Silverhawk1, I certainly didn’t expect this hoopla!

I am in Beijing. I was in the lines and waited patiently with several hundred others as we and walked along the snake line metal fences. I arrived at 8:30am. There were several hundreds people before me, and by 9 am, a few hundred behind me.

About 8:50am, the 300 or so blue shirted Apple employees ran out of the front door and ran a circular ring around the waiting crowd, high diving and cheering as they ran around us, and back into the Apple Store. I’ve been to a few Apple Store Openings in San Francisco Bay Area, and never seen such enthusiasm from Apple employees.

worked in asia for years.

Asians have to strive hard to make a buck.
There’s plenty of fake stuff around, plenty of copycat stuff, so people KNOW what is good and what is rip off.
And Apple stuff was assembled there…

so for these dudes to be so enthusiastic for Apple, knowing it’s the real deal, from a country that makes half the worlds electronics … it’s a big endorsement for Apple.

Same reasoning applies even if they were buying to RE SELL as that shows theres a ready market for apple stuff in china.

Sure, we all read it. Supply and demand : natch, had it in high school and college. Understood. But pandemonium is hardly a way to describe the people at the Apple store. Simply watching the video is proof of that. Not sure about the bamboozle? I would describe the demand as high and the supply unable to keep up with the demand. But I don’t believe that it is a bamboozle. It certainly is not intentional. Don’t know anything about the diet.

So you do not know what the crowd was like before or after. They could have been tuckered out after going wild…. And that’s when the video was shot.

I am not saying the writer’s opinion of “pandemonium” might not be a bit overstated…. But then again for Chinese that may be pandemonium squared.

He’s not likely to be objective. But there were a lot of people in line and that’s good. That line consists of more customers than Microsoft stores will see in all of 2012! I’m not subsidized, I am being objective and I’m being generous too.

It’s something that lesser companies try to do, but it sounds false when they do it, largely because their product doesn’t live up to the hype that they attempt to create.

It was just a line of people going into the store in a reasonably excited manner and being greeted by enthusiastic employees.

It’s good to see so much enthusiasm, but the headline doesn’t really fit what we were shown.

It isn’t a Sector-wide problem, it’s a not-an-Apple-Product problem.

And with stock price of under $610 including $100 of cash per share, the PE ratio of AAPL couldn’t be more attractive. Now is the time to buy!
