Seems the geek time host may be jumping out a window soon after seeing the price of his beloved Apple stock falling like a dagger! It's only down $50 so far today! Look out below,

Jump Ralph, Jump Ralph!

I've read some headlines but what's the deal? Is Apple being mismanaged in the wake of Steve Jobs death? Parenthetically, I still can't believe that Ashton Kutcher is playing Steve Jobs in a movie that they are screening at Sundance.

They failed to meet expectations for the last 3 quarters now.

To everyone fighting about the numbers: this here is the word you are looking for.

When it comes to stock prices, goals = investor expectations.

[Dead Air Dave]

Revenue missed their goals big time.

Its down 10%

This ceo is not a good fit

They need to bring down the build costs of the iPhone or they're fucked

I love my iPhone. Aren't the phones built in China? How much cheaper could than China?

The truth is the exact opposite. Apple posted record earnings for the quarter. http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/23/39...-2013-earnings

No. What dave said was 100% correct. Don't be a sucker for the headline.

Putting aside any personal feeling for Apple in general the facts are that they did not miss their goals. Apple predicted 11 billion in profit and they ended up with 13.1 billion. How can anyone say that they missed their goals by 10%?? It's simple math.

Because you are confused between earnings and revenue. Very basic stuff.

So why the drop in the stock price? Random act of meanness?

While they might be record earnings, they were lower than expected, hence the drop in the stock price.

They need to dig up Steve Jobs rotted corpse.

Tracfones are built in china too.

Its that they use the best(most expensive) parts.

If they could trim costs on the build they would generate more profit on the sale.

[Dead Air Dave]

Dp, sorry

[Dead Air Dave]

Volume is out of control.

On an average day 19mil shares of apple are traded

The markets have only been open 2hrs and there have been 28mil shares traded already

Hard to tell if people are jumping ship or looking for a deal.

[Dead Air Dave]

And I meant the stock is down 10%

[the Artie Chair]

AAPL will bottom out at about $425 and come back strong in 3rd quarter this year as Christmas orders come in to play and new techno is introduced. In the meantime Ralph's net worth which topped out at about $725 in 2012 is down to about $460 as of noon today.
