I'm making a list of things to short going into the fiscal cliff. Widely-held stocks that have gone up a lot, so people have lots of unrealized gains they'd rather take at the lower tax rate this year.

Apple is going pear shaped ?

Clearly not what I said. I think there will be a wave of trades selling it ahead of the tax increases before the year ends. There is nothing fundamental about Apple that makes it look rotten. Yet.
