Jim I dont know where our just for fun exchange is where I said AAPL $150 by June, well I was a month off:>)......I found this one from a year ago

Damn, Apple (aapl) is getting hammered after hours (down 11.2% to $147.98 right now.) They reported earnings today. Looked good to me, but I guess Wall St. didn't like their guidance for next quarter. If I believed in the market at all and had extra cash I would be buying in the morning.

$200 buy 2009, $300 by 2011

I don't know about $300 - that would be an insane market cap. But I could imagine $200 in 2009 no problem (assuming the market doesn't collapse as a whole, and that Steve Jobs stays healthy - some pretty big assumptions.) I see Notebook and iPhone(/iPod) market share driving the increase. $152.31 right now.

Steve just has to be careful not to fuck up.

Ouch. I don't see it happening to aapl though, unless it's just following the whole market down.

Apple doesn't have a juggernaut of a competitor like Intel, and their hit products (iPods/iPhone) aren't just crap they got lucky with (Razr.)
Standard disclaimer applies: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Light introductory NYTimes article on the fascinating subject of high frequency trading. It's not mentioned in the article but I've read that ~70% of all trades in equity markets are made by these computer programs. There is a real worry about the stability of markets given this situation. And the story of Goldman possibly front running the market is very interesting.

we were a huntley brinkley family. but i did see cronkite in the audience at an alberta hunter club date at the kitchen in the later 70's. i thought he has in his 90's then (?!). i guess it was that authoritative mustache or his "of previous era appearance" that locked him in as the stalwart anchor man.
the scatter canon is thus carved in stone:


Black Acid Co-op” is part of the tradition of transformative environmental artworks that fill or otherwise obliterate the spaces containing them. Among its points of origin are “Plein” (“Full Up”),” from 1960, in which the French artist Arman filled the Galerie Iris Clert in Paris with carefully sifted (nonorganic) trash; the eerie environments redolent of communal Moscow apartments with which the Russian artist Ilya Kabakov first made his name in the West in the 1980s; Jason Rhodes’s idiosyncratic massings of objects and material goods; and Gregor Schneider’s labyrinthine reconstruction of the interior of his parents’ home, near Cologne, Germany, inside the German Pavilion at the 2006 Venice Biennale.

i always like to give credit to msmers when they confront their betters in the blogosphere and elsewhere. here chuck todd faces off with glenn greenwald who took him to task yesterday. sadly chuck is greatly outmatched intellectually. sad for us that is.
