Apple Stock Cult Threatens SAI, Forms "Group" To Drive Stock Higher

Henry Blodget | June 20, 2008 11:01 AM

Picture 14.pngWe chatted about Apple (AAPL) this morning on Yahoo TechTicker. Specifically, we discussed whether Apple's iPhone is really a threat to Nokia (video below and Dan's detailed analysis here). We don't recall saying anything particularly negative, but a special "group" of Apple-stock meatheads was nonetheless enraged:

You lose viewers if you write bullshit articles on AAPL. If you want to write for the short sellers, more power to you, you will lose the battle b/c AAPL will eventually kill all the shorts. You have been warned. Our group will contact your advertisers and protest your web site. Take that to the bank...

The real reason for the fury? Apple's down 2% this morning. A global market collapse couldn't have had anything to do with it.

Methinks they have been reading too many Yahoo message boards - or posting on them. Then again, can you get some free publicity from this and raise site traffic?

I wouldn't worry about people who make silly threads like that. Also the coverage here has gotten better. Quality has been on the rebound at SAI. Or maybe I'm just becoming complacent.

Henry, do you really climb up here on your bully pulpit every time some jackass gets their panties up in a wad? Grow some skin, man..
Pretty sure he is kidding, David!

wow - reminds me of a gang of bullies in the proverbial schoolyard. Henry please continue calling it - "like it is". It is the honest, cut thru the BS tone that is refreshing on this site.

I don't get it, Dan. Some irrational Apple fanboys send Henry a nasty email and it's worthy of a story post?

Is your next article now going to highlight all of the Nokia fanatics you enraged yesterday?

Please stick to real content. This post is a waste of atoms.

David,

Sometimes sarcasm is the intelligent man's only appropriate response to stupidity.

I suggest reading the post in that light.
Apologies if you feel your time was wasted.

Ah Dan... NOW I can sense the sarcasm :)

The stock market is speaking, and RIMM is outperforming AAPL daily since WWDC. If anyone would acknowledge publicly I would be willing to look for a job on the Ladders, partner up with angels, read Portfolio once a day and even date Jewish woman despite being raised Presbyterian.

Full Disclosure: I am short MacTards.

I don't know why my fellow Apple-loonians would ever complain. Henry has been VERY accurate about tech and internet stocks since Late 1999.

Sometimes I think you should rename this blog to "Apple Outsider." There's more coverage of iPhone than Silicon Alley.
