$0.02: apple

The cautious contrarian in me says there is more to Apple’s pursuit of the US Samsung phone sale ban than meets the eye. I think a cloud of disappointment looms over the iPhone 5 and the ban is a strategic move by Apple to prevent Samsung from gaining ground and increasing its market share with the Samsung Galaxy SIII that have gotten rave reviews. Though the stock price may not suffer tremendously, should the iPhone 5 disappoint, the moral may hit a low point given the recent earnings miss and cause the September cash harvest to fall short of its quota.

PS: In being mindful of the “cautious” element in my contrarian views, I will leave this thought spate open-ended to be concluded post iPhone 5 release…
