I think you pointed out that the FUD on the Watch (a product that holds no interest for me, disclosure alert) started the day of its release — it’s like some big outfit (huge-assed growth mutual fund, for example) was trying to keep the price low so it could keep eating up AAPL shares. Meanwhile Apple has, what, 90 percent of worldwide profits in smartphones — the rest of the industry sharing the other 10 percent?

Apple took home 92%, Samsung took 15%. That totals 107% because all the rest either broke even or lost money. . . The industry still totaled 100% but you have to count the losses as well.
