China watched America build up China, until China is now a larger economy than America is.

Not true:

Dear Timmy stop crying to Cramer. And bring back some manufacturing to the USA. China implodes your stock implodes.Man up or something.

Apple iMacs are manufactured in Elk Grove, California. . . Apple MacPros are manufactured in Austin, Texas. Last time I looked those are in the USA. Do you maintain they are not? Many components of the iPhone and iPad are manufactured in the USA.

Apple is just one of the over 500 companies that contract with HonHai Precision industries, Ltd. of Taiwan, parent corporation of FoxConn Technology Group which assembles their products.

The letter was not "crying to Cramer" but telling the truth about SALES in China. It had nothing about production, but a major market for Apple. Try to get your facts correct.

I think they will show a lot more interest in what Cramer did with that info. He manages a fund also. I don’t think Cook did anything wrong.

Exactly. Cooks job is to promote Apple's and AAPL's stability. . . He is authorized to make statements on behalf of the company and to get them disseminated. Giving that information to a journalist at CNBC who has a program that is aired just as the market opens on Monday morning is sensible. All others will be reporting in limited print, internet, or later media. The one who "reported" the so-called violation was CNBC's weekend-anchor who doesn't have a program until this weekend. . . nor a podium to speak from until later in the day. Personally, I think he was jealous that he did not get an email too. However, what was HE going to do with it? Scoop his own network?

Now, it it turns out that Jim Cramer bought in for his fund and then announced it, and then sold on the spike upward, then there would be hell to pay for him. What we are talking about there is day trader shenanigans, not the stuff that fund managers would do. But the market was not open. . . and after-and-before hours trading for funds is not possible. They have to wait until the market opens for their orders are exercised. As far as I can learn, Cramer lead off his report with the Cook missive. That doesn't give much time for him to act.

Somehow I can[t see 2% as an “aggressive move” and the 2% surely did not cause all the crashing going on. The 2% was a move to try to catch the already falling knife.

The Dow bulls stopped running to graze and meander about the meadow a year ago. Then last week the sinkhole opened under them.

And after the “correction” they tell us is “normal and healthy stuff”, the futures are up an insane 600 or so this morning. All this despite China continuing to tank and being a big part of why it dropped in the first place.

Not sure you’ve looking at the real “America” number.

China now exports more than America exports. And China is growing, fast.

America needs to bring back American businesses.

Stop building up our competition.
