What kind of FUD is this crap: "Lone man waits in empty line for iPad mini" Of course, they conveniently leave out that it's 24 hours prior, and that travel conditions are horrible. I'm thinking most people understand that. I didn't take it as FUD, but just a slightly ironic title for an article marveling at the fact that there is a line at all. A story of perseverance was what was intended, I think.

So you see another leg down, eh? If we break through the 200-day SMA, what is left to bounce off? Hard to say. All I am looking for is a decent capitulation with lots of volume in a short space of time. So far we've not had it, so I am wary of any move up as that will only be seen as another opportunity to lighten up. Completely agree. There has not been an OMG moment yet. Although most of us are scared sh@$less and have been for weeks. Really sucks. I think they are driving down those January options. And, there will be some huge dive and that will end it. Until that happens, for the next few days, we could be range bound. Bleeding.... I have a notation in one of my notebooks from one of iPad's groups run by Avi. The notation says in relation to AAPL: Top in September, bottom in beginning of November. Rally hard through 1st quarter of 2013. Back up the truck in early November for 5x." I made the note on September 11. So far, he's been spot on. Looking for that bottom in November. But...as always...who knows? We may continue to flounder indefinitely. FYI....

Well, I guess NZ sales aren't going to do much to reach the Piper Jaffray estimate, since only 200 units were provided. Not too happy to hear: "Few people lined up outside a retail store in New Zealand Friday, but even so, the country was running low on stock." Where are the bulk of sales coming from, besides the US? Those 200 units were to a single retailer. No idea how big a retailer that is, but it wasn't Apple, and Apple stores are definitely favored in the allocation of initial releases. There are no apple stores here in New Zealand. Dick smith has a large amount of small stores. Note that New Zealand only has a population of 4.4 million, probably the smallest launch country, so including online preorders I wouldn't expect more than 5.000-10,000 units shipped here this weekend.
