Jeff Matthews calls "bull" on the idea that Apple(AAPL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Sun Microsystems(SUNW - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) might merge. Just to add to this, people have been speculating about this merger since 1994, when Apple stock was caving in and looked like a bankruptcy under Amelio. It didn't happen then, and I believe Jeff that it won't happen now. Thank God.
Great analysis by The Peridot Capitalist of all the negatives baked into the Capital One(COF - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) story and why those negatives might not be as bad as people are thinking.
Fantastic post on how genius works.
