AAPL building stores but we are baffled by the EPS BS Next years sales due to decline ? PULLEEEEZ Buried by the warning was the subtle positive "expectation" of a major new marketing concept. Gotta ask yourself - why build new concept stores if you are going out of business ? Are we going out of business? Well err......Nahhhhhhhh ! Jim K.

What I am suggesting is that CNBC ought to be discerning and pass on legitimate news only. That is their responsibility. I think these brokerage houses issue these phoney "upgrades/downgrades" solely to mislead the public, while offering different advice to their traders and big clients. CNBC passing this "news" along at face value- which is what they do 99% of the time- makes them complicit in all this.

About CNBC vs Analysts To their credit, Joe and David were blasting analysts that downgraded AAPL today. They should really be upgrading. Granted there has been damage to the fundamentals but not to justify such as steep drop. Downgrading today implies that there would be further weakness. Not so, IMHO.

Maybe most analysts are stupid but I see from the EPS page that 5 analysts lowered their rating of this stock, whilst none of them upgraded its rating. Perhaps should have given some indication to sharp investors that something was smelly in the AAPL kingdom. When a stock falls to 50% of its worth on the previous day, then surely it is not a sign that it is worth a lot more than it is selling for now; but a sign that it was worth a lot less than it sold for the day previous. just a thought, 'jaggs
