Investopedia: "Figuring Out" Apple Feels Like A Sisyphean Task

Spare a moment of pity for the Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) bears and shorts, as they have another difficult day ahead of trying to get over their cognitive dissonance.

Apple certainly had a good Christmas. Revenue in the fiscal first quarter jumped 73% from last year and 64% from the prior quarter, and did some very bad things to the prior analyst guesses. Revenue was largely strong across the board - PC sales were up 22%, iPhone sales were up 133% and iPad sales were up 99%, while iPod sales declined 26% year-on-year.
