I have been fielding quite a few calls about Apple's filing of the 'Mobile Me' patent. Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

The ISM manufacturing number was really stronger than expected. Obviously we've seen a sell-off in the U.S. bond market. As a result of this, people are calling for one or two more Fed moves.

I can never understand how we have been able to follow these worn-out tracks, which have been laid down by panic in the face of nature.

It's always great to get a little bit of redemption, not against the UNH players, but for myself. It's a really satisfying feeling.
