What if sales up modestly (+25%), profits up more (+45%), but iPod market share drops modestly (to 65%)? Which way does the stock go?

Up, assuming those are YOY numbers. Growth is the name of the game. Market share numbers are fun but unit sales and top and bottom line growth numbers are more important. Investors are nervous about Apple's ability to continue the growth trajectory and the stock will get punished on any indication of slowing growth.
