Pupule portfolio

Is this commercial real estate issue a real problem or is CNBC just looking for more crap to scare the market with? I don't trust media in general, and for good reason. It's always about filling space in the headlines, filling a certain unwritten "quota" of bad news, day in and day out.

Screw the media. I want real answers, not stupidass gibberish about supposed commercial real estate issues. And if that's a problem, what in the hell does it have to do with Apple's bottom line?

Same deal with this problem with the Iranians and our Navy. Media jumps all over it like it's the catalyst for WWIII, but leave it to Ben Stein to set it straight: It was a few idiots on a speedboat trying to stir up crap. Ignoring them was the best response. Stein is right. That's no reason to get involved in yet another war. You wouldn't waste time with the schizophrenic fool sitting on a curb. Why waste time with a few in a speedboat? The media thinks that it has a responsibility to blow everything up to epic proportions. Bastards.

Anyway, this may have been the bulk of the bottom — today's early dip, that is. If not, so be it. Here's what I've added to the faux Pupule portfolio.
