The market goes up and down. In this for the long haul, so I understand the risks when purchasing APPL stock. APPL stock will go up again.
No, stock price not at all the same as how much money Apple made.
The stock price is literally how much money you'd have to pay to buy the entire company. If the company is earning money or not is totally different. The two are related because the company is worth more if it is making billions.
Yes they are. There are insider traders. As for the rest, they don't know, but neither do we.

To conform to SEC laws, they have to sell well in advance at a random date in the future. Still, everyone says CEOs selling stock means nothing, yet it seems to always plunge after they do. Might be confirmation bias.Tim Cook sold $131.7 Million in Apple Stock 10 days ago (=

Considering it's all happening across the market and not really limited to one particular company in some way, seems like it wouldn't be related and not something that could be predicted like that.
Meh. 8%. That's not a stock tank. That's a slight value correction.
No, because markets fluctuate, sectors fluctuate, currencies fluctuate, suppliers have issues, regulators cause issues, competitors innovate or fail to do so... and Apple will innovate again, but not enough in a phone that’s likely to be announced in the next couple of months to recover these losses in itself
I think the current state of Apple or any other member of FANG is good reflection of current economy in general. We live in a bubble and it might one day really burst. How much can governments intervene and rescue economy? How much money can reserves print yet before it all goes to hell?
As to the dip. Nowadays everyone and their mother trades. I've recently heard 12-year olds talking about stocks. There's opportunity in that which big funds notice and start dumping stock to cause sudden price drop. Kids see red pre-hours and for a few hours of session. Then panic sets in and so they start selling. Kids dumping stock generates more panic and more selling. Big funds that generated that drop scoop all those shares up. Robin Hood should seriously be disbanded and forbidden.
At least that's my theory.

i know that these sales have to be set up far in advance. That is not my point. I am simply saying he was lucky.
Once a company goes below $2 trillion I can't be bothered. I'm going back to checking my email on my toaster.
This is hysterical. AAPL opened the day at 120.07 (previous close was 120.88) as I type this (4pm Eastern), they are at 120.55 and are poised to end the day ABOVE where it opened (and only 0.30 less than the previous days close). So what is the story here? That in the middle of the day it dropped precipitously only to see it return to the levels it was at before close? I guess its interesting to know that it was the largest drop for a tech stock that happened in the middle of a single day, but then it must also have been one of the largest gains that happened to a tech stock in the middle of single day as well.
The story should be about some bloke executing some well timed day-trading. Someone made some good money today if they hopped in at 10:45am. Around 10:45am Eastern buy 1,000 shares at $111, around 3:30pm Eastern sell 1,000 shares at $122. In about 4 hours and 45 minutes make +$11 per share ($11,000) on your investment...

I so hope this is true. I decided to get involved in Apple stocks after the split when it was at $127. Now I don’t feel too good about it. But I will hang in there...
Funny that I was working at Apple in Ireland in 2003 when the stock was around $0,3. Didn’t buy any stocks despite some employment discount offer. Got a guitarr instead. 😆

A while back Apple was worth two trillion bocks.
When talking about stock market valuations (which we are), a company is worth whatever its shareholders think it’s worth
If you posted a comment that “two plus two is not four,” then you could expect to get another ten “disagrees.”

These tech companies can grow or shrink very rapidly. it’s always the ignorance of the obvious that catches people off guard. We all wonder if Apple after Steve is running out of steam. Industrial engineering can only go so far when the innovation fails to wow! Technology now seems to be more of a poison Apple rather than a red delicious or honeycrisp.

He wouldn't have set that up recently. It was likely planned some time ago. Corporate executives do this quite regularly, because it avoids running afoul of insider trading laws.
