Interpreting the Apple Bashboys

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I own Apple (AAPL). I also write about Apple.

As you might imagine -- seeing as I own the stock -- when I write about Apple, I tend to be optimistic about its growth prospects.

I accept the fact that there are many Apple bears out there. They are welcome to put their views out there in the marketplace of ideas and let the public judge them over time.
