Apple has worst stock day since 08(due to iphone demand)

[Hiphoplives4eva]

shyt like this is why I'm always hesitant to invest in stocks.

They've had something like 13 billion in profit this past quarter, which to me means SCREAMS healthy company, but have lost worth because they have competition or didn't growth enough. Companies plateau, it's what happens, it's a ridiculous notion that this is bad for Apple. It's bad for their investors portfolio in that they won't make as much if they sale their damn stock, but the company itself is fine.

the stock market isn't a measure of how much money you have in the bank, its based on how much GROWTH your company will experience over the next few years. There is a reason that Nokia has gained over 140% in the market over the past 6 months while Apple has lost nearly 40%

Nokia is a good company to look at right now. Too bad people don't know any better

this is so dumb. i've seen stock decline despite great earnings reports. stock fluxuations are based on fear and greed supply/demand. Apple is still worth billions and its a healthy company. You can't expect people to keep buying phones every month.

at "analysts" and you nikkas trying to downplay last quarter with words "the worst, the bad day, steep selloff" and other overreacting shyt.

It was the best quarter in the history of the company, plain and simple.

I guess having that plastic shyt does no good to your brain.

If "analysts" predictions, people who are solely interested in making money on stock market, influence your phone buying decision then you should continue to play games with PS3 controller on your Samdung Galaxy S3.

Yeah it happens.... the stock isn't as magical as it used to be once the wizard died.

Aside from that They're the type of company to fight with their backs against the wall(or they were). Good for everyone.

I know that they're two different things, but a lot of that "growth" is partially based on perception and also deception. There's folks in the know that know which is which, but the public a lot of times just goes by what looks good. If I sat and researched the hell out of companies I'd be cool with going into it, but I'm pretty comfortable in saying that most folks don't know what's going on. They just dump money into a mutual fund based on some ratings and someone saying it's "safe". The prices aren't made on anything, but speculation. I knew folks that invested in stocks because "that's how you make your money work for you" without considering other options.

There's a reason they were able to offer Facebook initially for wayyyy more than what it should've been. Because they knew most folks would just see "Facebook" and think "DAMN that's gonna get me a lot of money" because of brand recognition. Enron got away with all sorts of fraud killing off people's living savings. That's not even mentioning the shyt the investment banks been getting away with the past couple years.

It makes more sense for me to invest in a CD, put your money in a savings account or even bonds. It just seems counterintuitive to tie your money to something so fickle....but maybe that's just me.

That article is such bullshyt. Apple just moved 48 million iPhones in a quarter that was one week shorter that last year's, in which it moved 37 million which is insane considering there are only 4 models. The only reason profits remained flat YoY was due to decreased margins, but saying iPhone sales/demand is slowing is retarded. Retarded as the mofos that believed Apple could sustain at $700/share. I mean shyt, mofos was buying in at $700 in hopes the shyt would climb to $1000 which is absurd. The stock was way over priced. It had to return to realistic levels, which is what it's doing now. Analysts....

When the stock hit $700 the vast majority of the analysts and wall street types claimed the stock was still extremely cheap and was a bargain at that price. The mainly based this on the fact that the stock traded at a P/E ratio of around 12 which is fairly decent. What they failed to realize was that Apple would slowly lose more and more market share over the next few years namely due to the competition (MSFT and Android) finally producing handsets that exceeded the experience of the iphone.

Apple as a company will still be relevant, but due to effect Jobs had on that company, I really don't see them returning to their former glory unless some amazing technological revolution takes place.
