Horace is, I think, having the same problem as every investor out there. This is just a really difficult quarter to call for multiple reasons.

IMHO that's why we are down 20% or so. Lots of people sold and are waiting to see what happens at the quarterlies.

So there will be a mad rush one way or another on the 23 at the earnings announcement. Likely the pros will have their fingers on the buttons after hours.

Apple plans to conduct a conference call to discuss financial results of its first fiscal quarter on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET.

Interesting. A particularly opaque quarter. Lows and highs are wildly divergent.


What's short for Horace?

If he's right: "Ace" "Good job Ace!"

If he's wrong "Ass" "You made an Ass out of YOU and ME!!!"

Horace's estimates are higher then mine :), I am slightly below the median estimate at $14.49 per share.

We'll see how that does.

Estimates for Apple’s first fiscal 2013 quarter
Horace Dediu - JAN 7, ’131:26 PM

So I’m very uncomfortable with my forecast and find it hard to defend this quarter.
I can see why he's uncomfortable with that forecast. It seems far too high to me.

I'm expecting a solid quarter, but there were a lot of headwinds, in terms of just getting products to the customers.
