Prudential warns on AAPL
CBS Marketwatch notes that Prudential Equity has issued a regarding the recent run-up of Apple's stock price. "We believe that recent investors, lured by the success of the iPod and iTunes (and associated opportunities for higher CPU attach rates) have been the driving force behind near-term momentum in the shares. Market speculation around potential Sony takeover also may have contributed. Following recent checks, we believe that the quarter is likely tracking in-line with our estimate for a 10 percent sequential revenue decline to $1.805 billion, and earnings of 9 cents per share. We are concerned, however, that at current price levels, investors may be expecting material upside in the quarter." Shares of Apple have risen about 20 percent this month.

Ridiculous
This is so typical.
If Apple's stock does bad everybody goes like "ah they're doomed, sell your stock as fast as you can"
If Apple's stock is doing good "ah, be careful, it's way overrated and tomorrow they will go chapter 11..."
Just another example of how silly the stock market analysts are.
While they were dooming Apple for the last 20 years, the company changed the world of computing.
What a bunch of idiots.
