Apple's stock did rise, as (I) expected, against a falling market! But fell with everybody elses stock when compaq released a low dividend. The whole computer industry paid the price in our skittish (stupid) market. Then the 7.0 debacle proceeded along, much to the chagrin of profeesionals on the net who had to release a negative rating and a few (read one) analyst's ratings of the stock was (oooh) downgraded, causing severe repercussions of a few points on the already hurting stock. Don' speculate on the market unless you can afford to gamble in casinos. Of course, there is always the apple ethics of buy in summer, sell in winter (or is it the other way around? surely someone at apple.com can read this and correct me).
