Student Debt Consolidation: Student Debt Consolidation - Debt Consolidation Programs

In two columns last month (Peril and Prospects in Tech and Cisco, Apple & Probabilities), I suggested that investors take a closer look at Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL), a stock I had been buying (and still own). I knew the stock was very unpopular and that I would have to put up with sardonic emails like this one: "You lost ALL credibility when you stated that you bought Apple. hahahahahaha!!!!!" Such reasoned discourse...

But I like buying unpopular stocks when I believe there's a reasonable chance that the company might rebound fairly quickly from its difficulties, yet the stock price reflects a worst-case scenario. This type of bottom fishing is not my preferred long-term buy-and-hold style of investing, but when I see a situation where I think my maximum downside is a 10-20% decline and there's a decent chance of making 50-100% in a year or two, I'll often take it.

In a physical clash which saw a half-dozen yellow cards, Zullo in particular came in for some heavy treatment - first from Sydney skipper Tony Popovic and then right back Iain Fyfe, who floored Zullo with solid bump well away from the ball.

Fyfe's challenge will likely come under review.

Pint-sized Sydney star Juninho also copped a few knocks - most notably from Craig Moore early, and then Josh McCloughan in the second half.

Sydney, though, suffered the biggest blow of a scoreless first half when influential midfielder Robbie Middleby hobbled off with a hamstring strain just 25 minutes in. More>>
