AAPL and the Current Economic and Political Exhaustion

Cotton, It looks like the market downturn and the political season have left most of us exhausted. To top it off, Nader's presidential bid is cause enough for us to shudder ... imagine Four more years of Dubbya !!!!

I attribute the recent downturn in the market due to a lack of confidence by investors that the current economic picture will improve much in the near future. More corporate layoffs are in the offing as outsourcing labor intensifies.

I see AAPL stock drifting until the results of Apples latest efforts begin to payoff in increased sales and a revamp of Apples iMac line.


On the positive side the Open Source software initatives for both OS X Darwin and Linux are reinvigorating the IT industry. The mountain of Freeware and Shareware Applications for OS X and Linux is staggering. This is putting alot of pressure on Microsoft to produce better products.

BR, Altaire4 !!!
