For those sleepless nights?
« on: November 05, 2008, 04:03:28 PM »
I'm sure that lots of analysts read these things. And there is probably some good info in there. But isn't the "scary' headline a little over the top? dntknw.gif I think these things are always supposed to be conservative reports, listing any known problem(s) a corporation might face. And Apple has always always offered exceedingly pessimistic outlooks...

Anyone know how this compares to the last few years?

Oh yeah, <the link...> wallbash.gif

That's what they call "CYA" to prevent any future lawsuits.  wink.gif


And they forgot to include the effects of manipulation by so-called analysts and bloggers like that guy.  rolleyes.gif

Jim,

Read the disclaimer that comes with any drug. For example, after reading aspirin's warning, you will never take the drug again. I believe there are over two dozen calmities, disasters, death-inducing effects an aspirin can cause!! All drugs have similar warnings. It's all due to lawyers of course. They make their fortunes by scaring makers and their customers half to death to avoid lawsuits.

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

And they do a good job of building those fortunes! I agree, wholeheartedly, with your comments, that's why I thought the article and the headline was 'over-the-top.' salute.gif Still, I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep...smile.gif
