QOTD: Think Different

In this environment where nobody is buying anything and you come out with a kick-ass product, you might get a lot of wows and woos, but that does not convert into sales. So that’s a wasted effort.”

Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry says Apple may not innovate its way through this particular downturn.

    The Tripster is nothing if not consistent, as in consistently wrong. He’s blown so many calls on Apple one wonders if his pronouncements aren’t really coded “buy” signals for the company’s stock.

    I guess some analysts don’t actually listen to Apple’s financial meetings then? I mean, Jobs recently pointed (figuratively) to the big pile of cash they have, combined with a lack of debt, and said – as hard economic times approached – that they would “innovate” their way through the downturn.

    Maybe we should come up with a new aphorism? People who can do, people who can’t analyze.

    To be fair, this is a fairly widely held view given Apple’s lofty margins/pricing/etc., but I have to say that I am through taking seriously so-called experts like Chowdry who make the same macro commentary independent of any specifics about the company.

    Cheers,
