Maybe Apple went off a cliff or maybe they're soaring; either way, massive amounts of money are moving in the stock market based solely on guesses and suppositions. Planted guesses.
And nobody sees anything odd that there's two camps feeding "news" to the market: one to drive the stock down and one to prop it up. To me, that is the real news. Though not much of it.

Well, it's not "guesses and innuendo and justifying." These are hard numbers. Being 5-8 million out of an original order total of 19 million.
At times, analysts do guess. But then they are clear about that, using words like "estimates" or "projections." These are not estimates or projections. (The range itself is an estimate, but not the underlying data that went into the equation.)
Of course, it could be all a plain fabrication. A source or sources could have purposely lied and misled one of the media outlets. But it's not guesses, innuendo and justifying, which is a different matter.
