Oh my God, the sky is falling!

(Hold on everyone, this too shall pass...)

To buy APPL at below $145... again.

Holy crap! Down almost 15 this morning!

Buy!

NO $HIT!

Buy AAPL and sit LONG TERM! Does anyone get this? When Apple brings AAPL down, then consider a change, but when the world economy brings Apple down, sit or buy. I'm looking forward to refinancing my house in the near future...will save alot over the life of the loan. When some part of our country is down, the other will be up. Play that instead of your emotional daytrading and hoarding.

what is going on with the apple stock has nothing to do with apple - but all about the global economy (and the us economy)...

I view it that APPL is 'on sale' at great prices. Dollar cost averaging is YOUR FRIEND!!!!

I believe that today's report will NOT boost the stock price.

That said, buy APPL when you think it is at or near bottom, and hold on to it, for the day that it goes up to new highs.

Stocks are already fired up. Last year it was in the mid 80's right? It's doubled since then, so be happy you greedy little investor maniacs.

It's always a combination of both the results of the past quarter and the outlook, tempered by overall market conditions.

It is never just outlook. Ever.

I wish Apple would stop the practice of giving specific guidance. It is always inaccurate, and it is not credible to give guidance when you know you are going to be it 'just to play safe'.

Many other companies have discontinued this practice and let the market decide on guidance, like they do anyway with Apple.

Being off guidance by 15-45% every time is just not credible.

More like "all about the US economy (affecting greatly the world economy)."

Watch something other than Fox News.

the Great Juche ideology, is a guarantee for success.

long live Juche.....and the father of Juche!!!!!!!

The market is going down - there is nothing that can be done about it. This is not a good time to buy at all!

As investors, we're entitled to a fair assessment of the company's prospects looking forward. Such assessments tend to be conservative because if the company overstates their prospects some stockholder will jump at the chance to sue.

On the other hand, I'd love to see outside analysts abandon the notion of "price targets", as they're an invitation to abuse and tend to make a stock more volatile. Such targets only really benefit traders.

Unfortunately, the roller coaster of the last few days is the harvest sown by US lenders lending to people beyond their means and then finding a way of laying off the risk by chopping, dicing and re-parcelling the questionable debt around the world.

A light hand on the rudder of the financial industry is one thing, but several administrations over a couple of decades have let the politically-expedient promise of cheap money and property ownership outweigh the long-term structural integrity of the global economy.

And now, despite the fact that someone else made a lot of money selling bad credit, the US taxpayer is going to be given back a miserly portion of its own money back (assuming the legislature and executive can agree) allegedly in order to stimulate demand.

If this mess – including the fact that (in many countries) lending banks are no longer tracking their central bank minimum lending/reserve rate – is not sorted out relatively quickly, we will see a recession and this one could be ugly.

"The market is going down - there is nothing that can be done about it. This is not a good time to buy at all!"


So, buy high and sell low? How's that working out for you?


ibookfast: Yeah. Same here. It says error retrieving chart.

aren't working for me either.

That new pink Nano seems to have held off the worst for AAPL today. Whew!

Buying opp.

Especially with a Pink Nano to play with -- damn, gave my girfriend a blue Shuffle. Still, it matches her eyes (ahhhh) !

Apple needs $1.70eps to maintain the status quo, and $2.00eps if it wants to "fire up the stock again".
