The rest were 'holds,' which investors have learned to view as 'sells'. The lesson to learn here is that if you are investing in individual stocks you must do your own homework. Never buy or sell because an analyst raises or lowers a rating unless your independent research confirms his or her thinking on the matter. BTW, I'm not an analyst, just a lowly online trader trying to learn proper punctuation. But don't take my advice either.
Advice is just a disguised form of nostalgia.
A Gap Millard Drexler, president and chief executive of Gap Inc., joined the newly expanded Apple Board of Directors last week. This is really bullish news for anyone familiar with the dismal state of Apple's retail presence at CompUSA and in Europe . The Mac retail market has been looking up recently with Sears coming onboard and CompUSA's sincere effort to reverse their horrible image. Still, the retail picture is the weakest link in Apple's business model. Let's hope that Drexler's marketing savvy will help resolve the complex web of issues that hinder Apple's retail sales.
