AAPL died with Steve Jobs. It's been a zombie since then and it is becoming apparent to the rest of the world now.
At 538, that seems a bit harsh IMO.

AAPL in the mid520's has looked to me like an attractive bottom. Very close to where we are. Going into the Christmas season, AAPL on the downturn with IPad Mini and iPhone5 appears attractive. AppleTV is on the horizon. Seems another great opportunity. For the last year+ I've been a product fan, but not a stock buyer. I'm on the cusp!

Facebook is a similar situation. Blew it off since the IPO announcement. The IPO was a historic disaster. Just terrible.
But the stock has fluctuated in a trading range since August. Now once again at ~20 it's starting to at least attract trading range incentivization, and maybe long term positives.

I actually think, just by the numbers, the stock is getting to be attractive. I just am the only apple hater in the sea of 1,000 lovers and I can't let it be a one sided argument.

In reality, the things I have been preaching (margin compression) are beginning to be accepted as a possibility. Even before Jobs died, I was blown away that nobody was talking about margin compression. Since he's died, I've been even more bearish on the stock because it's easy to be evolutionary and he left a lot of ides in the pipe, but I won't be a believer again until they show that they can create the next thing that people don't know they want. Shrinking an iPad doesn't cut the mustard in my book.
