Apple will make a major comeback.

Apple will make a terrific comeback.

If you are an options player, time to buy some call options.

Look at it from any angle and Apple is still a WINNER.

Even better, who else is there?

Coverage: SPPI, QCOR, SIMO ...

	Put/Call ratio	Guru	Momentum	MorningStar	52wk low	Misc
SPPI	0.52	4	3	5	N
QCOR	1.02	5	3	3	Y	* litigation
SIMO	0.21	4	3	4	Y
SCLN	0.86	7	2	4	N
CTB	0.21	6	3	4	N
LQDT	0.52	5	3	3	N

SPPI seems to be the only one attractive.

SIMO vs SCLN

/Both seem attractive.

SCLN is into bio-tech, China based.

SIMO develops and manufactures embedded graphics, digital signal processing, and multimedia companion chips

Both seem to have good upswing potential with strong fundamentals and
high interest from hedge funds (esp. SCLN)

Slowly but steadily Facebook will make it. (simply because is there any one else?)

Also, the Web scenario is looking bipolar.

On on side is Amazon, Google, Samsung/Sony

and on the other is:

Apple, Facebook

And the race has just begun.

Apple victory is tenuous

Apple is the innovative genius, no doubt.

Mr Cook has harnessed the supply chains and stream lined it well.

News like this:
http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/samsung-wins-victory-over-apple.html/?ref=YF
is making to sense Asian antipathy for Apple and that does not bode well.

Apple needs to be careful in picking its battles and i really hope it does so.
The OSX Lion can fight a bison for sure but should be careful in not waking up
the herd to get trampled upon in a stampede.

Apple is a great company, however Samsung/Sony are relentless guys and to add to the irony
Apple's key component suppilers. (atleast one of them)

And dont forget Microsoft and Google.
