PROTECT ALL: I appreciated your post. It was refreshing to see a post that seemed to be based on logic not hype one way or the other. The hypes are from both sides. I am long with my first purchase of Apple about 6 years ago for $80. I could sell at any time with a good profit by I think I can still make more money here than with other stocks. I'm fine with a drop until it hits the $500 range then I might think about selling, however, I do think this will rebound if not by the end of the year, certainly in 2013 and will hit $700 $800.
