You are arguing that the market is rational. What I'm arguing is there is a certain amount of irrational people who will buy if shares are cheaper. In fact several were interviewed on Nightly Business Report tonight. Are you saying there will be more irrational buyers of Apple's stock?

Apple Will Soon Be the Way You Pay Online and Beyond The most impressive number from Apple’s earnings call this week wasn’t how many iPhones it sold or how much money it made. Those numbers are monstrous quarter after quarter. More striking was CEO Tim Cook’s revelation that about 800 million people now have accounts on Apple’s iTunes service. And most of those accounts are tied to credit cards. That number is astonishing — by comparison, Amazon.com has some 237 million active customers — and it could point toward a new Apple future. As countless rumors hint at the imminent arrival of new Apple products — rumors Cook did nothing to confirm or dispel — the company’s credit-card trove means one new tool is almost inevitable: a payments service.
