There's volatility this week, for sure.
We'll see if I can get any cash flow out of it. At least this time I'm on the same side of the betting line as you and Chas (hedged net long).
Late September through October, the hedges are (mostly) off, except for maybe earnings. It's gonna be a fantastic news, products AND fundamentals season. iPad mini, if we get it, will just be the icing on the cake.

What excites me about the iPhone 5 is how cool the iPad 4 will be in 7 months.

iPad 3/whatever they end up calling it should be pretty damn sweet. Apple will have the benefit of power savings on CPU and display, and it's "time" for a new enclosure.
iPad 3 should also be more than a match for current-gen gaming consoles, and the irony goes on and on and on...

iPad are we staying here until you give us the heads up that the other site has been fixed/modified ? Please advise. I will assume to just post here unless you say otherwise. Meanwhile - every article I have read this weekend has been incredibly positive... hopefully the week will reflect it. Don't know if we will see any word out of Apple but a spokesperson already came out to say that the demand even blew them away and I believe someone here also posted it. This Thursday - Sept. 20th - I believe is the Injunction Hearing...not positive, but if someone else knows please share. Also, I'm hoping that starting Thursday we start to get reports about what some are suggesting may be incredible lines at the Apple stores. Should be an interesting week. Good luck to all!

I'm going to post here until the functionality is back at AFB1. Since I'm a moderator there, I will still do basic stuff there.
Everyone can decide what he/she wants to do individually, and when the time comes, as a group.
For myself, I just couldn't deal with the lack of functionality and the community (and our content) falling apart while we waited. But I don't want to make choices for others.
I originally pulled this place together as a Band-Aid, but I must admit that the relative ease of "getting things done" the way I want has been refreshing.

After reading the following thread, if this site dies, I am never going back to AFB. I am a minor league poster compared to others here, but I refuse to patronize people who are arrogant enough to behave this way. Who do these people think they are? Long live AFB2. www.macobserver.com/tmo/forums/viewthread/85048/

What that should tell you is that the people in charge did not want to do what was requested because they feel they know best. You put together a site in a very short time that is user-friendly. Draw your own conclusions, but other sites are always driven by money goals, this one is not. The $7 per 50k views is a no-brainer to me for the group to stay here. Heck, not even sure why I am giving my input, its not like I will be around long.

LOL, the link takes you to a post that is not the real smoking gun. Scroll down to where Mr. Chaffin tells Mercel to get over himself and not let the door hit him in the ass. I joined the AFB in early 2007, made a lot of friends, built a network almost. The AFB became a cesspool. I moved on. The admins over at the Macobserver are full of themselves, ALL of them. One of the most annoying things ever was the rampant multiple personalities. Hopefully Love will have better luck here. You guys do whatever you want, but Mercel since he joined has been a valuable member of the AFB, for him to be dismissed is unforgivable. You guys do not need TMO, you have a better alternative. Lovey's Place. I would change the name though because I would not put it past those guys to try and get this site shut down.

Mark - hope you stick around here. I think you bring a lot to the table. Exciting times at Apple right now. Lots of money to be made for all of us. This community can be great if we let it.

Hey, it's just about perfect as it is now. I'm liking our transplanted community.
Kinda interesting how Fitz's video actually seemed a little light on technicals, even for his Free Chart vids. Then again, he's pretty much repeating what we here at AFB already know - iPhone 5 and maybe iPad Air will combine with iPad to create a truly insane holiday quarter. It's just a question of when everyone else latches onto the AAPL story and whether macro will remain mostly benign to equities.

It's more than a little unfriendly. Sure, Mercel is a bit of an edgy-posting sort (who really really needs to get ClicktoFlash or something stat), but Bryan just ran in there and tackled him. Disproportionate response to "bush league", IMHO.
I've been with TMO forums longer than most any active member, and I posted from the times Bryan posted. I can't understand this near-hostility. TMO management are generally pretty nice folks.
