Apple of My I

HHmmm..........let's think about this.......

The Fed in God's Own Country announces Quantitative Easing 3 (in other words, ejaculating electronic currency out of thin air) one day before the official global launch of I Phone 5.  It's common knowledge that the whole purpose of Quantitative Easing is to jack the stock market.

So QE 3 and the release of I Phone 5 duly sent AAPL's share price to new highs.  AAPL is the richest company on the planet and heavily invested in by every hedge fund manager and his crack whore.

According to various news reports, the I Phone 5 was expected to set new sales records.  But has it...?? There are reports suggesting that devices were held back in order to induce hype and drive the share price;  There are other reports suggesting that the actual sales of I Phone 5 over the global launch period are less than the I Phone 4S.  And AAPL'S stock price slid.......

And what kind of user reviews is I Phone 5 getting...?  Mixed.  Ignoring for the moment the flak AAPL is getting for dumping Google Maps (no love lost between those 2) there doesn't appear to be anything that thrilling about the new device.  It's longer screen is still less than Samsung's and it still looks like a brick.

Oh....and Foxconn, that Taiwanese company that has the official AAPL contract for the manufacture in China of the I Phone 5 - and its earlier iterations - as well as the IPad and therefore has the capability to reverse engineer both products, recently announced that it will open its own retail stores (it's already opened one in Brazil).

Did you get that fags?  The company that has the manufacturing monopoly on the world's most hyped up device as well as manufacturing devices from other companies, announces that IT will open IT'S own retail stores.  What ever will they sell.....???

Several of the brands manufactured by the company.

In other words, Foxconn (not AAPL) can dictate what products it decides to re-sell - and at what price.

What will that do to AAPL's profit margin from now on.....???
