1) Your post was removed because it was full of obscenities. So much for the ability of folks like you to have a 'rational' and 'civil' debate. What a laugh.
2) You can take any approach you want. That would not change the fact that you understand little to nothing about the macroeconomy and the market, why and how we got here (Obama or no Obama), and even less about Apple and what it stands for by way of quality, design, innovation, responsiveness, customer service, management depth, and transparency in reporting.
3) The only thing I think long and hard about -- and confess, I'll probably never get -- is what drives people like you get up in the morning.
On your best day and my worst you couldn't out invest me. Well what drives me unlike you is I don't work at the local gas station.
Their passion is as strong as ours. The universe wants to balance itself out.
Okay think we should both take some time out of our day and get a few minutes of market advice from this person. It's a bit dry so maybe drink a energy drink before you watch it.

You're joking, right? The pro-Apple users on MacRumors have given up fighting the anti-Apple idiots since their mods refuse to do anything about it. The site's overrun with them.
No I'm not joking these are internet forums are they really that important? On MacRumors there are threads that have hundreds of posts where people can actually disagree without the word Fandroid or Troll coming out 50 times. Not to mention if anantksundaram doesn't want to interact with me then why post to me?
His sad and pathetic attempt to show superiority is not only unproductive but fall flat everytime. Also do you really think you are an unbiased moderator? You live on this forum and in many cases your posts on this forum are some of the most offensive and antagonist I have seen. Apple didn't become the top company because everyone hates them.
The threads that get the most hits on this forum always have to do with another company like Samsung, Microsoft and Google. Microsoft use the be the big bad wolf on this forum now the new enemy is Google and Samsung. These threads get hundreds of posts while many thread simply talking about Apple may get a few dozen if that many. There are some exception.
So don't act like this forum doesn't breed conflict. My original post about how the election created a drop in the market was logical and my comment about Obama has been stated many times by some of the biggest investors in this country. if the above mentioned didn't agree with me that is fine but don't post to me if you don't want me to post back.
We have threads were the word Fandroid or troll comes up by the third post, at that point the thread has no chance of being productive. In many cases you are the first to throw out the word troll.
For the record, I really dislike interacting with people like you. I feel like I have to wash my hands afterwards.
But there are times that you guys just get past reasonableness with your relentless arrogance, negativity, and trolling (yes, trolling).
If you don't like to be accused of that, try not being one, for a change.
When I think about it the fact that you and I dislike each other is a foolish position seeing we don't really know each other. So I feel your statement is a bit dramatic.
This was my first post in this thread.
"I would say people have lost faith in our economy and Apple is simply a victim of an overall market that looks at our newly elected president as anti business. Since the election the market has gone one way and that is down. So while this thread is about board members this reflects what is happening across the board when it comes to the market.
Here is another good example of what we love the do in the US. We love to build up the underdog we love to beat them up even more when they are on top."
While somewhat opinion based which I have a right to my own opinion there is fairly sound evidence to back up my opinion. You may disagree and you have that right. However nothing I said in this post would indicate I was in any way attempting to troll the forum. There was nothing so far out of line that you needed to come defend a cause or the forum.
Also if you remember Steve Jobs told President Obama that he would be a one term President.
"You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly. As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them.
So on an Apple forum to state that the President is anti business is directly in line with the comments Steve Jobs made. You came back with some point about the S&P500 being up 65% as if that was a key indicator of how investors see the country when it comes to business.
So to act like I committed some crime against humanity that was so bad you had to jump in and save the forum doesn't hold water.
Then my next post simply pointed out that unemployment is very high, the real unemployment rate is a good bit high than the 7.9 national average because those that just give up looking for work are not counted.
GDP growth I believe is at 2.0%. The housing market is still down and job creation can not keep up with the increase in population.
I could go on but you get my point. My comments could in no way be seen as trolling.
I was going to mention that the reason your post was probably removed was due to the political statements and not colorful language. There's a sub-forum here for discussions of politics and government policy. This one isn't it.
