Dazel: shorting aapl seems to me to be shorting netflix, but even ballsier. With netflix, you are betting that they can't grow like the market says (which, they very well could do). With Apple, you are betting that people won't want to streamline the products they already have with more apple products... I am about as anti apple as they come, but, they do make a good product, and my next computer might be a macbook, just because I want something that works all the time.
Either way, I won't be shocked if apple almost gets cut down (can anyone ever really replace Steve Jobs?) or, if they get a trillion dollar market cap.
Myth: going back to WDC, I am even more surprised that a tech company with an empire building CEO (which isn't uncommon) and a glut of cash doesn't take them out.
