Apple drops under $600; is the moon ride over for investors?

Predicting that a stock will go down is like me predicting what I will have for lunch (Jelly sandwich and flaming hot cheetos every day).

I wish I had your lunch.

You would die at a very young age at that rate.

Michael: You were flying today, buddy.
Buster: Yes, I was flying. But a little too close to the sun.

You would be correct if I didn't teach/do Kung Fu 9 hours a week and play hockey for at least 3 hours a week, while being on a medicine that requires weight gain.

I'm actually not surprised because of how much $ Apple owes to companies suing it rite now

Just as you predicted. Wow, I wish we were all as brilliant as you. You're a fantastic financial analyst. You should get together with all the other Android fanboys on this site and start an investment firm.

And how do you know I haven't??? Currently, I'm shorting Apple... and laughing all the way to the bank. lol

22. Commentator posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:23 2 1

The mere fact that you said "and how do you know that I haven't", "???", and "lol" tells me that you haven't.

Lmao good one. As if stocks don't rise fall, and rise. That's the nature of business...apple is fine. This holiday season will send their stock soaring, then at some point it'll fall a bit.

Not exactly. Smart investors know that you buy into stock for the long term, not the day to day. This is obviously a reaction to firing of Forstall and Browett who head two extremely important areas in Apple. I'm an iSheep and even I am a little weary of how the change will effect things. Stock prices will go up and down. I have no clue how this will turn out, but I doubt this will be the beginning of the end. All stocks were mixed today and Apple isn't exempt from that.

Steadily declining since 21st of September, it's not just related to the recent execs being let go.

40. darkkjedii posted on 31 Oct 2012, 14:35 1 2

It's risen and fallen since, not a steady decline like the droiders would like. Bash as u will, but apple is fine.

Trending decline, not up and down without pattern. Anyone with any statistics background can see that over a months worth of data shows it's in decline, not just fluctuating. It's clear as day in the graph above.

Granted, anything can change, but even the Mini didn't help it get back to level or climbing status.

Dude hit me up when apple stock falls to 1$ a share, and they close their doors for good. Until then its not even worth arguing about.

You want to see them bankrupt? A lot of my friends have jobs with Apple...just because you have some immature hatred for a company, you want to see thousands of people that love what they do lose their jobs? Real mature bud...

Gotta agree with this. See, told you there are times I agree with you....lol.

Stocks rise n fall on a daily basis. Google hasnt in a long while and havent fell alot. But its the reason why I stopped trying to play the stock market. I did sell at the right time for Zynga tho....whew.

I cant see Apple stock falling so far down that they are in trouble.

Losing over 1/7th of value in one month is kind of a big deal.

Smart investors sit on stock long term if the stock pays dividends just for owning shares. Which Apple has historically declined to do. The stock market needs trades. It's a necessity. People sitting on trades just causes stagnation. Same as any economy.
A share's valuation is a moot point until it's sold/traded. Doesn't matter if you only paid $1 for a share that's now worth $1K... Mathematically, you're still at $-1/share until you do something with it because you can't "spend" a share.

Baby you are down down down down down :p

That's what I predicted couple of months back for "A 4 Apple" when Sammy announced its Note 2 :) I think its a good time for Scott to leave this company :)

Every bubble will burst eventually. Check out tulip maia. The Apple of its day.

It's said that Apple does not disclose iPad mini preorder numbers and that makes investors believe the numbers are not good.

18. bragzter posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:02 0 0

Don't think Apple has ever revealed pre order numbers, or any other company. They all say it has surpassed expectations or set record numbers. But the iPad mini steps into a market that's dominated by low cost devies from Amazon and ASUS/Google which is much better than it.

28. Commentator posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:50 1 0

Well that's the definition of the word "climax" isn't it? The problem is to determine if Apple has hit its climax yet.

30. Commentator posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:54 0 0

It has though. Apple's stock has been steadily declining since late September. Maybe if they didn't copy their competitors by making bigger phones and smaller tablets, but actually started innovating on actual usability like they had been under Stevie J they wouldn't be in this problem.

(That last part was extreme speculation on my part.)

20. ilia1986 posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:13 0 0

Yes, but lest hope that the next company which will "have it's day" won't be as greedy and corrupted as Apple.

29. darkkjedii posted on 31 Oct 2012, 12:52 0 0

His company is apple dude. He just hides it now.

32. downphoenix posted on 31 Oct 2012, 13:25 0 0

that's because stocks aren't based on sales at all, but about image. Apple still has an inflated image, but some disappointment from Iphone 5 and Ipad Mini announcements have hurt.
