Here's what happened in Q3: Apple Delivers a Big Earnings Miss; Outlook Disappoints I hate to say you're a complete idiot MM, but you keep talking with authority when you're completely confused about the facts. Apples fiscal year ended with September, so it's fiscal 3Q was the US calendar 2Q. History. And yes sales disappointed, only up huge YOY, but the next generation of the iPhone was right around the corner. The stock, on that disappointment went on to set an all time high over $700. After setting record profits forever some of the multinationals are reducing earnings slightly because Europe, our largest trading partner is in recession. I'm shocked! It's the end of the world! Despite the healthiest corporate balance sheets in my lifetime. My take, and unlike you, I admit I could be wrong, is that there is wage pressure creeping in. Lots of folks retiring that are experienced and hard to replace (me). Keep that opinion in mind, and in a year tell me if I'm wrong. But really MM, take the world as it is, not the way your political prejudice wants it to be. Absorb don't filter data. It's how you stay away from MMindlessness.

When you are actively looking for data and using it to mislead, you come out looking stupid (I will desist from using the word moron because that is too scientific a term for some). As RW pointed out, Apple's calendar is somewhat offset from the normal calendar (After all Steve Jobs believed in being different). With this post of yours, I am now convinced that not only are you very secretive (possibly clandestine too), but also that you are extremely partisan. I thought that as per your claim you researched before you posted here. But this post is a clear indication that you don't.
