    Last post of the day, before I go off to bed.



    Unless an unlocked 3G iphone comes out in 2 months, I see AAPL trading at $110 strike price by March.



    Fasten your seatbelts, or prepare to double down at that price I guess. The proper way if you are LONG AAPL is to write in the money calls(5 dollars below) or at the money calls every month for the next 2-3 months to get some cash out of your long position.

    Unfortunately, I don't see a 3G iPhone coming out 'til late calendar Q2 (June) at the earliest. \



    So yeah, those of us holding Apple stock (like moi) may be screwed in the short term.

    I think that's pretty realistic. Apple usually doesn't do major feature updates on its portable devices more than once a year.

    As long as you can hold on in the short term, I really don't think it's a major problem.

    Wow, I broke my own rules and shorted GOOGLE at the closing. It is amazing that not even google is immune to this crap.



    I guess this short California rule is going to play well for another quarter or so.

    I wouldn't be that blase about it. AAPL will eventually bounce back to $200, but no one knows exactly how long it'll take... could well be a very long time.

    Seeking Alpha has an article about this (citing AppleInsider for the breaking the story). Looks like they are trying to get the full text of the message and will post it on this page:

    Think they'll get it?

    I regularly use Yahoo for Finance stuff, especially UK, Asia stocks and especially, currency. In perspective, Google Finance has not been impressive, as much as I like it for almost everything else.

    TBaggins, you've obviously never really owned a Black MacBook? In the sub-15" laptop range, I'd say it is the pinnacle of portable computing design of the past 10 years.



    The texture plays a *huge* role in the awesomeness of the Black MacBook.



    In the 15" range, of course, the Titanium PowerBook G4. Tres sex.
