"Source: CNBC\nFORTUNE &amp;#8212; To counteract what they perceived as stream of clueless Apple \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAAPL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t commentary on CNBC, three long-time participants of Investor Village&amp;#8217;s AAPL Sanity board agreed to be interviewed by Simon Hobbs Friday morning for the network&amp;#8217;s Squawk on the Street segment.\nI had mixed feelings about the plan. The managers of the private, invitation-only online community have been kind enough to let me listen in on &amp;#8212; and occasionally participate in &amp;#8212; their ongoing discussion of all things Apple, and I&amp;#8217;ve found it an invaluable resource. The board&amp;#8217;s 600 members &amp;#8212; a number of them Apple millionaires many times over &amp;#8212; have highly tuned antennae for any news that could affect the stock and a well-honed skepticism for filtering out what they like to call Apple FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt). The last thing they needed, I felt, was a flood of newbies ruining the neighborhood.\nI needn&amp;#8217;t have worried. Despite their inexperience in the klieg lights and Simon&amp;#8217;s somewhat breathless commentary, the three members &amp;#8212; co-founder Desiree Owen, advertising executive David Thall and retired military intelligence officer JB Nabors &amp;#8212; acquitted themselves well. But so far only a handful of new requests for membership have come in to what CNBC&amp;#8217;s graphics department kept insisting was APPL (sic)\u00A0Sanity, and the site&amp;#8217;s managers are wisely asking prospective members to first spend three months participating in Investor Village&amp;#8217;s public Apple board so they can be fairly judged on the quality of their posts.\nAll in all, I thought it was a useful segment, and I&amp;#8217;ve posted a copy below and on YouTube."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
