr. I have built "lists" for all things AAPL and Apple as well as other interests. I have blocked feeds from BI and all things blodgett, but occasionally one link slips through. BRIAN has a nice daily update. |

On iOS, I like to use Zite. It lets you black list sources, which I have done with Business Insider. It is not an aggregator in the traditonal sense, but it is a decent substitute. |

Robert is an accommodating host, and you have to work real hard to get banned over there. Posting in both forums is not frowned upon or discouraged in any way. Several of us do both. |

Perhaps it was the content of the posts and not the posts themselves...

To be clear, Ovi / Sponge was banned from Braeburn for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with his posts here in this forum. Well that it is not how I understood it. My last phone conversation with him after telling him I was taking a break from Braeburn, he clearly was not happy with my posting here. In February I told him I was not happy with a few posters there and I needed a break. He said OK. Suddenly he took away my access. When I asked him why, his response was that I was no longer posting. But he spend most of his time focused on my posts and activity here. Like I said. He is selective about his inclusion into the group and not always fair. It has 345 members but only a handful post. Most posts come from three members who constantly harass any bullish posters. I was the king of the bulls and their biggest target. Such is the politics and drama of forums. |

Back to regular programing.
The market is down and aapl has become a safe haven. That inverse relationship to GOOG continues.
Transferred cash from Roth IRA and will have ready for deployment. The question now is weather I buy before earnings or after earnings.

The question now is weather I buy before earnings or after earnings. If you're confident about your EPS estimate, it seems your decision would be made for you. But there's nothing wrong with caution when a stock drops $300 for reasons far less to do with Apple than the stock market and media. |

A whisper campaign in politics is sometimes more affective then just regular advertising. Samsung is obviously using those tactics. However these are the tactics used when you are weak or about to lose. So I think Samsung is seeing the writing on the wall. They will continue to spend big bucks on bashing Apple via ads, but this campaign is done to supplement what I see is a decrease in regular ads for the future. This will go one for awhile. The challenge they have with Apple is that its products actually adored by its customers. So the battle is for new customers. Those new customers may buy Samsung first, but after a few years will switch. Remember the Droid? |

But even with good numbers, WS may come up with an excuse to continue to punish the stock. Oct and Jan come to mind. I may just use half of it tomorrow depending on how the stock reacts. |

Looks like AAPL held the gap up after the bewitching hour of 10:30am.

What did you mean by 13.5%? of total? trading account? When aapl was at 705, between my stock on margin and a few Jan800 calls I had 100% or maximum value. Since then after losing about $160k in bad options and another $15k from being forced to sell due to margin calls, I only had 13.5% left at 390 from 100% at 705. That is the risk of options and margin. If aapl were to move to 800 in the next 10 months and I kept buying all the way up, I will be made whole again. However I am patient and it may take a few years before I recover my loses. Like I have said before. It is only money and I don't rely on this for my daily expenses. I am confident Apple as a company is stronger then ever. We will recover like we did in 2005, 2008, 2009, and 2011. I think we will recover by end of the year in a dramatic fashion. |

As I've stated before, I'm not concerned about tomorrow's report, as much as I'm concerned about the market's reaction. I am not trading until Wednesday, and not trade until next Monday. I'm waiting in an effort to discern which way the wind blows before doing anything. The last 3 months have convinced me that the market is totally ignorant, and I'll not buck that trend any longer without clear evidence that the ignorati have been supplanted by smarter traders. |

It's been a good day so far. AAPL is up, and I finally discovered how to skip songs on my iphone using the earbud controler. Of course AAPL moving up is going to make a bigger impact upon my life... I hope.

Did I interpret that chart correctly, by assuming that the only carrier that didn't list iPhone #1 doesn't offer the iPhone? |
