The Apple's income and long term stock price is not effected by rumors.  Back when new products could delay current sales because refreshes ran ever 12-18 months this was indeed a problem.  Apple has just shifted to a 6 month...

Don't stick you head in the sand. Apple has always followed during iterative improvements. They prefer to get it right on their own time. It is disruption and creation of new categories that Apple has done it's best work. Give...

Perhaps Wall Street is right on this one. I don't think Apple should give up it's conservative money management, but it shouldn't put more and more of it's shareholders money in such tight straights. The company needs 50 or 60 Billion...

I agree that this is not news. I would comment that Apple has switched to a semi annual refresh due to competition from Samsung's newest phones. Apple let Samsung take away market share by not offering a semi annual update. I doubt...

It is also just plain good financial planning. If you already hold 200,000 shares you have plenty of personal exposure to Apple's stock price as it moves upward. Politics aside, I don't see what is so controversial about allowing...
