We are knocking on the 470 door. Look for my usual 2:13 P.M. EDT return from lunch push....

That's a lot not to consider. All the use stats paint an entirely different picture.

There are lots of cheap (I mean pitifully cheap-constructed and priced) tablets out there which are counted equally against iPad and it's not a very smart comparison. Another false read from "market share" analysis.

So nice to see GOOG and AMZN red. Hopefully this is evidence of rotation into our under appreciated stock. AMZN isn't going to report anything of interest until next earnings, so why would new money go there? GOOG, same thing.
Apple has the bases loaded with new product and it will be swinging for the fences shortly.

AAPL was obviously a safer buy at 388 (ah, the power of 20/20 hindsight), and the elevation is higher, but I gotta say, the bulls are still in charge so far. Newton's third law of motion, sorta?

They suck. yes but when did that ever matter? I was merely trying to be irrational in an irrational market. But I am happy to see that my stubbornness is finally paying off.

Another false read from "market share" analysis. I understand all the angles but I am concerned about those that just need a pc replacement device with a decent ecosystem and cheap internet chromecast device to their tv's. Once sucked in then a android phone is next. Customer is lost. The competition is hot for the consumer at least.

Not a guru (though I will do kindergarten charts later), but the close looked pretty solid to me!

Wwwwhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmm. I was hoping for something a little more detailed. You know, resistance and support and higher highs and higher lows and bollinger bands and entrails of a goat kind of stuff.

Don't need the eyes to glass over. 'WHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is fairly concise, gives enough information, and doesn't provoke any fights on this board.

This isn't the right attitude to have. This the same thing we have witnessed in the smartphone market. Samsung's large unit sales were largely dismissed because Apple had some 75% of the profit of the market. Now it's closer to 50%, and trending down (hopefully the new upcoming products put an end to this). Samsung out-earned Apple in the most recent quarter, which a dramatic change from the past when they were well behind. It looks like the same thing is happening in the tablet market. If Apple continues to bleed share, their share of the profits are going to inevitably slip. A redesigned iPad and a retina iPad Mini need to come out ASAP.

I was going to respond to this, but clearly no amount of responses, no matter how well grounded in research and facts, is going to sway those that ignore facts in favor of shallow headlines and reporting. Back to lurk mode.

Horace Dediu and MG Siegler are having a bizarre Twitter discussion about Bezos' "brilliant plan" to not make money. MG Siegler was a bit of a fan of Bezos last I checked (recall that Kindle Fire preview deal as well), so the "endorsement" isn't unexpected, assuming Siegler's actually being serious. But gimme a break.
Why shouldn't Apple find all the legal ways it can to shrink its net income to almost nothing and go for amazing scale and share with no profit dollars to show for it? "Manage" zero profit like Amazon? Oh, that's right. Because _its_ share price would utterly tank. And because Amazon's "sustainability" appears to be predicated on basically zero profit. If Amazon tried to "turn the profit dial", what would happen to revenue growth?
Of course, shorting AMZN continues to be tough as hell. That decisive break below 300 didn't happen, so I had to use one of my "day trade without being branded a FINRA pattern day trader" cards to sell my puts with enough capital gain for a few tacos. Yay me.
