"net quarterly profit of $1.58 billion"

Way to beat that Street!
Keep the cool stuff coming.



(AAPL is at 155.64.)

THAT doesn't suck, but the extended hours is WAYYYYY down, what the hell is wrong with people?

The whole market is in free fall right now.

Share price isn't indicative of anything right now.

Buy Buy Buy Buy now!

Told you bozos to sell weeks ago when it was 200.

Hunh, I don't know where that figure is coming from, I'm showing 139-ish.....

Are you kidding? Buy what?

"As of 3:35 PM CST, Apple is down to $135.84."

I dont know what ticker you're watching but according to Marketwatch, it never got below 146 today.

If you got some at 136, good for you.

Wow, just a little better than I expected, $1.70eps, on earnings; however, the shipment numbers are lower than expected. In other words, gross margins were great, best ever.

2.3M Macs is great, but 2.5M would have been a blowout.

22M iPods is pretty flat from last Xmas, and I was expecting 25M iPods.

2.3M iPhones is double the previous quarter, which is great, because it's following the iPod pattern of doubling in the Xmas quarter, but I thought they had sold 2.5M or so, based upon Steve's announcement of 4M, but that includes a couple more weeks after the New Year, but still.

I only took a little, 265 shares off the table at $201, and still have 950 shares. I was trying to offload another 350 before earnings but never found a good sell point. Oh, well, right idea, but lack of execution.

And now it's dropping like a rock. Good news always does that for some strange reason. Oh well, time to buy more shares.

AAPL: After Hours: 146.35 -11.10 (-7.05%) - Jan 22, 4:31PM ET

@macromancer, I'm guessing he's talking after hours trading, as he mentioned CST, not EST.

I'm showing $141+ and stabilizing/rising at 4.47EST.

Note: AAPL closed $155.64 and it is changing hands at $140 at 4:47 pm....a cool 10% drop.

@ Macromancer

I'm watching AAPL stock on CNBC right now. It's at $140.95 in extended hours (3:48pm CST).

This should play out well for Apple.
Good numbers.

Too bad about Heath. Seemed like a good guy.

After hours trading is voodoo trading. It will open tomorrow right where it ended today. It might slide down towards where it is after hours but they dont open trading the following day where it ends after hours.

I'm happy I got out of stocks and into currency trading a year ago.

I can make steady money even in a bad economy.

HEATH LEDGER IS DEAD!

Does anyone know the number of days it took for AAPL to go from $135 to $200?

I would like to compare that to the very few days it took for it to go from $200 to $135.

@ Question Please

Look it up on Google Finance or Yahoo Finance.

The price bottomed in the $135+ range and immediately bounced back up as the quick buyers took advantage of sellers who don't know a good report when they see one.
AAPL always sandbags on the future guidance. As long as they keep creaming analysts predictions, it's an excellent long term investment on the dips

The Mac is going strong. iPods are still ruling the market.

Yes, too bad about Heath. And Suzanne Pleshette who die before she got her star on the Walk of Fame. And oh yes, sorry to the fans and family of Sam the Butcher (Allan Melvin). I hope I didn't leave anyone out.

West African or Haitian? Cool dances.

Joker is dead!

I hope the shooting for "The Dark Knight" was done. The trailer for it looks awesome. Heath makes the Joker look very creepy.

Now there's no doubt The Dark Knight will smash the box office. And Ledger's Joker will probably be praised up to the heavens (no pun intended). Do they give Oscars posthumously?

Mr. Jobs, you could sell much more if you were not so focused on the US, 45% of the earning came from the rest of the world and your presence anywhere other than the UK is close to none. Imagine the possibilities if you had a really global, proper, presence. We want to give you our money! But we like, in fact demand, to be treated properly.

Great revenue. This is only the beginning. Listen to Steve:

"We have an incredibly strong new product pipeline for 2008, starting with MacBook Air, Mac Pro and iTunes Movie Rentals in the first two weeks."

Next year, around this time, Apple will be selling 5 millions Macs per quarter!!!!!!!!!!

Apple is trading very slowly now in after-hours. I just listened to the conference call, and it seems that they underestimated Mac sales, so that inventories are below what they expect, 4 to 6 weeks worth, and so, the 2.3M Macs shipped could have been higher, if they had kept inventories stable.

Also, the cash is up to $18.5B, and accumulated iPhone revenues are now up to $1.1B, since they count revenues over 8 quarters, as opposed to realizing it all at once.

The gross margin of 34.7% is just sick! I remember when it bounced around between 27 and 29% for ages. Now, they're modeling in a margin of 32% going forward. I guess NAND flash ram is going to stay cheap.

apple never hit 135, what crack are u smokin?
its low was 146

Analysts are even more scummy than lawyers. Worthless slimeballs.

The future is in Asia, Steve. India, China, South-East Asia and the rest. You gotta move way faster than you are now.

As for AAPL dropping like flies, no worries - and i'll be buying up more along the way!
