What excellent advice. Let's just trust that we're getting balanced statements about Apple from the CEO of Apple.

  That's not what's being said. What Cook is saying is just that their numbers are not easy to guess from maker-of-subcomponent-A's numbers. Finding Apple untrustworthy doesn't somehow make gossip suddenly trustworthy.

    > Finding Apple untrustworthy doesn't somehow make gossip suddenly trustworthy. I wasn't implying otherwise. The point I was trying to make is that, although Apple undoubtedly know more than any journalist looking to spin a yarn, it doesn't mean that public statements by their representatives share any of that insight.

  It's pretty sensible advice really (don't make simplistic extrapolations from reports of probably inaccurate estimates of order changes in an incredibly complex supply chain). Seriously, journalists and analysts have been jumping on these kind of reports for years, claiming that they prove Apple is "losing their lustre" in whatever market, and most of the time Apple have reported record profits for that quarter... Traders seem to be taken in by them hook, line and sinker but I'd take it with a grain of salt...
