Is it a good short? I’m always nervous about shorting a popular name....

Why? The flaw has already been fixed.

I'm not surprised at that conclusion from certain quarters.

It doesn't prevent them from being completely wrong. Apple is up over $5 a share since the iPhone was hacked.

Incidentally, Okie, since there are more than 800 million individual users of Apple products, it's hard to call it a cult, it would be a mainstream religion now. The Anti-Apple Hate Brigade with their level of irrational beliefs would be the cult.

Not a chance. Apple’s stock is up since the dropping of the Obama Administration’s lawsuit. There are only 20 nations whose Gross Domestic Product exceeds Apple’s current valuation.

How unoriginal. This has been the cry of Apple haters since the 1990s. You’ll soon be wrong for 3 decades. Quite a record. I’m sure sane people will ignore your nonsense.

You're just another wishful-thinking DUmmie who need never fear a sunburned scalp...

They’ll likely find the hole the FBI exploited in fairly short order and plug it. Apple never claimed their products were perfect, just good.
