I brought up my investments only in response to a personal attack that you should not have made in the context of this or any other "objective discussion."
I have offered up no "conspiracy theories." This is another ridiculous accusation that you continue to make completely in contradiction of the facts. Once again, I will advise you that personal attacks are not permitted in this forum.
These are some of the theories you have tried to make,
1) The Enron Theory,
“This strains belief, and sounds suspiciously like the Ken Lay defense. It didn't work for Lay, where far more complicated financial dealings were involved, and I would not expect it to work for Jobs.”
2) The overzealous prosecution theory,
“They very well might want to make an example of somebody, preferably a prominent somebody, and Apple and Steve Jobs might just be the big fish they're looking for. We just don't know.”
3) Or the United Health theory,
“Or like this:

Sound at all familiar?”
Aiden Shaw sure thinks so,
“Spooky, just replace "UnitedHealth" with "Apple Computer", and "McQuire" with "Jobs".
It's the same story - except that Jobs hasn't been forced to resign yet.”
4) The “His Goose is Cooked” Theory,
“Personal profit isn't the main issue. Correct financial reporting is. If it can be shown that Jobs knew that the back-dated options (not just his!) should have been reported as expenses in the company's balance sheet, then his goose is almost certainly cooked. The problem is, it should not be hard to demonstrate that he knew, or at least should have known. The effort to blame all of this on two departed execs is probably not going to be enough to save him if the feds decide to pursue this issue.”
5) Back to the overzealous prosecution theory,
The feds are not going to care two hoots about how important Jobs is to Apple.
6) The “I’m going broke theory.”
Bottom line: I can't afford wishful thinking. I've got too much of my own money at stake.
7) The “Hung by his Thumb Nails Theory”
“If Jobs gets hung by his thumbs by the feds over this, he will leave, and not because the board wants it to happen.”
8) The personal attack theory,
“All of which is more than you deserve to know.”
(Um why did you tell me your personal issues, if it’s more than I deserved to know?)
Like I said, I’m not a psycriatrest, so I can’t help you on that one. But you seem to get order of the post mixed up.
I’ll call that one the “Innocecnt Victom Theory.”
“Ah, but apparently we're not allowed to express our concerns as stockholders, lest we be accused of being "bomb throwers" and "conspiracy theorists."
Conclution: I’msorry but that seems lot of spin to me.
