K - wait a sec here.
For the next Quarter, Q1 December, Apple expects gross margin of between 39% and 40%, and it sees revenue of between $75.5 billion and $77.5 billion. Analysts had penciled in 39.8% and $77.14 billion
Last year, Q1 December quarter Apple had gave a blowout quarterly report that was mind blowing.
This year according to today's report Apples own guidance was that they will set a record in this coming Q1 December.
So they will sell more the 74 Million iPhones in the next quarter! Wow.
When has Apple missed their own guidance really badly? not too often.
You are worried that they will be short or something? Haha.
Just to give more info on the topic I'll add this stuff:
The games of this stock being held back are the only thing that will be "doomed" eventually. At some point Apple is going to be buying back all the shares you want to sell. You need to have over 60 Billion dollars to fight Apple's buyback program presently. You sell, and Apple buys back the stock. This does (somewhat artificially I'll admit), prevent AAPL stock from "tanking".
AAPL is the safest haven investment as I see it. Even if the entire stock market crashes, I think AAPL will be reasonably OK, you might have to weather out some severe armageddon stock market crash - but that's the worst case scenario. Aside from doomsday, AAPL is the best stock to buy - I'm really saying that. By all measures.
China DOUBLED year over year iPhone sales. What China slowdown?
The Fed is going to do what? Who cares.
Greece? huh?
So when they are off by 0.6% on some statistic, all the western media no minds are telling the audience that the sky is falling.
It's now getting plainly obvious that you can simply follow the money and if you have patience, you absolutely have to be in AAPL, the stock can't be held back forever. I guess the proof of that will come when Apple buys it's own stock back - billions of dollars at a time - because it is the best investment. Wow. Powerful stuff.
