I never said acquisitions are a sign of bad things to come, I said it could be a sign of slower growth...and I know Apple has made many acquisitions, but they are typically small companies...Apple has over $100 billion in cash, so when I say Apple making an acquisition could be a sign that Apple's growth is slowing, I'm talking about a big acquisition, $20+ billion
I assume you're long Apple...my advise to you is, regardless of the points you just made, never fall in love with a stock.
