I don't trade individual stocks much, but I just looked at aapl on a weekly chart with volume.
Amazing how a stock that always traded above 100 million shares a week and into the 200s and 300s, now has trouble with 100 mil a week, especially since March.
And that AAPL chart is back where it's been twice in the last couple of years. Heck of a run up for a company trading at over 6x BV. Higher? Maybe, but I wouldn't take that bet. No way.
Apple got up to 204 after hours and pulled back. I bet profit taking tomorrow gets a bit more aggressive but still up from the close today. I wouldn't touch it up here in the stratosphere--there's an App for that, isn't there?
But even in the worst recession in 70 years, they keep selling Macs, iPods and iPhones, and in spades. Pretty impressive and they still only have a 9% market share against PC's. Imagine what they would do if they grab more market share.
It's all about directing the firehose. Big woop, AAPL gets large today while it's Holiday in Cambodia for you;

Can anyone answer this question ...... As the US Dollar gets weaker it makes equities stronger, but why do European equities get stronger if their currency is strengthening ? (USD/EUR)
US and European, and for that matter just about every country's equity markets follow lockstep with the U.S. market.
I know it's all being manipulated, but when the major thesis' make no sense you gotta start wondering.

As to "value", that is something defined differently by all. I cannot find any value in your one post on ZH that only speaks to one specific matter that has nothing to do with the mission of ZH, that being me.
Apple has a huge psychological impact on hedge funds. Every single hedge fund mgr I know is very long AAPL. I went to a dinner where there was a "contest" to talk about how LONG APPL they were, ridiculous. My guess is there were a bunch of them who panicked, thinking that perhaps the US consumer had stopped borrowing against his credit card to buy Apple gizmos (which I love). No chance. US consumer (and the US itself) thankfully continues its debt binge. Seriously folks, until the beer runs out, it's a major party. Since it's a BB kegger no telling how full the thing is but I'll continue to get drunk myself.

Think out of the box guys,some of you are traders and I am not. Trading during hours is done through HFT(as every one here mostly agree). So in days where there is low volume,the big guys keep it artificially high,and AH they offset their accounts against each other.I have 10 box of apples(not the stock),and cheeky has 10boxes of oranges. I sell him my box for $5.00 each,he sells me his $6,and each hour we go up in price 50 cents in the auction back and forth,by the end of day,he is left with 6 boxes of my stuff,and I am left with 5 of his boxes. He gives me back my apples boxes for the $5 and I give him back his oranges for the $6 we started the day with. It hs got nothing to do with the outside buyers folks..........
You people are pathetic. You pound the point that stock market doesn't represent economic status (true) and yet you get so worked up over a drop of a few points when it doesn't matter. It's not surprising that given a large number of you out there plus Bernanke's out policy - further devaluation - it's not surprising that stocks are going up.
someone got a flash of AAPL #'s
Exactly what I was thinking.
or someone was watching Jeter and ovenmitted

ipods and imacs will save the US economy! Let's buy stocks because AAPL's earnings were good.
Truly brilliant!

Dude, someone must have unplugged the Dell.
I just checked the SPY AH trading -- it was down for half an hour and then popped back up to 109.97.
Tyler, stop crying wolf so much.

Looks like a small dump, and one that was picked up again shortly thereafter. Nothing newsworthy from what I can tell.
Hello...Apple is a component of the S&P. Nasdaq 100 was also dumped into the close. All index futures sold off and bounced at 4:30.
Bloomberg shows S&P futures up 4.20 and SPY closing at 110.06. I do not see how the small dip in SPY at 4:00 is relevant.

Short Capital One. The consumer just buys stuff and doesn't pay their bill anymore.
