I'll bet they had a fantastic quarter and crushed the estimates, as usual. But then they'll issue their usual super low guidance and people will freak out and sell, as usual.

Any guesses?
i guess we'll see how the new macbooks are doing. and that new monitor - i don't think it's selling all that well at that price, considering it can only work with the new macbooks
Where?They sell an adapter so it'll work with any Mac that has video out capability.
It'll be interesting to see how they're weathering this storm. At least it's nice to know they have many billions in cash reserves.
if they don't post a loss in this climate and in that sector it will be pretty amazing really
So what will we call one billion dollars in quarterly profits?
Come on aapl! go back up! i know u can!!!
Great fiction - you should write it - bestseller material
Last quarter AAPL was hammered the day after they released earnings for offering such low guidance for this quarter. Several analysts openly laughed at AAPL's guidance as absurd. Looks like the people managing AAPL's finances had a better handle on the economy's collapse than the Wall Streeters who somehow didn't see this massive collapse in the economy coming.
They will be far from going negative on income. It will likely be ticked down from the trend of the last few years... even then it should hold its own fairly well relative to the year ago quarter (nice to have the iPhone deferred revenue to buffer things).if they don't post a loss in this climate and in that sector it will be pretty amazing really

and for the few posters arguing against my previous claim....apple at $80 bucks is bascially priced as a Dell or HP. Taking out the $30/share in cash...gives you $50/share...to which free cash flow is about $8-$9/share and earnings are about $5/share....its absurd......so clearly some investors are betting...apple's products wont sell..wont work...explode...etc....how else can you justify such a low stock price?

If you had a $20 bill, but no one would give you more than $10 for it, it would only be worth $10...doesn't matter what it says on it.
I'm more afraid of the next quarter. This on could still be ok with the new laptops and Christmas... but for the next one... It's not iLife, iWorks or the 17" that would make a big difference.
Whatever $20 is worth, it's worth twice $10.
Any time you want to trade $20s for $10s I'm here for you.
no one would give you more than $10 for it
If everybody on Earth only has $10, nobody can pay you $20 for yours [...] the conditions are not the same as I proposed.
I have to laugh when someone says with great confidence that this-or-that stock is "over valued" or "under valued." The fact is, it's alway "correctly" valued -- which is why most serious market analysts rarely speak in these terms.
