This last week was very tumultuous because of the stock option woes.
If apple releases a good phone, with a great implementation plan, it might help the stock. There are no guarantees with stocks.
The stock options weren't the only driver behind last week, but thats more of an opinion. It was probably a bit of a correction at the very least.
