Apple Investors the Bailout Won’t Stop What’s in Apple Store
I’ve recently come to grips with where this economy is headed, with or without the bailout. And there is no doubt that a bailout bill will stem the imminent collapse of our global financial system. But this bill is not a panacea. The fundamental economic and financial problems will still be there. What the bill will provide [...]

Apple Investors the Wilderness iPod Touch Give Away
If you’ve been reading my blog for a bit, then you probably know that I’m new to blogging about the Apple Investor scene, but not new to Apple or Investing. And you’ve probably also found that I stand alone as a guide in the Wilderness of Technical Analysts/Bloggers that focus on Apple. Well I’m glad [...]

Apple Investors are Shorts to Blame for this Mess?
I’ve had several members write me about the evil things inherent with shorting stocks, that the shorts would have run us into the ground given the opportunity, because they are evil and greed driven monsters. And that we need to ban shorts and castrate those that practiced the evil art, so that it may never [...]

Apple Investors, Join the Discussion
What was formerly the Wilderness Investor Group is now the Wilderness Forums. The Investor Group was hosted as a Google Group, but the features of the group were just too limited for the lively discussions we have on a daily basis.
So, I have setup a forum last night based on the popular phpBB forum software [...]
Apple Investors, Every Which Way But Your Way
So which way is that way? Quite frankly I don’t care at this point. Either go up or go down, but don’t fake up, then slide down, trip to the left, then stumble to the right. Man I’m getting dizzy. Maybe I should just be consoled that we’re going sideways, that’s a direction, right? Well [...]

iPhone 3G Quality Control is Dismal, Very Un-Apple-Like
You may have seen past posts where I had less than good luck with my iPhone 3G purchase. Some of it had to do with process snafus, but the root cause was material defects. Well to recap, the first iPhone had a Home button that simply did not work. The second iPhone developed a crack [...]

Apple Meets Market at the Crossroads
AAPL was on a tear today, and so were the indices, then the Big Guys got back from lunch, stymied the rally and took some profits. The Naz has clearly been leading this rally the past several days, and tested that leadership by trying to break through its downtrend line at 2450. Unfortunately the Naz [...]

Apple Investors Get that Dry Powder Ready
Check out the $BKX, the Banking Sector, it was down 5% ! This was primarily due to AIG and a 30 year Treasury auction. AIG took massive losses and was down 18.05%, WOW! This is going to get the talking heads squirming.
The Naz just barely was able to hang on to support yesterday (August 7) [...]
Wilderness Member’s Family is Apple to the Core
This article was posted in the Wilderness Investor Group by member Earsaver. It’s in response to the iPhone rant written by Thomas Hawk, and published by Seeking Alpha yesterday, August 7.
Good morning everyone.

On the Edge with the iPhone, Scoping GPS and 3G Coverage
This is the Warner Trail in Moose Hill Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, what is essentially my front yard. That’s my wife up ahead, Gyasi the Ridgeback likes to lag behind us. We take this trail most weekend mornings, so long as it’s not pouring, in the winter, spring, summer and fall. We often see Deer, Coyote, [...]

3G iPhone Case Cracked in Under 24 Hours, Back to the Apple Store
After my less than perfect Apple Store buying experience yesterday, I thought I was free and clear to enjoy my new 3G iPhone. Well, the pleasure lasted almost 16 hours. But it looks like I’ll be going back to the Apple Store with a cracked 3G iPhone.
I got up early this morning with the wife [...]
AT&T Worms in Apple iPhone Buying Experience
I bought a 3G iPhone yesterday (August 1) as an upgrade to my 1st gen iPhone. I gave the old boy to my younger daughter, now both my girls have iPhone sidearms. I bought a white 16 GB model, partly because everyone else wants the black and I’m a contrarian, partly because it won’t show [...]

Happy Mother’s Day Mrs Bass
Usually we head out to Martha’s Vineyard for Mother’s Day and make it a two-for with my daughter’s birthday being only a few days from M-Day. But this year it was not to be, due to scheduling conflicts. So, instead we headed down to Rexham Beach in Marshfield, brought Gyasi the Ridgeback, and walked the [...]

Dell PC Orphaned at Apple Store Genius Bar
I was at the Genius Bar in the South Shore Plaza Apple Store, in Braintree Ma, waiting to get a stuck latch on my MacBook Pro unstuck. And there was this Dell PC just sitting there, for quite a while, at least for the 1/2 hour I was in the store. There wasn’t anyone within range that [...]
