Stock manipulation at it's finest.
Legalized gambling the stock market is.
Apple seriously needs to make itself private. F' all the goddam stock investors; they don't need to answer to anyone but consumers.

No they ain't. Just remember big phones, were here before and then it was small, and now it's big again. I could quite easily say to you that big screens are so 2003.
iOS could do with a boost tho, yes.
As long as Wall Street is filled with greedy fools, everything and anything Apple does will cause it to drop.
2013 Will be the Year to Make or Break Apple.
Apple has to come out with new Products and Innovation. The iPhone Design is over 7 Years old. Just Rehashing the iPhone with more memory and CPU is not going to cut it anymore.
Where is the New Mac Pro?, Why not enter into the Game Market with a Hardware IOS Device? Since Games it what drive 70% of the IOS App Store Revenue and IOS Device Sales.
This Year WWDC Developer Conference better make me say or Google will take over!

or Google will take over!Not saying AAPL is a bad stock to play. But these tech companies are way too volatile. Go make some money elsewhere in the market, or wait for a crash and then go all in
I guess it's time to switch to BlackBerry.
You know, I've played with a friend's BB10 and it ain't bad... That same friend is now developing for it and loves it... It was very responsive, whereas the Android devices I've used seem to have a delay... Maybe my brain is overclocked...
How is it when using it full time after a few weeks? I don't have a fricking clue... But for 5-10 minutes, it was actually pleasant.
I could see my preference would be in order: iPhone > BB10 > Android.
The saddest part of the stock tanking is that I know more than one "regular person" who invested in Apple based not only on their fundamentals, but even more so on their personal experience with the quality of product, like iPhone, etc. In other words, they are so impressed that they invested in the company that made it! Imagine...
After all, Apple is not perfect but they're clearly the best by all pertinent metrics, what could possibly go wrong? It's too bad these poor fools conflated success on Wall Street with something quantifiable or based on merit, oops.

you still need to build tens of millions of the gadgets to make money. Ive can design all he wants, but unless you have good operations guys who know how to build the devices and can source the parts its useless.
look at HTC. delayed launch because they can't build their phones
The stock rebounded nicely to 470 on nothing. That was when we could've hoped for some sort of product release to continue the positive momentum.
It will get worse, we have no reason to believe that April 23 will be anything but negative, and to top it off, we have nothing to look forward to.
I own shares, am negative, but not ready to sell. My stocks that have made me money I have had for a couple of years. These variations on a quarter to quarter basis happen.
However, I want to see some sign of progression in the coming months. Annual refreshes with tweaks keep customers, they do not attract new ones.

Now's a REALLY good time to pick up a few shares. It'll bounce back 25 points by the end of the week.
Well there was also a rumor from DigiTimes about reduced orders for iPad mini components. Of course we don't know if that's due to weak demand or if its because Apple is ramping up production on a new model (and maybe there is weak demand because people think a retina version is just around the corner).
What I find a bit suspicious is once again right before earnings, during a "quiet period" when Apple won't comment on ANYTHING, we get supply chain rumors about order cuts. Last quarter it was the WSJ claiming iPhone 5 cuts. I say suspicious because these rumors tend to come out right before earnings release when everyone knows Apple won't/can't comment on them.
its not all bad - it makes macrumors forums a nicer place as there used to be so many AAPL gloaters when the stock was at $700 but now very few people admit to owning the shares...
edit apart from guy above me
I guess you never made huge returns on your investment with AAPL then, sorry! I did. AAPL has dropped off a cliff several times in its past; it will rise again. However, most of the decrease this time is due to stock manipulation by brokerage firms. Apple's numbers don't support such a selloff.
I too was wondering what to do if I didn't go Apple, (problem is when you have a few devices - base stations - iPods - Macs - Apple TV - Phones they all gel brilliantly), I could see my preference would be in order: iPhone > Windows Phone > BB10 > Android.
But I thought Apple was executing on the roadmap Steve left them before he died? Are you suggesting Steve had run out of ideas?
They should do a massive buyback. The stock is way undervalued, and a buyback would show their confidence in themselves.
It seems the stock is coming back to where it should be. The extreme growth is waning in the mobile area, it will be a hard fight getting the remaining countries to pay-up for an full priced iPhone on the margins that Apple is used to. Verizon moving to a 2 year replacement plan away from the 18 month will hurt some as well. The mainstream folks have their smartphones and do not need to upgrade on yearly cycles. For example, my parents have iPhone 4's and that's really all they need. They say they are happy with what they have for many years to come.
The smartphone easy-money boom is over, so the excitement is relaxing to balanced growth. Only a big innovation will relight the marketplace.

Sorry but the MacPro is not what's driving AAPL stock downward. They could release the best f'ng MacPro ever tomorrow and it wouldn't move the needle on the stock one bit.2013 Will be the Year to Make or Break Apple.
