I agree with you about free cash flow that is why I own so many shares. But keeping profits off the bottom line keeps appreciation from happening because of negative press. I'm staying long regardless of what happens.

AAPL is going to continue to react to China since they are pushing exposure there and it's assumed that is why the phone sales came in light (right or wrong as that is) vs. "analyst" estimates.
That's exactly my concern SF. China takes a dump as whole and suddenly those 121's are underwater by $5 with 3 days to go. If I can get out this AM at break even or around that I will. Live to fight another day. I like the futures today, so that should help.
Nice numbers for SIRI this morning. Even better guidance. Hopefully that translates into $4+ sp again...but as you pointed out before, I think there might be a lot of selling at that price and it could act as a short term ceiling...either way, it's good news.
They kept saying the settlement payment will be paid next month...did i hear that right? And the settlement payment will be excluded from q3 fcf.
As far as streaming global...not happening anytime soon!
