People can't sell Apple stocks fast enough IMO. Tim Cook seems to have no vision for the future, and "where there is no vision, the people perish."

- chucknelson 14y agoWe have no idea what is in the pipeline at Apple, nor what their "vision" is. Steve Jobs and Apple never came out and announced that the iPhone was in development and that it would revolutionize the tech industry - it just did in 2007. Let's wait a few years before we decide if Tim Cook is just riding the wave of prior success.
- bravoyankee 14y agoIn a few years the market will have already decided. The signs are out there. The cop-out design of the iPhone 5, the "blue sky" initiative started with the employees -they are scrambling for new ideas. Steve Jobs was the soul of Apple. His fire is gone. He took it with him.
- jpxxx 14y ago"Cop out?" Do elaborate.
- Steko 14y agoI look forward to hearing about the fortune you made shorting AAPL in 3 years.
- randomdata 14y agoYour thoughts may prove to come true, but R&D is a multi-year undertaking, not something you scramble on at the last hour. The iPad was in development since 2002! Jobs has only been gone for a year. His influence should remain for at least the next five years, and only after that point can we really say if Apple is out of ideas or not.
- taligent 14y agoI always laugh at clueless people who keep talking about current devices like iPad Mini or iPhone 5 as a sign that Apple is dying without Steve Jobs. Especially when Steve Jobs was personally involved in all of these decisions.
- lotso 14y agoWhat does cop-out design mean? That they didn't completely change it?
- gwright 14y agoApple was up $31.30 or almost 6% for the day when I read this comment.
- StavrosK 14y agoI'm not great with stock charts, but it looks like the stock has fallen from $630 to $550 since October.
- a_c_s 14y agoAAPL has had plenty of big stock drops in the last decade: http://www.asymco.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Screen-Shot-2012-11-12-at-11-12-12.27.06-PM.png http://www.asymco.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Screen-Shot... Apple makes more money now than it ever has, so the current drop isn't necessarily more or less predictive than the previous drops have been.
- Markintosh 14y agoDespite the preconceived opinion you may have of me because of my user name, I am more than happy to discuss the pros and cons of Apple as a company based on real-world analysis, but what you are saying is emotionally driven and not based on anything concrete.
- allsystemsgo 14y agoI disagree. We have no idea what is in the pipeline. Every time I have heard Tim speak about his 'vision of Apple' it seems quite similar to what Steve had in mind. We have no idea what sort of products they have in the pipeline. They have a TON of cash. Steve Jobs was just a man. His vision flip flopped all the time. Apple is slow and very methodical in its product decision making. They make very precise decisions, and often these product directions are mocked initially, but that eventually changes.
