   The Goldman reccomendation makes more sense if you add to it the phrase, “So give us your money”

   What’s Goldman’s angle? Pump and Dump?

   For Apple to go higher it would need:
   1) A New Product
   2) or, Proof it’s taking more market share, in phones or computers or software.

   I like the company as an engine of slick innovation.
   My skepticism of GS would make me ask, “Did they just jump on board at $310?”

   Yawn!!!?????

   At the time of the original post – 2pm – yes, a yawn. But what about when coupled with the price action in AAPL and Nasdaq in the last 60min of trading?
   I have 2 question i wish i knew the answers to:

   #1 – Did the action in AAPL (upgrade, all-time high, selloff) cause the market selloff, or the other way around?
   #2 – Does a security becomes an automatic “sell” if GS recommends, upgrades, raises target, or otherwise promotes it to the “outsiders?”

   What do you think? Have you paid attention these past few years?

   one could also look at it as your classic accumulation – distribution phases in the stock and GS blatantly calling in the next phase to begin distributing.

   Between these two:
   Apple: $295B market cap, $11.7B free cash flow
   Microsoft + Amazon.com: $311B market cap, $19.5B free cash flow
   I would take the latter.
