    Hmmm…
    Your China excitement is interesting. It is surprisingly similar to Schiff's decoupling theory. What would Mish say?

    Andrew–I listened twice to this podcast and didn't hear you mention AAPL, but your show notes say you did. Can you tell me where in the episode I can find the discussion please? Love you on TWIT and MBW. Thanks.

    Re: mgarry commented on TDI Podcast 94: The Outcome is Preordained –
    We have recently Shorted Apple in our core TDIMG portfolio, so no sure where it was mentioned, but I would think that it would be toward the end..

    You state that TDIMGS is available to most international investors, but the form following the “more info” link asks for state and zip code but no country.

    I am curious to know why you chose to short AAPL. IIRC you had a buy recommendation on AAPL when it was around 120 and it was (when you shortened it) down to around 80-90.

    Given that Apple Inc. has recently shown its best numbers (both for Q3 and Q4 of 2008), I wonder if your choice is based on psychology (Steve being on sick-leave), the market in general (everything is down), or Apple’s expected future revenue potential?

    Will look at as this is brand new this week. Will adjust…

    Thanks for the heads up..

    I am not sure where you have received recommendation on apple as mentioned as podcast and blog are general ideas or if it was from above. We mentioned buying on the recent earnings, but be careful not to assume conversations are recommendations either way as those are reserved for clients. ( I am sure you understand)

    But, yes apple ideas are trading ideas, not holds and the idea that they will be one of the only companies to beat this monster is hard to imagine

    Also Steve's health is not a positive

    That said, company looks somewhat strong in this rally and we will watch (no position currently)

Got something to say?
