I could not help but read the comments on Brett’s call for shorting Visa and the other conversations around shorting Apple. I have to disagree with both calls. Visa is not a short because everyone thinks its going to be the next Mastercard. Visa actually makes more money than Mastercard. I’m wondering what the catalyst would be for Visa to drop? I really don’t see any. They reporting GOOD, not great numbers but the bottom line is that you really can’t fight the tape and expect to win. I would BUY visa on a pullback. The stock is may reach $100 in 6 months. Shorting Apple now may make a little more sense given the move from 120 to where we are today, but I still contend that that is risky as well. I think the stock will ramp to $200 until the 3G iPhone release and maybe pause there. Fundamentally, how could you justify shorting apple now anyhow? The company is minting money and hoarding crazy amounts of cash. They have the best tech CEO in the Biz in Steve Jobs and everyone knows its a matter of time before the iPhone becomes the 800 pound gorilla in the cellular business. Their PC business is taking share from other competitors at an accelerating rate. I just do not get the short call on Apple, especially not the long-term.
