    Selling Apple Short A Good Idea?

    Steve Jobs was the visionary and the face of Apple - I can't see the company maintaining the wave of trendsetting technology without him. So that eventually has to mean Apple returns to earth along with its stock value.

    Yes? No?
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

    While Johnny Ive and Tim Cook remain I would bet that Apple will still stay the brand that everyone else wants to be.

      no it will continue to grow as long as iSheople are allowed to breed. I have a few nephews that are 5 and 9. They both have their own ipad minis. A year or so ago I was on my android phone and the older one asked me if that was a iphone.. When I told him what I had he rolled his eyes like my phone was junk and he couldn't be bothered. Both of their parents are iphone owners.

      Just look at the buzz over the iphone 5.5" phone. They make it sound like there hasn't been 5.5" phones for the last few years..

            I think it's too early for shorting apple at least for long term.
            but you can always gamble and buy some cheap PUT options for like 6 months from now.
            Yep

                I would not short Apple. I have made a lot of money holding apple over the years, I have sold portions when it was high and bought back later when it was low. Unless you are putting a large sum of money in when it is really high and have read something in a press releases or somehwere that it is going to drop, i would hold IMO

                  Twitter and Facebook are going to be must better shorts when the market corrects. Problem is how far are the tards going to take this market? I have already lost way too much money trying to short some of these stocks thinking the market had topped. I may be shorting FB and TWTR this week in anticipation for an October sell off. I just gotta get the balls to do it. I would also love to short Panera Bread PNRA because I used to love that place but now fucking hate that overpriced medium quality shithole since it is turning into McDonalds. However I am not going to do it since TWTR is a much much more inflated stock.

                      Apple shorts are too rich and risky for my blood.

                      Rather just bet $200 on Delta Outlaw in the 4th at Monmouth today.

                      At least I know the risk both upside and downside.

                          Good call. Panera has now declared itself a gun-free zone.

                              Clearly, it's the market that's wrong, not you. Blindly hating on Apple has become just as lame as blindly loving them.

                                Watching Bloomberg Mornings, they're reporting Apple may have underestimated initial demand for the iPhone 6.

                                So I guess it must really suck

                                    You have to say it might be harder for them to grow from here.

                                          Ok I shorted Twitter TWTR today and since I usually lose money you guys should go long. . If this turd falls to 35 I can make back all the money I lost this year shorting Facebook.

                                              Not yet.

                                              Although I do believe they are losing their interest in the expense of innovation and to some extent are flogging what will eventually be a dead horse.

                                              However they did sell 10 million phones last week, and even I bought a 6+ and it is indeed the best phone that Apple has yet produced.

                                              So not yet.

                                                Apple is just barely carving out its niche in China. I say hold or buy... there is no way there is a short coming

                                                      i've always hated apple products, i just don't try to justify it with bullshit like how you just did...


                                                      oh and as for an investment? No, same reason why its risky to invest short term, tech stocks bounce all over the place and are very hard to predict, especially when 'cool' is a factor.

                                                            It goes far beyond the size of the screen. The ease-of-use, app quality, user flow, and overall user experience is awesome. Tat what makes people love their products, not the size of the screen or the speed of the processor.

                                                              If apple will have to recall all those problematic "bending" iPhone 6, then we might see Apple go down to 85-90$ in the next few weeks

                                                                  but you can always gamble and buy some cheap PUT options for like 6 months from now.

                                                                  good post.

                                                                                            Here's some proof once again why Apple Rocks:

                                                                                            About 6 weeks ago I swapped the hard drive in my now 5 year old Apple iMac27" for an SSD drive and installed the latest Yosemite Operating System on it (Free upgrade, btw).

                                                                                            IT had been working well up until Tuesday when suddenly my computer started freezing up on me, about once a day or so. This had never happened before.

                                                                                            With nothing responding at all, I had to power it down and reboot it. Fortunately since it has an SSD Drive, boot time is about 15 seconds. And since its running Yosemite, all of my previous programs and files also open. Zero work is lost and I'm back and running fast.

                                                                                            But still, freezing...

                                                                                            So anyway last Saturday I contacted Apple. (notice: Saturday). I talk to an English woman who tells me what to do, step by step, to fix the problem. Cycle power, click click, cycle again, click, done.

                                                                                            The entire call took about 10 minutes. Total wait time was maybe 5 seconds. No credit card needed. No Fuss, no bullshit. Just answers and instructions. My phone call didn't even need to be transferred to someone else. The first person I talked to knew exactly what to do.

                                                                                            Apple makes amazing products, and their service is just as amazing. They helped me with my old computer which is way passed warranty, running a free operating system, and didn't charge me a dime.
