When apple launched the latest iphone it was not even the best phone on the market. That is the death cross.

So Joe public is bearish Apple and the Daily Moan are getting excited about a "death cross" with some vague explanation of what it is.
That's a screaming buy in my book.

I think the Microsoft desktop, tablet, phone, xbox combination will eventually be very strong and a lot of people will want to converge to that eventually.
HTC and Nokia will do quite well in the next few years from that.

I think now MS have released a decent OS for mobile and tablets consumers will find it difficult to resists the ease of integration with Windows. I expect windows Phones to take over iOS in the next year or two. Apple have had their day in the sun.

Underneath it says HTC are losing money in 2012, that is wrong.
Do you even know how to read graphically presented data?

And yet they still have over 70% of the profits in the phone market.
If Apple shares adjust downwards to a more sensible level, it probably isn't a bad thing. But they aren't exactly about to go bust, with the stack of cash they have and ever-increasing profits ($8.2 billion on revenue of $36 billion in the last quarter, up from $6.6 billion on $28.3 billion in the same quarter last year; or $8.67/share over $7.05/share, if you prefer it that way).
EDIT: ah, just seen the OP linked to the Mail, so we don't even need to see the figures to know it's bollocks
