Interesting article on AAPL and possible manipulation.

[(vikm)]

Some speculation (seems very possible) as to why AAPL has seemingly been getting jerked over on the price. Good points are made along with citation. If you believe the premise of the article, there's probably no better time to buy more shares (unless of course it continues to tank today. Then tomorrow is probably better ). Regardless if you buy into the theory, it's interesting nonetheless. Especially good if you're all about conspiracies... like me in this case!

As I said before, I'd hold. There is no reason for AAPL to be dropping aside from either manipulation or downright panic.

I think something is rotten in Denmark. If it turns out to be true, there will be hand slapping at best and nowhere near the level it needs to be. Maybe call options should made illegal.

Earnings are next week. I think a miss is already priced in with the recent drop.

P/E of 11, dividend yield of 2%...
