			<description><![CDATA[I say this with the utmost respect, Reggie, so please don't assume I'm just another fanboy. There's an extremely simple argument these guys are making: 1) You, Reggie, are an Apple bear. 2) Anyone who's been an Apple bear at any point in the last 3.5 years, has ended up being wrong. That's the whole argument. Disputing either of those facts is completely ridiculous. The part that I just don't get, Reggie, is why you don't see that the sooner you just admit you were wrong about this one stock, the sooner all the Apple fanboys will leave you and your readers alone. Everyone would be better off. Granted, this perfect record of stock calls you seem to care so much about wouldn't be perfect anymore, but it's good to be human, everyone has a bad call now and then. So please, please, just admit you were wrong about Apple and shut these clowns up. Thanks for all you good work over the years. JT]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My "reputation" with Apple is irrelevant. It's the facts that count here, and the fact is that I haven't been materially wrong on Apple yet. My assertions market share and margins have been on point. I've been off on a few points, but all in all fairly accurate. I charge for advanced fundamental analysis and forensic work so I purposely don't comment on share price numbers in public. Thus Apples share price is not part of the conversation. If you want my opinion ion on share price you know how to get it. Click subscribe in the top menu links above. People who say I've been bearish for two years are the cause for the perception of that bearish reputation. We shall see if I'm right starting the 4th quarter of this year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reggie, you really shouldn't sell your readers short like that. Your reputation more than anything else is as an Apple bear. And with AAPL's stock price soaring, it's probably wiser to admit you're wrong than to try and stonewall your readers with this "I was not wrong on Apple" approach. Nobody's perfect at this game, so it's much more reassuring to your readers to hear you admit you were wrong, than trying to keep this facade up that you've be right about Apple all along. You're readers simply aren't going to buy it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was not wrong on the stock. I was opining on the company. My analysis of the stock was pretty much on point as well, give or take. You need to learn the difference. Apple looks to invariably be hitting bubble territory, and nearly every time a stock hits bubbliciousisne ss, there are those who can't see it due to past performance and a rosy perspective. You comment is case in point, "Did you see what the stock price did?" The stock is being piled in by over 230 hedge funds, 89% of which have underperformed the SPY. What happens when they pile out of the stock?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Did you see how high it closed today? It's been straight up ever since you took your victory lap after their last earnings. You've been so negative on AAPL, for so long, I think it's time you admitted you completely missed the boat on this iconic stock.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I noticed that you failed to include in your bullet list that nothing I have said about Apple has been false or untrue. Some of you guys are so apple-centric that you don't realize that facts are facts?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I swear Reggie, every time you write a negative article about Apple, the stock immediately rips higher. It just closed today at its all-time closing high. I think the problem is this: 1) Online articles make their money based on clicks. 2) Sensational headlines about Apple, especially negative ones, generate a ton of clicks. 3) These headlines are flat out wrong, but many people like Reggie take them at face value. 4) Reggie uses them to form opinions, and writes about them in his blog. 5) Despite these opinions, AAPL rips higher. 6) Reggie's left with the only explanation left that the "market is irrational!" Reggie, you're a bright dude, but you can't keep falling for these headlines and using these po-dunk internet journalists as a resource. They're polluting your ideas.]]></description>
