In your storm analogy you could also mention that the strong, well commanded ship comes through the storm and arrives in port undamaged - the poorly prepared, badly commanded ship sinks. We all know Apple seems uniquely prepared for the current turmoil, and this will show up as we come out of it.

Apple is still opening stores at a fast clip. Watch for layoffs, slowdown in openings or store closings as I believe the staff numbers and the high number of stores are a potential weakness for Apple

I believe your analysis is unduly pessimistic. Apple is an international company which is just starting to gather steam in markets such as India, China, Russia and Japan. I understand the US market is tanking and this will drag everything down, but if investors are looking for any port in this storm Apple is as good as any.

The importance of absolutely first class industrial design throughout all Apple products cannot be underestimated. Apple is fortunate in having top design people involved and Steve Jobs keeps it on track. When he was not with Apple their design standards aped the competitors. Now the competitors try to copy Apple - but fortunately never come close.

Apple has lots of loot in the kitty - where is it invested? With the banking sector in turmoil I hope it's not in all the junk that the financial institutions have been marketing
