Apple: Greatest Consumer Technology Company in the World?

"Analysts are expecting the company to earn $6.50 next year."

If Apple is guiding to $1.35 per share in the holiday quarter, don't you think those estimates will come down considerably?

Apple Valuations: Still at Risk

It doesn't matter if AAPL sells off tomorrow or not. If Apple guides lower than street consensus, the stock is going to take another hit on Wednesday.

Cash Position Best for Apple Investor

Where are all the haters now? This blog post has been up for an hour and we have yet to see a fanboy ripping Zach apart over his "cash over AAPL" blog.

Say what you want about Zach's posts over the past few weeks, but you should see now he was right. It's not that he doesn't like Apple. But he saw the reality of what was coming. Fundamentals, brisk iPhone sales and packed Apple stores don't mean a d@mn thing in this market. It's all going down. AAPL is not immune to this.

Citi in Talks With Wachovia as $700B Bailout Plan Moves Forward

Correct me if I'm wrong, but $250B + $100B + $250B = $600B.

Where is the other $100B going? These politicians don't think we won't notice that, do they?

Now What for Apple Investors?

Why is Zach short? Because he likes to make money, possibly?

Why do all you fanboys come on here criticizing him every time? You guys hate dissenting voices. Just stay away from this blog if it bothers you that much.

You also have the mistaken notion that AAPL should be performing well in this market. It's a consumer stock, and things just don't look good for the consumer right now, in case you hadn't noticed. So stocks like this pay for that.

Dow 'Dirty Dozen' Offers High Yields and Good Value

Yawn. You guys will be here in another 6 months predicting the "inevitable" cut in Bank of America's dividend. Meanwhile, I'll continue to collect $0.64 per share every three months.

Thanks for the laughs.

Solar Breaks Oil Price Dependence

So much for that. Oil is capitulating today and taking the solar sector down with it. Pretty much all of the major solar stocks are down in the neighborhood of 5%. Every time somebody says that alternative energy stocks have become independent of crude oil, it's proven otherwise within weeks if not days. There is a misguided notion that we will not need these alternative energy sources if oil is cheap.

Solar Stocks After Earnings: Suntech Up, ReneSola Down

SOL has appreciated quite nicely over the last few weeks. There was a sell-off on the news immediately after the earnings release, but it has since gained back all it lost and looks poised to go even higher. You don't provide any compelling reasons to choose STP over SOL other than what happened to each stock the day after earnings. I'm not sure what your motive is here. Maybe you could provide a full disclosure???

Whole Foods Stock - Buy What You Know?

I can't disagree with anything you've said here. I like the store, but I don't like the stock at this price. There's no reason it should continue to enjoy premium multiples. They've guided to a buck per share, give or take a few cents. That means the stock is still trading well above the industry P/E average.

The company is now relegated to "show me" status as far as I'm concerned.

Predatory Banking Practices Undermining the U.S. Consumer

Also, it's ridiculous to state that the economy loses out on $30 billion due to this. The bank counts it as revenues, so it still ends up in the nation's GDP. We are ignoring basic macroeconomics principles here.

Predatory Banking Practices Undermining the U.S. Consumer

Why was this blog allowed to be linked to BAC's Yahoo quote page? I mean seriously, this is nothing short of crazy.

Regardless of what order the withdrawals/drafts are processed, the implication is that their are not sufficient funds in the checking account to cover all outstanding transactions. Whether you process larger or smaller amounts first has no effect on the end result: the person has overdrawn their account.

The bottom line (no pun intended) is that people need to manage their personal finances more wisely. The overdraft fees should serve as a motivational tool.

Apple: Expecting Short-Term Weakness

You certainly bring out the best in fanboys, Andy. LOL!

I hope you're right. I would love to buy shares at $120 or cheaper.

Apple Erases All of Post Earnings Losses

stay foolish, a dividend WOULD encourage long term investment. The lack of a dividend actually makes it more highly traded. If you want to receive dividends, you're probably not going to trade a stock.

Apple Erases All of Post Earnings Losses

If oil continues to unwind, AAPL may make another run at $200. There was good follow through today along with positive money flow.

AT&T Comments on Apple's 3G iPhone

They didn't have enough inventory to meet demand when the original iPhone launched. It's not surprising that they doubled the volume in the first 12 days this year. They probably would've have sold double what they did last year if the supply had existed.

My only point is that you should not take the comments at face value.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
