Apple Investors, the Fed Put a Tourniquet on Financials

Started by Zach Bass · 10 months ago

S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq Futures got a charge over the weekend. It seems that the US Treasury take-over of Fannie Mae is going to be well received, if not with some apprehension. Sure they will rescue Fannie and Freddie from going belly up, but at what cost to tax payers? So ... Continue reading »

    No way to catch a break here. If they wheel out Steverino (dating myself?) and he's lost another 2 pounds and can't fill out his mock turtleneck t-shirt, its all over.

    That's assuming he's giving the presentation. If they're introducing new products and services he will undoubtedly be the main speaker. I don't recall another product/service announcement where he didn't at least kick things off. If the lineup is nothing more than enhancements, then perhaps he'll simply do the intros, then delegate the details to his minions.

    No matter what he looks like, there'll be plenty of fodder around his health. If he does no-show, that'll fuel the fodder as well. So, Marcos, I fear that you're correct, there's no winning here.

    I hear you. I'm really afraid that *any* public appearance (even if he looks
    pumped up like 'superman') will result in swirling rumors about his health.
    They're being written right now by Rex Crum and the Marketwatch 'bad news
    boys'.

    I had some faint hope that the impressions on the future state of the
    economy would improve enough that we might see some extended optimism. But,
    this thing looks bad and people I know in the financial markets are saying
    that we're only in the 3rd inning. Scarey. And, if Obama gets elected,
    which my family pundits say he will, then we are in for a depression, not
    recession. The 5% of the economic marketplace that are employers who Obama
    wants to tax will have no incentive to invest or risk enough to lift the 95%
    of workforce out of the doldrums. Every day I hope for some wisdom and fail
    to find it by the end of the day. I don't envy your tea leaf readings.
    Even though much of what you do is making forward projections by looking
    through a rear view mirror you can't be accurate when the sign says rough
    road and curves ahead.

    OK Ladies,

    What in the hell am I reading here?

    You all sound like this is the ZACH BASS sewing circle.

    Wheel him out?
    Appearance?

    Nice to see that we stand by the products...

    Zach don't let this go the way of tabloid blunders out there. This is not news worthy let alone showing that your site is losing viewers.

    Apple is Apple. Yes Steve has been the Obama of Apple, just kidding. But Apple has direction and focus. Steve will turn them helm over to Larry and history will be written. Actually it will go to Johnny ives.

    So let's not SPECULATE about Steve.
