“Facts are meeting speculation,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld. “With Mac, iPad and iPhone sales on the up and up, this has been a fascinating week for Apple [AAPL] rumor. All the disparate claims seem headed into the final steps of their strange dance, unfolding like Lotus flowers, suggesting Apple is set to deliver the world’s most efficient connected device-agnostic global mobile platform.”
“Look at the evidence: Apple’s selling more Macs than ever — Mac sales growth has outpaced the market for 19 consecutive quarters; analysts predict smartphone sales will climb 50 percent this year and the iPad-dominated tablet market is growing faster than that of any previous consumer electronics product,” Evans writes.
Evans writes, “This has been a week of Apple rumor. The rumors are becoming circular now. When speculation becomes circular it usually presages a hatching into fact. The next few months should be very interesting indeed.”

that’s poetry. Shit poetry, mind.
Does that explain why the stock is down another 2% today?
Useless Drivel
350 on options expiry day… Must have been a good reason for the evil stock trolls to park it there.
Yup this has nothing to do with Apple more to do with brokers cashing in on a nice rise.
1. Brokers gets clients to buy into aapl
2. Stock hits highs for the past week.
3. Broker sell off their stocks at the high
4. Someone set up the Enquirer article to help drop the stock.
5. Brokers buy in stock once they’ve pushed it down enough.
This happen a number of times a year. For them there is no risk in the deal because they manipulate the market.
Wow! So you don’t just take sweet photos and jockey them – you’re also a financial analyst/guru.
What can’t C1 do?
I’m terrible at poker.
Third week and stuff happens like clock work.
Can’t help thinking that the price per share keeps Apple in the clutches of the institutions and not the individual shareholder. I’d surely vote for a 10:1 split.
That 2% drop is obviously a part of Apple’s Steve Jobs premium. Over the past two months each sell-off of shares appears to be have been triggered by a Steve Jobs health issue. The medical leave and now the Enquirer news article about Steve. If Steve is up and walking around, I don’t quite understand the dumping of shares. I may be trying to read something into these drops and maybe it’s just my imagination. I’m only guessing that since 70% of Apple shares are owned most by hedge funds, they can easily trigger these drops by being in control of so many share.
For a company with such huge potential and unprecedented demand for its products, sometimes these drops just seem strange to me. It’ll probably take more than a week to gain back that two-day loss.
yeh, go buy RIM or Dell and see where that’d take ya, friggin dumb@$$es. Aint’em WS jokers something? They wouldn’t see a good thing if it bit’em in their asses…
I sure wish AAPL next quarter wouldn’t present such glowing numbers.
“unfolding like Lotus flowers”
Wtf.. speaking of which, is this guy high?
Computer world writers have tendency towards excessive mind farts.
Just pray it doesn’t reach… Threat Level Midnight.
Please let it be iPad 2!!
What a bunch of BS. Apple stock is weak because despite all the hype, investors aren’t buying into the unlimited potential nonsense. A stock that is crushing the rest of the industry would not constantly drop over unfounded rumors. High target prices mean nothing for Apple.
There are still many analysts that feel Apple is sitting in a bubble that will pop when Steve leaves Apple and that’s why any talk about him causes Apple shares to drop like a stone. Apple stock is only as strong as the sick weakling that’s holding it up. Despite Steve showing up with the president it didn’t do anything to positively affect Apple shares. Only negative Steve news drops Apple shares. The only circular rumors are Steve circulating around the Stanford Cancer Center.
