			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;From Henry Blogdett, my thoughts exactly... If there's one thing that can never be said about the folks who got in on Facebook years ago, it's that they're stupid. On the contrary... Observing the frenzy that has created more demand than one senior financial advisor has "ever seen" for an IPO, Facebook insiders have decided to dump a lot more stock on the deal. Facebook increased the size of the IPO again this morning... to a staggering $16 billion. Importantly, however, the company is not selling a single additional share. The entire increase--of 85 million shares--is coming from existing shareholders. Eric Savitz at Forbes breaks down the details: Tiger Global upped the number of shares it will sell to 23.4 million, from 3.4 million. Mail.ru upped its planned sale to 19.6 million from 11.3 million. Accel Partners now plans to sell 49 million shares, up from 38.2 million. DST Group will sell 45.7 million shares, up from 26.3 million. Goldman Sachs will sell 28.7 million shares, up from 13.2 million. Greylock will sell 7.6 million shares, up from 7 million. Peter Thiel will sell 16.8 million shares, up from 7.7 million. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-insiders-dump-stock-2012-5#ixzz1v2TgWP1c&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[rbblum says: &quot;And, WHAT IF Bernanke's strategy of implementing quantitative easing coupled with a zero interest rate policy is primarily to provide 'cover' while the proxy banks (JP Morgan eta al) implement a full court press to take away as much market capital as possible via manipulating the gold/silver markets and be a primary player and anticipated profiteer within the derivatives and credit default swap markets . . . all in an effort to 'cover' their aging gargantuan losses being carried on their books at inflated, hallucinatory valuations.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tim Thompson says: &quot;Great to know that I'm not the only one out here who feels this way. I said exactly the same thing in my article http://reflectpersonalfinance.blogspot.com/2012/05/facebook-ipo-dont-do-it.html. The problem with Facebook, as Reggie pointed out, is that they will not publicly disclose how they got to the valuation that they did. Even if they did disclose this, it wouldn't matter, since if you show someone your figures are water then all it does is confirm it's water. I love the fact that even large companies such as GM are no longer going to use the ads on Facebook...as I mentioned myself, rarely anyone even looks at or clicks on the ads.&quot;]]></description>

			<title>How Does Facebook Drum Up So Much Frothy Interest For Its Overpriced Shares? Help From The Media, Goldman, et. al.</title>
			<link>http://boombustblog.com/reggie-in-the-news/item/6068-how-does-facebook-drum-up-so-much-frothy-interest-for-its-overpriced-shares?-help-from-the-media-goldman-et-al#comment-10326</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Tim Thompson says: &quot;Excellent article. The problem with Facebook's IPO, as with all IPOs, is that most of the price is simply speculation by the market. There are no fundamentals behind the price. Heck, you needn't look any further than Linked In as an example of a very similar business model. What is the P/E ratio for Linked In right now? In excess of 600. I'm sorry, but I just don't think paying over $600 for $1 of earnings is a good idea. As I mentioned in my blog post on this subject, you're better off just taking the money you would have invested in Facebook and plunk it into an index fund. IF Facebook actually becomes a worthy investment, then the index fund will buy it in a proportionate share to the index anyway, so you will be investing in it when it's actually worth something. Unfortunately, it is possible that the market capitalization from the IPO will be so large that it may be able to sneak it's way into that index fund, but at least only a small amount of that money will be "polluted" by a bad investment instead of the entire amount you otherwise would have used to buy Facebook shares. http://reflectpersonalfinance.blogspot.com/#!/2012/05/facebook-ipo-dont-do-it.html&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;I wrote a post about the incongruency of the conclusions drawn in a MSM article. Nothing in your comments negates what was stated about said article. While we're on the topic of pundits, analysts, and webosphere opinions thereof, there is a very comprehensive report on Facebook behind the paywall of this site that looks at a wide variety of metrics. Of course, in order for qualified professionals to do so they need to be compensated, thus the execution of the paywall. Facebook's growth is indeed slowing along a variety of lines, but for you to criticize my critique of an article's conclusions and content by drawing on content from a totally different article is simply not shooting straight. Again, if you want to debate the growth metrics of Facebook, there's plenty of fodder for that here among the paid subscriber arena. If you want to challenge the conclusions drawn from the article, we should stick to the article. If you want to introduce new data points to the discussion, you are quite welcome to do so, simply keep in mind that that is what you are doing.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gunk says: &quot;Would you write a post about Toyota's potential revenue without mentioning the number of cars they sell? Quick search of the Financial Times' source yields a press release with the full results and CTR number. The problem with Wall Street and like-pundits is they rarely look at the full spectrum; instead, picking one aspect of the equation and deriving a conclusion from it. You can't talk about CPCs without talking about CTRs and anytime you see an article or report on CPCs without CTRs then your uncovering "truth" radar should start buzzing. It's like talking about Prius sales without mentioning how many of them Toyota is selling.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gunk says: &quot;Reggie, I see the point you're trying to make, but you completely forgot to account for CTR (click through rate). Yes, the CPC of clicks decreased by 26%, but at the same time the number of clicks on ads increased by 50% - twice as many clicks on ads - negating the dip in CPCs. It's like Costco or Walmart making profits off volume. Google got dinged on the same CPC issue in Q4 even though they had record profits. In Q1, again they had low CPCs but record high CTRs, sparking Wall Street to change their tune on low CPCs. Sorry, Reggie, looking at CPCs and not taking into account CTRs is a narrow view. There are plenty of reasons to harp on Facebook, but your calculations are very one sided.&quot;]]></description>

Have you been on a plane in the past 3 months? I travel a lot and a typical experience of walking down the aisle is seeing 20 iPads, and not a single Android tablet. It's almost as if the there are people out there who bought an Android tablet in 2011, but for whatever reason, they don't even use it any more. And there seem to be usage studies that back that up: http://insights.chitika.com/2012/study-apple-ipad-accounts-for-94-64-of-all-tablet-web-traffic/ The whole thing is very depressing as an Android fan.&quot;]]></description>

Apple went from 91% market share to just over 50% to the low 60% range. Does it seem like they are losing share to you?&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gary55 says: &quot;Did you see the latest IDC tablet numbers? All this time I had agreed with you that it was a matter of when, not if, Android tablets take over the iPad, but now I think maybe that ship has sailed. I just don't understand why Google did such a half ass job on their tablets, and now they're paying the price. The only silver lining is I still think tablets are way more of a fad than people realize and maybe giving up on Android tablets could be the best decision Google could make. What were your thoughts on the numbers?&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gary55 says: &quot;Oh I know. My risk tolerance is higher than it should be, I'm well aware of that. I just meant we're on the same page regarding google and Apple. Google is playing the long game with Android and is setting itself up to be the leader in both mobile software and mobile data. Apple is playing the short game and setting itself up for unsustainable margins and the same small high end niche it had in the PC wars. My risk would've been a great play had it not been for Apple's bogus accounting. By hey, anyone who though Wall St is a fair game is a sucker.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gary55 says: &quot;Reggie, are you thinking what I'm thinking regarding these Apple earnings? I'm full on convinced they're running an Enron style bs accounting scam in Cupertino. I mean, you've seen all the anecdotal evidence of margin contraction over the last two years and they go and post 47.4% margins? No way. Total bs. Not possible. Do you have any boys at the SEC you can get on this? Not to mention, the fact that they post those total bs iPhone numbers after AT&T and Verizon reported the true slowdown that's actually taking place. I'm telling you, it's Enron all over again.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Amaliada says: &quot;I live in Greece and I knew Greece had to default from the very beginning. Who, in their right mind (and not a politician) would agree to, in essence, take out another credit card to pay the interest on the maxed out cards? But that is what Greece was forced to do while buying more French and German armaments. Now Barroso wants Greeks, who supposedly earn 400 euro/month to take a 15% pay cut and still pay off this debt. In actual practice, people are paid 1/4 of what they're owed, if they are paid at all. The politicians have not reduced any aspect of their financial lives - no pay cuts, freezes, or tax hikes commiserate with what they steal. Thanks for the great article.&quot;]]></description>

As frustrating as it is to watch Apple being propped up by the panicking longs, I'm equally frustrated why google continues to be held down. It has no business being below $800, let alone $700. My whole investment thesis is based on long GOOG & short AAPL and after averaging in over the past 18 months, my average buy price on Google is still $180 above my average sell price on crapple, excuse me, apple. I'm sure apple is going to collapse, but what's your opinion on the big G?&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gary55 says: &quot;People are finally starting to see how much trouble Apple is really in. I can't wait for next Tuesday's earnings. My guess is $8.80 in EPS and this will be the quarter where margin compression finally catches up to them, I'm thinking margins around 39%, much lower than the analysts are expecting. The fact is, the iPhone 4S has already lost its momentum and the only thing selling is the new iPad which Apple was forced to drastically cut its margins on in order to compete with Android tablets. It's playing out exactly like you, I, and the rest of the independent thinkers out there predicted. I can't believe AAPL's been propped up as long as it has, but it'll be below $400 in no time. That's why I'm all in short on this thing, I can't wait. And before you offer any words of caution, I'm a grown man and know what I'm doing. I'm well aware of the cliche that markets can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, but that's why god invented 2nd mortgages :)&quot;]]></description>

I actually questioned MarketSmith when I saw a large drop in another leader I have been tracking. In any event, the updated data is as follows, as I posted on my twitter feed: "Although Institutional #'s were incorrect, $AAPL still down 8% from 4/7 chart http://stks.co/3FrS | sponsorship is now 4,196 from 4,308" Lastly, it would be nice to get the credit for posting and annotating that chart - @cperruna&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;Apple is definitely on teary, but comparing it to Google's share price is not the thing to do. Apple is currently the hedge fund darling of the street. It is owned, and owned heavily, by every large and name brand fund on the street. That level of demand is unhealthy and the amount of correlation and lack of diversification it brings is not very healthy at all. When margin compression becomes evident to the masses, the selloff will be strong and most definitely overdone to the negative side.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;Your argument is highly circular, hence makes little sense to me. You clearly concede that competition will force Apple to reduce margins (which is my argument) then you go on to say that Apple can afford it more than its competition. Exactly what difference does that make? Margin compression is margin compression and lofty $1,000 per share predictions are not fundamentally supported by a simultaneous drop in margins and market share without getting the excess growth to compensate from somewhere else. You have to make up your mind.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Stone Mirror says: &quot;"It appears you don't understand that threat that is facing Apple." Oh, I understand the "threat" that Google wishes were facing Apple. Except, I also understand that Google is making a lot more from iOS than it is from Android. I further understand that, in spite of Android's "dominance" of the smart phone space, neither Android developers nor — more importantly — the vast majority of Android OEMs are making any profit worth talking about. Apple's laughing all the way to the bank on their minority share of that particular segment, and the performance of Android in the tablet space isn't going to be a bit different, I'm afraid. Asus can attempt to survive and grow on whatever sort of razor-thin margins they're getting on the Transformer Prime, but Apple has plenty of headroom in terms of their own margins, as I've pointed out, to make them suffer the "death of a thousand cuts". In the meantime, Microsoft is making a mint off of Android, strictly through license fees — and they won't be the only ones, either — and Google is busy alienating the majority of its OEMs with its purchase of Motorola...&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;It appears you don't understand that threat that is facing Apple. Sure, Apple competes against the various Android handset vendor, but Apple's truest competition is that of Google. Google has created the premier, most widely adopted, most capable and fastest growing mobile OS. Google has created an app and content market that can rival Apple's and most importantly Google actually benefits from margin compression in the hardware and software space (remember, Android is open source). This means that as margins slime, Apple shaves off points and the SE Asian manufacturers do what they do best (high volume, low margin sales), Google reaps the benefit as more and more handsets, tablets, glasses, cars, computers and any other device that can both bring in ad revenue and offer up software services for a fee (ex. payments, storage, cloud services, productivity apps, etc.) get disseminated to the general populace under Google Branded umbrella. This is why Google is actually working to push the prices down even faster, even further with the Nexus branded, full featured multi-core chip for just $149 - without cellular carrier subsidy. marketed directly from (and tied into) google properties (ex. search, youtube, etc.) this will put real pressure on the iPad if its feature parity is achieved. Since Asus is the rumored vendor (the Asus Transformer Prime runs circles around the iPad 3 for $100 less) and since Google will likely subsidize the tablet with ad revenue, feature parity is all but assured.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Stone Mirror says: &quot;It's scary because, while Apple gets to hang onto its entire 60% of the market's worth of profits, the Android OEMs — all two dozen or more of them — have to fight over the remaining 40%, leaving none of them with more than 5%, which is not enough to survive on. I'm astounded to need to explain this to a "finance person". Reggie is treating the Android tablet market as though they managed their profits in a pool, and that's hardly the case. Apple enjoys incredible margins, relative to the rest of the industry. If they cut prices, it's a paper cut for them. For Asus or Acer to correspondingly reduce their prices, given their relatively razor-thin margins, would amount to being drawn and quartered.&quot;]]></description>

			<title>Apple's iPad Is Losing Market Share And Profit Margin As Apple Hits All Time High</title>

			<description><![CDATA[steveaw says: &quot;I am an android user too. I fail to see why this is scary since I am an Android user not an investor. Being good for consumers is fundamentally in conflict with being good for investors especially when your technology is not head and shoulders above the rest (in fact Apple tech is on average one generation behind Google). I laugh when I see an Apple fanboy avidly defend Apple stock. It is because he is getting backdoored by those huge marketing premiums that Apple gets those margins that drive their share price. I love that Android has the largest market share but Apple has 70% of the profits. That tells me we are not getting gouged. In fact, I hope Google never becomes like Apple because then I'll have to switch to Windows.&quot;]]></description>

I think you will be quite please with the content behind the paywall, and will find it every bit as logical and much more meticulous than this infomercial that you are commenting on. It is quite realistic and the few detractors that visit this site have absolutely no idea what it is they are attempting to detract since its obvious they don't have access t the material. I have always been considerably more generous in my fundamental projections of units sold and margins than the street consensus, but I've differed significantly from consensus in regards to competition. The report is 19 pages long and focuses primarily on valuation issues given 3 different, very realistic scenarios that may play out over the near to medium term. The pro version will include a number and trend heavy model download so users can see the raw data and draw their own conclusions.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;This is not about defending me. i have no problem with you disagreeing with me. I don't have a problem being wrong either, as long as I manage to be right more than I'm wrong. Read my 2009 letter to subscribers and you;ll see that I will write in detail about where, when and how I'm wrong. The caveat is that I have to be wrong first. The vast majority of those who pay to get in are instititions and professionals, not retail investors so I'm not trying ot recruit them. At least half of the stuff on the inside is not even known about in any form on the outside until after the opportunity is over, and price points are never discussed on the outside. The free stuff on the site is content for a blog, not paid for analysis. Where you crossed the line was to accuse me of lying about my stance. Outside of being highly offensive, it is also inaccurate and just plain wrong. It is also something which I won't tolerate. If you want to discuss where I'm wrong about something, no problem, just pick something that I was wrong about. There's enough to choose from without having to fabricate things. Consider this thread closed to this topic now. If you want to discuss it further, feel free to email me.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pointer says: &quot;I know you must think that having a 100% accuracy rate on your predictions would make you very desirable to take advice from, but in reality it's the opposite. People are smart enough to realize that in this business, no one is always going to be right, and anyone who claims they are is a giant red flag. On top of that, this whole line you keep using over and over that, if we subscribed we'd be able to see your track record isn't going to actually get people to sign up. These Apple bulls who come on here to talk smack have zero interest in ever paying you money, so there's really no point in trying to recruit them. And for the rest of us who agree with your ideas, we aren't buying the fact that your ideas are completely different inside the pay wall. All people are seeing you as is the guy who keeps crying wolf on AAPL. Some of us agree, but the stance you take out here is not helping. I'm one of the few people on here defending you, and you're running around with your hair on fire yelling about slander. C'mon Reggie, like I said before, you're better than that.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;You are now borderline slander, which tries my patience. I clearly challenged anybody to outline where I have been wrong, and barring said outline to stop declaring such. For one I have not been saying Apple's margins will be in jeopardy for two years, alas that does not preclude you from saying such on my site. In October of 2010, I said Apple will succumb to margin compression and will miss due to competiton. I did not say I was short then, and did not declare when to be short. I said on this site that it will most likely occur between 4 to 8 quarters from that announcement. Why is it that you don't declare what happened 4 quarters after that announcement? Seriously! Answer the question. I would be more patient if you and one or two of the others were a bit more balanced and factual in expressing your opinions, but you fabricate things then come to my site and accuse me of lying. I will not tolerate that. It also shows an Apple bias. I said Greece would default for over two years, and it took over two years for them to default, Why is it that you are not declaring me wrong on Greece??? I still have 3 to 6 quarters left on my Apple assertions before anyone can say that it was off. The horizon on Greece is much longer than the horizon on Apple. There is a definite Apple bias among retail investors. From this point on, unless anyone can point out and back slanderous assertions, or simply where I made a mistake, if they pop up in these comments they will be removed. Now, with that being said, i understand your point about perceptions, but I stand behind my points because that's how my calculations and observations guide me. I'll change my stance when I feel it needs to be changed based on the observations or I'm proven wrong. Barring any of those, I will not change - particularly due to a popularity contest. The same argument you made for me saying I was wrong about Apple could have been made for Greece, Research in Motion, Lehman Brothers, the housing market, Commercial real estate, etc. Theses take time to play out and I clearly (and I do mean clearly) articulated that Apple will play out over many quarters. Now, enough of this. It is consuming significant time. I will be posting the actual margin compression that Apple is already seeing (but not required to report) in at least one of its very key products for subscribers on my next tech post. Pointer's assertion that Apple's margins is at all time highs fails to grasp a granular view of the product line. Gross margins across the company are at all time highs, but key margins are dropping - as they should - due to competition. This is simple business 101, but for some reason it is assumed that Apple is somehow immune.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pointer says: &quot;Apple's margins are at all-time highs, and the guidance for this current quarter's margins are the highest it's ever given. Again, if you want to claim that Apple's margins will suffer from here, that's fine. But anyone who has claimed over the past two years that Apple's margins will be in jeopardy so far has been proven wrong. What you don't seem to grasp, is that when you are caught lying about these Apple predictions, it completely kills your credibility on all your other topics, some of which you've nailed. I'm mean, look at all your articles since this one, there's not a single comment on any of them. If you keep up this deny, deny, deny approach, the only thing you're going to become known for are your Apple predictions. And that's not something you want, because you're better than that.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot; I don't understand how you can say this. I never said buy a bunch of Google and don't buy Apple, hence I don't see how I can be wrong in this regard. The problem is too many people are judging facts by stock prices. Android has been wiping the floor with iOS in terms of market share gains, tech, etc. Historically, these trends tend to lead to a dominant company and larger profits. The key word is "lead". If I gave stock price targets here and they were wrong, then I see your point, but since this is a paid subscription site you will not ever see than in free articles, or I will not be able to afford to create said free articles. I had this discussion regarding BNP over twitter, where someone said they were glad they didn't follow my advice regarding BNP which shot up in price. BNP corrected ~40% after I warned my subscribers, with explicit price points. These prices points are not available in the free posts because the free posts are.... well... free. The research needs to be paid for in order to be created because believe it or not, analysts don't work for free. The same thing goes for Apple, which probably has even a longer investment thesis horizon. Nearly every single thing that I have said about iOS/Android has come to pass. I haven't followed Apple forensically on a regular basis, but I did create the margin compression thesis because it is an obvious play that is quite contrarian, which is what my institutional subscribers pay me for and apparently which where most of the understanding is. I have to look back at the specific prices in the research to comment accurately, but to my recollection the stock price valuation bands have been pretty accurate as well - particularly with Google. Again, I simply ask anyone to show me where I was wrong with Apple. Thus far, all we have come up with was where I was right, which of course was ignored. Now, if one is trying to glean what my paid price targets are from reading free articles, and you didn't get it right then I understand but that is not me being wrong that is the reader guessing what's behind the paywall in lieu of paying for what's behind the paywall. I fully admitted that Apple stock would do well in the short term and even released a model to show how they manage earnings expectations to ensure that's the case through volatile earnings. That is part of how I predicted the miss two quarters ago. I literally find it amazing how so many can ignore every accurate point I've made on apple, ignore the only one that I know of to predict a very rare earnings miss, imagine trade recommendations and stated price points, declare that I said Apple will be driven out of business when I said they will face margin compression, then say that I was wrong on Apple. The only ones that can say that are subscribers, and granted I'm not always completely accurate and Apple has performed well, but there is no where that can accurately be shown where I declared that wouldn't be the case. Actually, the facts are to the contrary. I'm usually right substantially more than I am wrong - at least thus far... (knocking on wood).&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pointer says: &quot;Reggie: I've been every bit as big a backer of Android and Google stock, but take it from a fellow believer... Anyone who follows the wireless market can look back at the last three years and see that the correct play was buying a ton of AAPL, buying every single dip, and not selling any of it. Anything else was wrong. Now, that being said, I still don't own any AAPL, and I never have. Why? Because, like you, I still believe in the Android story and I think we will be proved right. Eventually. But there is absolutely no way to say that you, I, or anyone else that wasn't an AAPL super-bull has been right about the iOS Android wars thus far. As a fan of your work, please, please, please realize the difference between being right thus far, and still holding out hope you eventually WILL be right. There is a huge difference.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;For one, I don't write "negative" articles about Apple, I right objective articles that state what I see as facts. If the company were IBM, you probably wouldn't call it negative, you would call it adherence to, and observance of the economic laws of supply and demand. Second, I never gave a price target to anyone who doesn't pay me, so the fact that Apple's share price went up (or down) has nothing to do with whether I was right or wrong. Look at what I said in the articles and compare them to actual history, then determine whether they were correct or not. Here, let me help you: Did Apple lose market share to Android? Yes Did Apple's growth rate get surpassed by that of Android's? Yes Did Apple's tech get surpassed by that of Android's? Yes Did Apple miss the quarter that I said they were at risk of missing? Yes. As a matter of fact, the price dropped then as well. I have a lot of new stuff on Apple coming to subscribers, along with a very common sense share price scenario matrix, including stuff that I just don't see in sell side analysis. I am aware that this stuff is of much more interest to institutional and professional investors than it is to the retail guys, but it is what it is.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ActionJJ says: &quot;-oh my bad. I misread that, but now I'm just confused. I'm not trying to troll here, but if you write a negative article about AAPL a few months back when it's trading in the low $400s and it's now almost $150 a share higher, how were right? I just don't understand that logic.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;I never said I was wrong, never admitted I was wrong, and to date I have not been wrong. Nearly every single thing that I have said about Apple has come to fruition. It looks to be particularly accurate these upcoming quarters. It was spectacularly accurate the quarter Apple missed. In October '10 I said that although I wasn't short Apple and it wasn't time to short Apple yet, they will feel the effect of competition and it will draw down on margins. When I did say I would go short Apple (in the subscriber discussion forums) Apple consequently missed. The last quarter was spectacular, but it was also a combination of many one time events that it would not be able to replicate. I have no problem with honesty, nor admitting that I'm wrong or right. In order for me to admit that I'm wrong, I have to be wrong first, though. All of you guys who don't subscribe don't even know what my stance is from a financial perspective so you can only guess at where I stand from a fundamental perspective. I may get the Apple report out today, or this weekend. As I have said over the summer, Apple's margins for the iPad have tanked, and it's market share has actually shrunk at the same time. It's incredible that the lone voice that was accurate for the Apple miss two quarters ago still doesn't get the credibility it deserves. Too many of you are in love with the company and fail to look at it for what it is, a company.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ActionJJ says: &quot;I'm just glad to see Reggie is finally admitting he was wrong about something with his call last October. It's a good lesson on why it's important to ignore the CNBC "analysts". After Apple's October miss, so many people wrote negative headlines full of hyperbole and it was easy for Reggie and others to panic and take the negative stance. And look at the stock now, it's up well over $100 Billion since then and October turned out to be the buying opportunity of the year. But like I said, at least he's starting to own up to his calls that didn't pan out, it's refreshing honesty for this business.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;Actually, the iPad margins are dropping, and dropping quickly, as is the iPad market share - just as I warned last summer. These facts have been hidden by Apple's meteroic growth. The issue with margin compression is that if/when that growth slows, earnings slow along with it. I have actually been quite prescient in calling this, as I was quite accurate in calling the earnings miss quarter before last which would have left a short position profitable if one would have went short (not using puts, but actual short) when I suggested a couple of weeks before earnings (this was in the subscriber discussion forum). I find it amazing that so many retail investors (hedge funds are jumping on the BoomBust bandwagon, likely to hedge long bets) find this very elementary, b school 101 concept so difficult to accept... Just because it's Apple we are talking about. Last quarters performance is nearly guaranteed to provide a Q on Q and likely Y on Y slowdown. Combine that with the fact that Apple has to spend more per device due to Android comp (and quite possibly Windows 8 comp) and my thesis has already come to fruition.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[JackH says: &quot;But aren't their margins significantly higher now than when you warned about their margins in 2010? Have you seen the iPhone 4S? It's a margin raising monster! It's basically the same phone as the iPhone 4 hardware wise and it's selling like crazy.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ReggieMiddleton says: &quot;This has nothing to do with fighting the tape. I've been cautious on Apple since last summer, but did not advise going against it until right before they missed for the quarter, at which time the stock dropped in price. The fanboys on the site are missing the point on Apple, much of which is behind a paywall but still the point is still evident on its face. Apple is a fine, strong company and segment leader, but it will (actually already is) facing margin pressure on the two products which deliver 80% of its profits. I now have definitive proof of that which I alleged last year. This doesn't mean that Apple is doomed, but it does mean that many have too optimistic a view on the company given the level and quality of its current competition, the lack of diversity in its earnings stream and the ability to continue growth at its hisotrical rate which was extravagaant.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[JackH says: &quot;Reggie, There's an old saying "don't fight the tape." and I think you'd be wise to take that into consideration. It's a dangerous, dangerous game to try and go against the market when it keeps telling you something else. And if my math is correct, you've been cautious on Apple since the $200's so if you still believe AAPL belongs in the $200s, then ex cash you're talking about a PE under 5. I can't imagine a world where Apple deserves a PE under 5, but I'm sure you have you're reasons. Just be careful, man.&quot;]]></description>
