It seems AAPL gets taken down on bad news from any of them. Dell slowdown AAPL tanks. RIMM slowdown, AAPL tanks. :oh:

PED provides some much needed positive news for AAPL this morning .
Rumors that Apple is working on EVDO and CDMA versions of the iPhone, opening up the iPhone to those that absolutely can’t work with AT&T.

“Morgan Stanley analyst Kathryn Huberty cut her rating on the stock to equal-weight from overweight. Huberty said overall PC sales are slowing, and Apple doesn’t have a presence in the market for PCs that are priced less than $1,000—which is the one area of the sector that is growing.”
There are so many logical errors here that I don’t even know where to start. Huberty demonstrates monumental ignorance of Apple’s market and products. But this isn’t the first time she’s gotten it wrong. She’s missed on Apple revenue projections by as nuch as 20% in the past. A monkey throwing darts could do better.

Thanks PED, hopefully it creates some intelligent thought on the sudden drop in AAPL.
AAAHH!!!

I’m actually frustrated by this. The analyst today lowered his EPS forecasts which tanked the stock, but raised his iPhone numbers.
We all know that AAPL falls at earnings when, regardless of it’s EPS, it doesn’t meet x-amount of iPods/Macs/iPhones. He should have just left his iPhone numbers where they were. We need upside safety for this earnings.

[quote author=“superbaka”]We need upside safety for this earnings.
In this climate I don’t think it matters what Apple has sold. The market has already decided the next couple of years will be bleak for Apple, regardless of what anyone in the conference call. I will not take a position into AAPL’s earnings. Or GOOG’s until it is clear that the bear is dead.
I know RIMM does, but are there any others that also tend to influence AAPL when their earnings are badly received?

That’s the typical plan…inflate the number to ridiculous and unachievable levels and sell the stock when it doesn’t meet “analyst’s estimates.”
