Hold on there...the stock is up 100%+ in the last year. The Street is ALWAYS skeptical. ORCL took 5 quarters of good earnings to get back in good graces...but they only had 1 bad quarter. AAPL should be fine once we get past the next quarter. In the meantime, it will garner more adherents. AAPL, once they announce a purchase of some sort, will take off.

What is frustrating is watching the average size rise as buyers poured in...then watching the size fall as investors sold again. Seems like there is a battle between the institutions and the individuals on this one right now.

I'm getting tired of holding a stock that the street obviously doesn't like I think we're overreacting a little. Just as a general comment: price moves often tend to appear irrational in relation to news, and it's easy to be skeptical and invent conspiracy theories; in fact, I think things are mostly rational, even with AAPL, but that the moves happen before rather than at or after news. I don't see today's drop as a response to the earnings announcement. I see it as short-term profit taking. The rise in advance of earnings happened in late December (AAPL was trading at $32 in early December, remember). $32 to $46 in one month is pretty damn good. That's a 45% rise or something. And I expect that once the profit-takers are out, we'll once again move up. rhet0ric
