I imagine it is probably due to people dumping what they percieve as underperformers to get cash to buy the big stocks, which are percieved as cheap now. I can't blame them, if you look at MSFT or CSCO vs CPU. Also I would have to think that the recent concerns about the market and the economy could cause people to be concerned about the retail market in general. As far as AAPL helping, it can't hurt. But I don't think they derive a lot of revenue from this as a corporation. Some stores do recieve a significant amount of revenue from AAPL, especially since they are the exclusive retailers and hence have focused the small owners of AAPL computers into the stores. But I don't have any idea how this affects the average store nation wide.
