I think Apple is ultimately on it's way down they just haven't the same resources as Samsung or Google and ultimately I think the move away from Samsung components will give them a reputation for unreliability but I'd expect the stock to rebound a bit when the Jobs movie comes out.
Well that is unless the movie is honest about just how much of a jerk Steve really was. |

My principle - Anyone dishing out advice on stocks for free is just trying to grab your money. Don’t listen to them (at least you won’t lose any money)

Apple's market cap is roughly the same as that of Google and Samsung combined, and they have a huge cash reserves. They can buy any resources they need. |

Will be interesting to see what the stock does today and over the next few weeks. Also what spin the Apple marketing people put on it. (I couldn't care less what fanbois say ) |

In reality, more computers are sold today than ever before. We simply have more choices when it comes to size, capability, and operating system. You can't really call this the end game for keyboards and mice as people buy these to use with their powerful computers (tablets and smart phones) when they want to use them comfortably at a desk. The problem with the Apple brand, right now, is very similar to what was wrong when Jobs left the first time. The competition has closed the technology and desire gaps while Apple has failed to close the price chasm. Last time this happened, Apple brought in a new OS and a cool mp3 player. Absent a new 'killer' app or device, there will be no return to glory. Unfortunately, all the things Apple is working on are already being done well and inexpensively by others. |

The results might not been spectacular, but it is hardly 'coming crashing down' when they sell more devices than ever before. At most, it is simply ceasing to rise |

Apple stock is down about 10% in pre-trading ($464/share) at the moment.

Pretty much.
But there is still the hidden assumption that Apple *needs* to close the "price chasm". That assumes they have to match the pricing of, say, Archos. Which is a huge unfounded assumption. Sorry, but that is like saying BMW has to price-match Hyundai. Both make fine cars but they don't serve the same markets so they don't have to play by the same rules. The fact is Apple was never going to *keep* their 100% market share in consumption tablets. They were never going to sell 100 million phones in the past quarter, China or not. And the MAC line is an afterthought at Apple HQ and consumers are starting to notice. So there was never a factual basis to expect their stock to be worth even $500 much less a thousand. There is a failure now evident but it isn't an Apple failure; it is the investors and analysts who have bid the stock beyond its proper valuation that have failed. Apple is hardly broken. The only thing going on is that with the Reality Distortion Field gone, the bubble of irrational expectations has burst replaced by a new set of... unlikely... expectations. Apple was never going to own the world and they're not going to vanish in a puff of smoke and brimstone any more than Microsoft, Google, or Amazon have. They aren't broken or doomed or going to implode any time soon. That is just not going to happen. Last edited by fjtorres; 01-24-2013 at 09:05 AM. |
