It's hardly dumping if they are making record profits.

Dumping is selling at a loss, like Toshiba is doing with the HD-DVD
players.

Almost every company on the planet lowers the price of the "old model"
just before or when the "new model" arrives. It's standard business
practice to get rid of old stock still on shelves.

"Record profits" make the stock price INCREASE, not drop....

Touche'

I direct your attention to the EIGHTY DOLLAR DROP in the stock price
since only January 1, 2008 during the iPhone's wonderful sales "record
profits"

$80 represents a 40% DROP in the price of Apple stock since Jan 1, 2008.

"Record Profits" my ass......something bad is happening.

Now, I'd like to direct your attention to the forced reported stock
sales by the top Apple brass who know what's going on that YOU and Vic
don't.
Ignoring Al Gore's massive 600 shares for a moment before you start
laughing like I am, notice how FEW shares the other jokers at the top of
this dogpile actually own.

If my company were making "RECORD PROFITS" and its outlook were just
wonderful, I'd take those $5 (Jobs' option price) to $20 option shares
and PILE THEM UP FOR GREAT PROFITS! The list goes back to '06 and they
CONTINUE to dump shares, not buying any more AT ALL since Jan 2007!
That's real faith in Apple's company health, isn't it?! THEY DON'T OWN
THEIR OWN COMPANY STOCK! Look who dumped it at the bottom of the list!

9-Mar-06 JOBS STEVEN P
Officer 4,573,553 Direct Disposition (Non Open Market) at $64.66
- $64.66 per share. $295,726,000

Why would anyone be so stupid as to dump 4.5M shares when the stock was
headed for $200/share?? He doesn't "need the money"! Doesn't make any
sense. Insiders dump stock when they THINK the company is going DOWN!

Most curious...most curious, indeed.... His deeds don't reflect the guy
in blue jeans and t-shirt hawking product on stage...

See the point? What's wrong with Apple? Something ain't right!
