  1. Do you get the impression that Wall Street is playing us? The scenario is getting familiar: big funds drive down a stock, shake out the little guys, then buy back in on the dip. It shows what contempt Wall Street has for ordinary investors.

    I’m with the others here, and I’m holding fast. The hysteria of the past couple of days is a “the sky is falling” reaction to sub-prime mortgage portfolios held by banks and mortgage lenders, but so far, there is no facts to support that Apple’s earnings will be impacted. That said, I can’t help but to be suspicious that a concerted effort has been made to whipsaw the price of Apple stock in an effort by big players to exploit the situation, gaining an opportunity to zip while others zag.

    I won’t budge with my investment in Apple. But if I am right, and I hope I am not, it’s stock manipulation of a tall order. And that is more than unethical. If you ask me what I think of many on Wall Street, my response would be unfit for viewing on this site.
