I can't believe idiots would sell off shares based on a story from the New York Post!

"naked short selling AAPL still legal"

The other half of the truth:
"The SEC states that "Naked short selling is not necessarily a violation of the federal securities laws or the Commission's rules," and clarifies that in some circumstances, it can contribute to market liquidity. However, naked shorting to drive down share prices violates US law."

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_short_selling)

"D. Are short sales legal?

Although the vast majority of short sales are legal, abusive short sale practices are illegal. For example, it is prohibited for any person to engage in a series of transactions in order to create actual or apparent active trading in a security or to depress the price of a security for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of the security by others. Thus, short sales effected to manipulate the price of a stock are prohibited."

I was in a meeting at Apple just a few weeks ago, Steve came in conference room and said Hello to us. He looked fine, he was full of energy and in a great mood. Steve has always been thin so, I'm not sure what all the concern is over. I'd bet on Steve out living Monkey Boy by many many years.

Is anybody here old enough to remember the days when the New York Post was a real newspaper? It's true, it was. But that was before it became the NY version of Weekly World News. You believe anything in there and you'll soon be wrapping your head in aluminum foil.

@ ron,

I might not know where to put the post, but after this weekend, I learned how to make a pencil disappear!

(I'm almost afraid to push "Submit")

Brilliant. Tabloid journalism has come to the business world. What's the betting we'll be seeing upskirt shots of female executives within a year?

@Moo the pencil pusher

I'd wouldn't be Posting about all your past submissions if I were you.

"Is anybody here old enough to remember the days when the New York Post was a real newspaper?"

It was NEVER a real newspaper.

The New York Post was founded as a propaganda rag by the traitor, Alexander Hamilton. Its original purpose was to slander Thomas Jefferson and the other patriots who stood against the unconstitutional expansion of federal power that Hamilton schemed and lied to achieve.

Since its founding, the NYP has ALWAYS worked against the people of the United States. To hell with them.

I was having dinner with Steve last month. He looked weak and tired, he was confused and grumpy. Steve has always been losing weight since his diagnosis of cancer. My oncologist colleague suggested that Job's prognosis was probably not positive. I'd hope that Steve will survive 2008.

Fer reals.

I lost one hundred pounds, nobody tells me I am too thin or sickly.

@Broker

Thanks. It was a joke/sarcasm.
Next time I'll attach that label.

FUDpucker Sorxy,

Depends, were you a morbidly obese mound of shaking and shimmying fat tissue or were you a person with a BMI of 20?

It's all a numbers game, folks. Why anybody puts any weight on the stock market nowadays is beyond me.

Thank you for your insensitive pack of lies. You've been hanging around here of late baiting us into a phlegm war. There's just one small problem: you won't succeed. A suggestion: if you are going to try to be a troll, please try to apply some deeper thought and originality. At least make it interesting. Otherwise, picking on you would be no fun.

Behind my house is a stand of woods. I see all kinds of wildlife, from deer to coyotes, to mountain lions, hawks, owls and other animals. I've been fascinated by what happened to a hawk when it tried to disrupt the woods. At first, it terrorized smaller animals. Then before long, the crows appeared. The hawk might have been vicious, but the large number of crows eventually forced it off, and the hawk flew away.

The same thing will eventually happen to you.

Have a nice day.

Someone a little cranky today?

You name dropper, you.

Eat crow, fanboi.

Steve Jobs should personally tell the analists today at the earnings report the state of his health and end this crap reporting once and for all!

The more you fanbois "ignore" me with your numerous pathetic posts, the more I realize what an incredibly stupid and delusional lot you are.

Who better to demonstrate the nonsense and idiocy of fanbois that fanbois themselves.

Thank you!

The NY post is a piece of shit rag. Period. It's hardly a newspaper.

@History Lesson

Stop it. We all know you're really Aaron Burr masquerading as some unbiased history buff. Just because Hamilton tricked you into shooting him doesn't mean you have to saint Thomas Jefferson.

I don't respect people who count and focus on money, stock prices, etc. for a living- just like I have a problem with lawyers and politicians. It is despicable that there are those who use the status of a man's health merely to play their money game. Legitimate concerns, yes... But for people to come out and bring up the subject of Jobs' health, or proclaim that Obama would be bad for the economy, are taking us for a ride and obviously also have another agenda.

Please ignore the troll. Most of us know who it is and why he should always be ignored.

Hello, Mr. Editor, I'm with the SEC and you're under investigation for stock price manipulation.

Pick-a-rumor:

Maybe it's not Steve's health that the issue, but the quality of his care and competency of his physicians.

Could be, too, that despite his physicians' sage advice Steve has chosen the macrobiotic diet and mantra yammering as a cure of his own cancer. If so, Steve has lost his mind, and when that happens, all else is lost.

Or, Jobs, by sheer maniacal determination, lives to see his iPhone capture 1% of the market. How ironic, by driving himself to an early death his fanbois can call each other on their iPhones to commiserate upon the untimely demise of Apple's CEO.

I hope Steve will not end one of his presentations with: "One more thing.......I will die within 2 weeks".

I've been through the Mac site, to see a troll with no name
It felt good, to be part of his pain
In the Mac site, you should make up a name
cause there ain't no way you can hide from disdain

@alphabet soup

So let me get this straight. You come to an Apple fan site and what do you find... Apple fans. Wow. You are astute. How's that job at Homeland security working out. With your penchant for uncovering mystery, you might be able to go to Pakistan and ... dare I say ... find some terrorists.

Keep up the fair work, Murray.
