"A Great Disturbance In The Bourse"
"I felt a great disturbance in the Bourse, as if 216 hedge funds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
What happened? Cook is speaking at the Apple shareholder meeting, and the topic of a dividend of the company's $100 billion in cash has come up.
- COOK IN 'ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS' ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH APPLE CASH
- COOK SAYS APPLE'S CASH IS 'MORE THAN WE NEED TO RUN A COMPANY'
Of course, if there is a dividend, the magic is over. In the meantime, a drop in the stock is still inconceivable.
Next up: iBook?
- APPLE CEO COOK SAYS FACEBOOK `FRIEND,' NOT FOE
- APPLE CEO SAYS APPLE, FACEBOOK `COULD DO MORE TOGETHER'
Or maybe facebook merely helps Apple create an app that helps it run Twitter?

Cook wants Apple to do more "with Facebook". WTF? The future problems aren't the banksters . . . it will be the melding coopting of Apple, FB, Google, Twitter, Cisco etc . . .
iMfucked
Feel the Bourse, Puke..
Down but ninety cents.

All systems back to normal, maybe there was a defective R2 unit with a fat finger
no, it was definitely IG-88 dreaming of dunking
Was he rudely wearing shoes?
I decided to short apple a month ago and will do it in 6 months when the shorters get out and the stock will actually drop like a dotcom is supposed to drop.
the hole in that strategic thinking is Apple ain't a 'dotcom'
it makes things, makes (huge) profits and is even thinking of a Divi.. 3 things you'll never find in a dotcom
IMfucked is just the FREE version!!

It's the iEconomy.
Have the government run even larger deficits to allow SNAP card holders, government employees (who - just at the federal level - not including the vastly larger pool of state and local gov't worker - equal double the number of factory workers in the U.S.) and the iUnemployed to purchase iGadgets.
The U.S. is on a path to have an official national debt of approximately 20 trillion USD within 4 years, realistically speaking.
Of course, the actual real debt NOW is between 60 and 200 trillion, depending upon whether one takes future entitlement obligatory spending into account (the 200 trillion) or not (the 60 trillion).
So, WTF cares...
And it all counts as GDP when 40 million are on food stamps and 1.5 million children are homeless.
Land of the Free ...
iLand?
As long as good-willed entities like Corporate Agri (welfare recipient of food stamp/SNAP program) and JP Morgans (welfare recipient of administration of distributing benefits under SNAP and other government programs) exist, true humanitarians that they are, it's all good.

Agree entirely. Farming is Ireland is almost exclusively Welfare.
New Zealand farmers without any grant aid (welfare) can export lamb to Ireland (half way around the Globe and still undercut the Irish price.
Land of pillage and plunder.
Why work and produce?

Now, now, let's not overstate it. All those unfunded liabilities are just goverment promises. Hell, they get changed all the time. In the last forty years social security taxes have been raised and cut. Social security benefits have been raised and cut. Social security and medicare taxes are just taxes. In the end everyone will get what's politically expediant at the time. And as Greece proves, so will the holders of US goverment bonds. Buy them at your own risk.
That's no apple....it's a space station!
Friend ? Or foe ? Pass. Cue the next video.

Apple's iconoclastic commerical from the '80s seems badly out of place now. I guess the Chosen One has to become evil before it can eventually restore balance to the force.
ain't that the truth...the most closed ecosystem, the slave labor, the cult worship.
The iphone4 sucks, people. the interface is stale, old...the appliance itself is a fucking brick and a heavy one.
I'm not remarking on Apple's products generally, but it is pretty incredible how marginal the features are in one generation to the next, that draw so much batshit hype.
The iPhone 5 is going to have a curved back rather than a flat one....ooooh, wowwww, ahhhhh!
these are not the dividends you're looking for

It's unhealthy to be obsessed with success, success you couldn't imagine would happen in your model of the world.
here's a thought to zero hedge sheeple, If the world doesn't follow your predictive model, may be your model could be wrong? Nah... Sheeple on and hate on people.
Zero hedge sheeple / Peter Schiff sheeple / Ron Paul sheeple are worse than MSM sheeple. At least the MSM people don't hate and at the end of the day seem to lead a happier life
It's Darth iNvestor. AHHHHHHH!
Because what this site really needs is one more MDB/RobotardHarry Wanger troll.
Honest Uncle Warren, who frontruns his own shareholders and who shills for the Fed and the Squid.
"Just write a check and shut the hell up."
Coming out of the wood works they are.
The term sheeple doesn't apply to people who have a counterview of the popular view, by deifinition. MSM people don't hate? What does that even mean? Do you ever post anything related to the subject or is your agenda just to troll. Im sure people here welcome an intellegent point, bullish or bearish, Stop being a troll, and boring at the same time.
In point of fact, a minor group of sheeple can diverge from a major group of sheeple.
They they could be minority sheeple.
Even a (general) association of rogues or a confederation of sovereigns can still be sheeple.
So I reject out of hand your concept that you're not sheeple just because you aren't the supposed "popular view".
Sheeple are a persistent characteristic of human history thus far, I suppose.
No blinder sheep than he who bleats proudly: "Me and my best friends aren't sheeple!"
...calling AAPL "The Bourse" -- that's funny, real damn funny...
"I felt a great disturbance in the Bourse, as if 216 hedge funds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." -- that's precisely just as damn funny!
Who is Peter Schiff?

Do Or do not...there is no try. Pay out that dividend and kill the mo mos'.I love this site. It is never dull.

I have one idea for them with their 100 billion... give a million bucks for every banksters (like Corzine or Henry Paulson) or war criminal (like Kissinger or Bush) head collected.
Well, perhaps it should be mentioned that an attempt to enjoin APPL from selling iPads in Shanghai was denied today.

Rumor has it that AAPL is using its billions in cash to buy boullion on the cheap from EU central bankers. They suddenly have an abundance of inventory.

Funny that government stepped in and made pensions invest money because they had too much. Now look at them.
