Experts Don't Know Any More Than We Do
Experts offers differing opinions on Apple's future [MacCentral]
Read the comments from readers. They're more insightful than those of the so-called experts.
Here's how analysts look at Apple in my experience.
Analyst: "Apple Computer cannot continue to be a viable stand-alone business spending the high percentage of revenues it lavishes on R&D."
Headline: Apple Reduces R&D Expenditures, Focuses on Near-Term Sales
Analyst: "Without the ongoing R&D budget support that allows it to be leading-edge and different, Apple is a 'me-too' company. Given that it's outside the mainstream of Windows, it can't survive without spending much more on R&D."
Substitute for R&D spending whatever your favorite Apple target is: pricing, manufacturing, industrial design, market choice.... It's always the same story.
Analysts don't know squat. They're making SWAGs that aren't very S most of the time. (Scientific Wild Ass Guess).
My advice? Ignore them, just as Apple has learned to do.
