So, you're looking at stock prices which have been hammered down by shorts, "sky-is-falling" bloggers obsessed with negatives (perceived or otherwise) and other hysterics rather than focusing on the fact that the company is kicking butt – still – in a crummy economy. Not impressed. Oh yeah, it is the Times after all.

Interesting. Reminds me a little of the Hans Rosling charts that he uses when he gives his TED talks, but Hans' are far more fascinating as he talks while they move. Go take a look at one of his many talks. He's the best.

For PED: Did you look at that chart for the one year timeframe? Would like you to comment on the implications of that. Need some more info on the chart scaling also. Thanks

ex ped: If you slide over to the one-year time frame, the Year and Time Frame [One Year] circles line up, naturally enough, and nobody looks good, from Qualcomm (-24.12%) to Ciena Corp (-85.67%). Apple, at -47.2%, falls somewhere toward the middle.
