Re: The stock is vastly overpriced. 07/23/08
Michael - I actually have to agree with zoomaddict here. Yes, you heard me. The Big Bear, as Bearish as he is, agrees that Apple is "a no-brainer buy for at least the next year". The wild card here, of course, is the health of Steve.

Re: AAPL - trade higher right into the end of the QTR. 06/23/08
I'd say I agree with you until I saw the last sentence ; ) AAPL & GOOG are all long-term buys in my opinion. It'd take lots of guts to short against those smart asses @ aapl & goog!!

Re: Symantec Named in “Most Dangerous Stocks” List 06/10/08
holy cow are you serious ?

Re: faster is better 06/10/08
Yeah aaple is definitely a solid long-term buy. However speaking of entry point, don't you think right now might not be the best time to get in?

Re: Citi's mistakes will cause stock to re-test the lows 05/10/08
Have you ever wondered how low can all these financial plays go?

Re: Yahoo! Execs in Alternate Universe 05/05/08
Is Mr. Yang the goat for all these? Or can we really trust him for these turnaround promise? Afterall, Yahoo does seem to have a few interesting new products added to their lineup.

MSFT withdrew YHOO offer!!! 05/04/08
Oh no - or oh yes? Microsoft has walked away from YHOO offer - I don't think they're bluffin' http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/03/breaking-microsoft-walks/ Now what? Is YHOO now a $15-stock overnight? Can it eventually bounce back?

Re: Goldman Sachs is Andy Dufresne 05/01/08
Sweet. I'd guess GS is also on Cramer's "Best of Breed" list =)

Re: Smokin.... 04/29/08
darn this is too funny

Re: Starbucks: Even the Coffee Tastes Good at These Levels 04/29/08
Interesting to see all these experts having conflicting opinions on SBUX. Thoughts anyone?
