Comments on: Apple saved by record earnings? http://podtech.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/apple-saved-by-record-earnings/ Opinion from Silicon Valley Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:57:14 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: gwhiz http://podtech.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/apple-saved-by-record-earnings/#comment-34846 gwhiz Fri, 27 Apr 2007 12:07:32 +0000 http://podtech.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/apple-saved-by-record-earnings/#comment-34846 Wonder what kind of deeper scrutiny Murrell would prefer to see!? Let's say Apple's earnings HAVE deflected attention (for now). Then iPhone will deflect attention further in July. And Leopard in June and who knows what else inbetween! I don't see that happening. No one gets a pass with federal prosecutors/investigators. The SEC doesn't give a rat's behind about earnings, product releases and the like. Their investigators are bulldogs not easily deterred and if there is a murky bottom to the matter... they'll drain the lake or dredge until they find what they sense is there. But, if they come out and say "This deal is over. Jobs is cleared and Heinen is our sole subject of interest..." Well, it sucks to be in the box.
