AAPL Hits New 52-Week Lows
Apple is under pressure this morning -1.8%. It has broken recent lows and is traversing the gap from 1/24/12 (meaning if you bought at any time after that you are now losing money - and notably relative to the market). These are 13-month lows - great buying opportunity we are assured by Topeka et al. Just think, an iWatch, iTV, iDunno...

On January 13, 1946,[3] Gould changed Dick Tracy forever with the introduction of the 2-Way Wrist Radio, having drawn inspiration from a visit to inventor Al Gross. This seminal communications device, worn as a wristwatch by Tracy and members of the police force, became one of the strip's most immediately recognizable icons, and can be thought of as a precursor to later technological developments, such as cellular phones and later watch phones. The 2-Way Wrist Radio was upgraded to a 2-Way Wrist TV in 1964. This development also led to the introduction of an important supporting character, Diet Smith, an eccentric industrialist who financed the development of this equipment.

Well, it's now OFFICIAL! We've ween the market top, as the squid has spoken:

Einhorn was buying while insiders were selling. haha!

...I gotta go now...
Can't go any lower, the bottom hit, cheap stock, penny stock, low P/E, BTFD etc. /sarc
does 52 weeks sounds longer or shorter than a year ?
Shorter.
Are we counting leap years? And are we using the Gregorian calender or the Julian calender? Because if we are using the Julian calender then yes 52 weeks sounds longer.
wow
Someone needs to put together a collage of all the MSM pumpers talking about AAPL to $1,000.

i thought i'd read some of those for the hell of it, but got bored as they're just another list of people talking their book
Thanks for that.
Redemption for getting flamed by the Apple accolytes when I told them to sell at $600, $650, $700 - because the Copernicus of Cupertino (Steve Jobs) was gone and AAPL had peaked, take you profits now! Oh well...
You left out that Cody Willard numbnut. He was pumping $1,100 very hard right up to the iPhone 5 launch. Not a peep now for months.
I'm imagining Norman Rockwells, but with zombies. Nice image for a Friday.

Serves all those bag-holders such as Einhorn well. What makes it all the funnier is Einhorn wants some kind of "dividend" but what good is a few % dividend if the stock plummets by 30%-40%-50%??
Bernanke gave the order a while ago to throw in the towel on this one.
Now AMZN . . . . well that's a different story. Some outside forces are still trying to keep the dream alive by attempting to keep that fat, bloated piece of shit above its 50DMA.
Bearnanke ?
There will be an irrational AAPL rumor shortly to pump the price to 440 support today. You can set your iWatch to it.
Apple shouldn't use 'iWatch' as a product name. That has been appropriated by the NSA for their Stellar Wind project. Of course, like many laws passed by the Feds, they refuse to let anyone know of this action.
Yeah but they are thinking about working on exciting things and stuff.
iCaramba!
from what I understand aapl can pull fed and create something out of nothing by splitting their shares.
But, but, but, what about the story? Billions in cash. And look at the market share. The Century of China was supposed to be The Century of Apple.

It's as if they announced the launch of an airline.
Dudes, DUUUUDES, I recently got an upgrade to an iPhone 4 for $1 from AT$T. It's not a 4S or a 5, but why should I care? the 4 has more functionality than I will ever need. I know the 5 is better, but not $200 vs. $1 better. What does that tell you? AAPL margins are heading down. And that's not even talking about competition.
Dude, totally. I'm still rocking my iPhone 4; it's radical.
What if we just required everyone who goes to college to puchase a new iDevice every year? It could be a mandatory part of every college loan. Win-win for everybody. To be fair, you could levy a fine against those who chose not to buy one and then send the procedes to the Fed.
What's good for Apple is good for America.
I think an iDevice should be implanted upon birth..that way our youth can start consumption patterns at an early age. The sooner we make debt slaves out of them the less trouble they will be.

It would, of course, be unconstitutional. However, the supremes would just change it to a tax and al is right with the world.
Time for a mergr with Facebook.
I... SEE..... NO.... BUBBLE.....
Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of Apple products, and never will be.
My two cents on this. They destroyed their brand, churning too much models in a short time, and saying they will make cheaper models.
It's like Rolls Royce suddenly saying they would sell "value" versions of their cars.
They could have a stable, nice cash inflow. But no, let's grow, grow, grow.
"Too much models (sic) in a short time"??? By that logic, Samsung should be bankrupt.
I apologize for my poor English, it's not my first language.
Apple is a luxury brand. You are supposed to always own the latest model. People got tapped out trying to keep up.
And because of the shorter development cycle, the latest models are not so different from the old one. No incentives to buy.
And because most of the younglings already own one, they no longer have that "Look, I have one any you don't" thing.
I guess no one could have expected that the stuff would lose its appeal when everyone has it, especially when considering that Apple's success grew out of an user base that wanted to feel different, special, and superior: http://www.motivationals.org/demotivational-posters/demotivational-poste...
Samsung have also peaked. Just watch.
Mercedes continues to thrive despite having the 'value' version, the C-class, and (even worse) making things like garbage trucks. (At least they used to. I remember a certain sports car magazine that likes to test weird stuff for their April issues. One year the headline was about a "12 liter Mercedes GT". GT as in 'garbage truck', it turned out. They even did a road test.)
They need an iPhone or iPad made of gold and silver with the ability to shoot bullets. Their stock would soar.
Good. I'll get a better price on a MacBook Pro.
Keep dreaming, buddy.
The long awaited icasket has just hit the market.
It's ok....I can still hear violins strumming on the deck.
This is looking more and more like a major market top. Glad to see PMs trading against the grain of that already.
Uh, no. Chairsatan just entered the room
Yup. The risk on/risk off trade is a go. The last three years this index has shown it's not "Sell in May and go away" it's really sell in March and come back at the bottom in late August through mid-Sept. Three years in a row, and with stocks marching in lockstep with the Euro, and the Euro putting in a top, it doesn't look like it's going to be any different this year.
and somehow, the dow was down 116 at its low and 15 minutes later its only down 35 on no fucking good news worthy of that.
its like bernanke saw it getting out of hand and decided to buy it up again.
It's funny how -1.6% looks like a lot more when your stock is trading in the low 400's, as opposed to the low 700's.
buy you fucking muppets, buy!
Surest sign of a market top yet. Goldman bitch Abby Joseph fucking Cohen advises investors to go all in right now.

Well this means gold will be cheaper. Seems we have an article a month about taking gold profits to cover AAPL margin calls. Cuz y'know the big AAPL guys are loaded with gold also. Makes perfect sense.
Don't short this ponzi market.

AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you haven't looked at Blackberry you may be missing some of the story. Competitive pressure is going to hammer Apple margins. The new Blackberry Z10 is selling very well this first month after launch. Also, the unbiased checks of sellers in the UK and Canada reveals that 30-40% of the Z10 buyer is someone converting from Apple or Samsung.
Fastest ARM chips are comparable to Intel’s slowest Atom chips,people are no longer paying premium prices for Pentium 4 performance, IFart apps era is gone.
At least a Pentium 4 could keep a cup of coffee nicely warm. And if we limit our discussions to smartphones, the Atom has not found its way into them, at least not in the US. Maybe the CloverTrail+ version will eventually change that.
No you don't get it. It's operations per Watt.
Yeah you could put an 8 core AMD Bulldozer in there, but dragging the power cord behind you will be a bitch. Smartphones absolutely suck donkeys on battery as it is.

The moral of the case: "You cannot sue your way to success"
OT:
This is what relentless drone attacks and ridiculously belligerent financial,and economic sanctions gets you, a project to inject Asia with oil. BTW, a project that will be backed by at least three or four other nuclear powers ... so not really a good look for US hegemony. (I'm sure John Cohen will manage to make it look much worse soon though).

ha! ... no shit Sherlock!? ... I'm pretty sure that was the intension!
It's not just the Arabs and NATO who can play the strategic pipeline and resources card. The diplomatic blow-back is going to just keep on coming.
Are pipelines vulnerable to drone attacks?
Is the USA vulnerable to an EMP attack?

'the other invigorating energy development news...
Xi Jinping visits Moscow to raise the prospects of between China and Russia’s energy deals [2013-3-1]
Xi Jinping has picked Moscow as the first foreign capital he will visit as Chinese president, raising hopes that Russia and China will finally agree the terms of a gas supply deal that has been in the works for more than six years. Gazprom sees the fast-growing Chinese market as critical to its plan to globalise Russian gas trade, but has so far been unwilling to reduce gas prices enough get China to sign up for supplies.
But with rival Russian gas producers suddenly courting China, Gazprom may have to cave in. A string of Russian officials have been in Beijing this month in a flurry of energy diplomacy ahead of Xi Jinping’s Moscow visit. Among them was Alexander Medvedev, deputy head of Gazprom, who met the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation on Wednesday to try to break a deadlock in negotiations of a deal that would see Russia supply up to 68bn cubic meters a year of gas to China through new pipelines across Siberia.
Medvedev is known as a tough negotiator and secured an agreement that Gazprom and CNPC would “intensify negotiations” in the coming months with the goal of signing a gas purchase and sales contract by the end of 2013, Gazprom said in a statement. That sounds hopeful but Gazprom, encouraged by the Kremlin which is eager to see Russian gas trade diversified beyond Europe, has set similar deadlines in the past only to be disappointed.
Arkady Dvorkovich, Russia’s deputy prime minister, sounded a note of caution in Beijing this week, saying that although talks about a pipeline gas contract with China had faltered, Russia was working on a separate LNG deal with the Chinese. Medvedev also moved to broaden the scope of Gazprom’s engagement with CNPC beyond pipeline gas, discussing the possibility of the Chinese company cooperating in the Vladivostok LNG project on the Russian Pacific. Gazprom took a final investment on the Vladivostok project last week and will push ahead with plans to liquefy gas from vast new fields in east Siberia for export to markets in the Asia Pacific.
Meanwhile China is being courted by other Russian gas producers eager to break into the world’s fastest growing gas market. Only last week Igor Sechin, the chief executive of Rosneft, was in Beijing for gas talks that could eventually challenge Gazprom’s monopoly over Russia’s foreign gas trade. Among other energy deals discussed by Sechin was a plan for Chinese companies to participate in gas developments off Sakhalin Island in the Russian far east.
In yet another development Reuters reported on Wednesday that Novatek, Russia’s second biggest gas producer after Gazprom, was considering inviting China to join the Yamal LNG project in Arctic west Siberia. Novatek has teamed up with Total in Yamal LNG but is looking for additional partners to help finance the $20bn scheme. China has been trying to gain a foothold in Russian oil and gas developments without much luck so far. Rosneft and Novatek appear to have grasped that upstream deal could be a carrot to persuade China to sign up for Russian oil and gas supplies.
Gazprom has been in a position to be patient in Chinese gas talks thanks to its monopoly over Russia’s foreign gas trade. But with Rosneft and Novatek pushing the Kremlin to liberalize LNG exports, Gazprom now faces the worrying prospect of a race for access to the prize Chinese gas market. China has secured LNG from Australia, the Middle East and South America as well as pipeline gas supplies from central Asia and can still afford to play a long game when negotiating with Russia. Whatever direction Russia-China gas talks take in Moscow, Xi Jinping will have the upper hand. [bsr-russia.com Mar 1, 2013]
**************************************************
Rosneft, Gazprom Close to Landmark Oil and Gas Deals with China (2013-02-27)
Russian state-owned energy companies Rosneft and Gazprom moved closer to landmark deals with China, urged by President Vladimir Putin to forge deeper ties with Asia's growing energy markets.
Gazprom said it had agreed with China National Petroleum Corporation to sign a deal by year-end to supply it with gas. Rosneft, a senior minister confirmed, is in talks with China for a major loan, which would be secured by an increase in oil supplies.
Putin, who closely oversees Russia's big energy deals, has told the state-energy majors to look East as Europe seeks to reduce energy dependence on its former Cold War enemy.
Gazprom's gas exports to western Europe and Turkey fell 7 percent last year to 139 billion cubic meters as the euro zone's economic crisis sapped demand.
Russia, the world's top crude producer, pumps 300,000 barrels per day of oil by pipeline to China.
But Moscow has been unable to secure a deal to pipe gas to China due mainly to differences on price and on routes.
On Wednesday Gazprom, the world's largest gas company, set a new deadline for completing the talks — the end of this year.
"Gazprom and CNPC agreed to intensify the talks on Russian natural gas supply via the eastern route with the aim of signing a purchase and sale contract by the end of 2013," Gazprom said.
China is trying to secure more sources of gas, including from Turkmenistan, as its demand is expected to quadruple by 2030.
Gazprom previously said supplies from Russia could be split, with 30 bcm per year coming from Gazprom's existing western Siberian fields and a further 38 bcm per year from its far eastern fields.
Its proposed Eastern route would include transport of gas via a pipeline along the Pacific coast and shipment of LNG on tankers at sea. Gazprom plans to launch a gas liquefaction plant near Vladivostok in 2018 with initial LNG output of 10 million to 20 million tons (up to 27 bcm) a year.
Gazprom said it discussed the Vladivostok LNG project with CNPC, without elaborating.
IF YOU GET BROKE, YOU GET LESS OR EVEN NO OIL & GAS !!
The interesting thing in all these big energy flow moves is the Arab states are suddenly losing geopolitical and economic leverage, and surprisingly quickly. The scale of the US-Canadian-Australian energy booms are also quite a surprise, that's still to make its mark in market prices (WTI Brent and TAPIS remain so high even in widespread contraction) but they increasingly will from 2014 and 2015 as large scale production development projects finally start exports and supply exceeds demand elsewhere. This may become a serious problem for Arab economies and other OPEC states.
I suspect this is a significant part in why the Saudis want to incite and pursue war and annexations, while they're still in a position to cement some lingering domination over the sectarian competition in the region. Iran in particular may be suffering severe economic sanctions but they will rise again when sanctions are forced to be lifted (and they will force this to occur). But within this present generation the Saudis economy will sink into the sands and won't rise again. And they know it. So they intend to use their radical, numerous and young cannon-fodder to obtain a better strategic position, in the interim.
It surely will be a great pleasure to witness the complete ousting of the wicked Haus of Saud, flat to earth, in not too distant future.
They have been inflicting enough crimes against humanity to deport all them to helluva sink holes. A full blowback by its very own people may serve the best interests of mankind.
How about iShort Topeka.

Tim Cook just isn't a psychopathic dictator like Jobs. It is an odd thig how millions of peple will follow a dictator blindly, just because. Look at Obama.
Jobs told people buying an Apple product would change their life, like any cult they obeyed their master. YES LORD JOBS, WE WILL BUY.
When the leader is killed or dies, it is amazing how fast the whole thing falls apart. Apple was never about the product, it was about the image. Jobs believed he was above human, but under a god. In buying Apple the consumer could transcend from average human to a higher level of existence. THE APPLE SMUG. With Jobs dead the zombies awoke from the trance and many realized under the pretty wrapper, the product actually sucked.
I loved pulling out my three year old Galaxy S when iSheep claimed how great siri was. They would say "find a chinese restaurant" and show me. I'd hit the voice button on my Galaxy and say "find chinese restaurant" and low and behold the same thing showed up on my screen. Sure my phone didn't talk, but Android had voice search since the beginning. I also paid $1 for the phone.
Apple has lost its core, the company is now hoping gimmicks will be enough to carry them.
+1 Nice wrap up!!!
So that offshore cashpile is kind of like the David Koresh compound in Waco, Texas. Where there's smoke, there's fire!
+666 for THE APPLE SMUG
Ignorant Apple hater, you just don't get it. Probably never even used a single Apple product in your life. We Apple users don't buy Apple because someone told us to, we buy it because we like to use it.
The ignorance, stupidity and hate coming from pathetic Windows/Samsung users like yourself is just shameful. Without Apple there wouldn't even have been a decent smartphone, tablet or mp3 player. They all copied the innovator and market leader, especially cheap plastic producer Samsung.
This correction in Apple is as normal as the correction in gold. Actually there may be a little correlation there. Great buying opportunity.
Even if that's true, all innovators expand until a combination of their competitors catching up and their businesses becoming too big and uncompetitive causes them to shrink or fail. Your quote about copycats reeks of moral outrage, but the market doesn't care at all about morals. This is how it's always done.
Not to disparage the dead, but he wasn't all that likeable.
Apple had it their own way for years, telling their customers my way or the highway. For example iTunes sucks, and I don't like the way I can't move the files I paid for where and when I want. So naturally, that engenders some dislike, and those customers now have a choice.
There were great buying opportunities when reality caught up to all the leaders of the past. Of course, it didn't work out so well for those buyers.
Dude, if you think that qualifies as a success I can't help you. Smart phones are the digital-pox and mass societal madness of our age. Plus many companies were making PDA's with phone, fax and internet connections long before the iPOS iPhone came along.
What alleged smartphones certainly did do though was destroy the much more useful vanilla telephone, and provided a common ubiquitous insideous means for any Govt or even private organisation to use cameras and microphones to spy one us at any time and in any location, with no notice, and no legal constraints, and no fear of just reprisals.
Completely immoral.
And all the retarded and suckered techy fools dupes and retarded useful-idiots like you lapped it up and thought it was just 'effin marvelous.
W A N K E R !!
Apple is like Obummer - polished turds. Apple stuff is expensive commodity junk and Amerika had a chance pre-2008 but the country is now finished.
AAPL puts are going CRAZY!!!!
I disagree. Apple was a leading in industrial design. The metallic finish and other materials definitely stood out when the iPhone 4 was introduced. Not much as changed since and Samsung has definitely caught up in many respects though I'd agree that the iPhone is a more user friendly device than any Android notwithstanding superior capabilities from the Android. The Z10 is a piece of crap. RIM has only the Q10 to save it now and it's not looking good as they really alienated their core market but trying to imitate the iOS environment with the BB10.
Does anyone see a quick Apple bounce coming? Any advice on a good entry point? I'd like to jump in and out for a quick trade. Thanks for your responses.
This pig may be worth a look when (not if) it trades in the mid-$390's. Probably within the next two-three weeks.
so you don't even see a pop back to $440 first?
This pig is a hedge fund plaything. It could pop to $440 in the next 15 minutes. It will trade under $400 fairly soon and that will be a good buying opportunity. They are sitting on so much cash and with no debt, they could take this company private if the stock drops into the mid-$300's - which may in fact be the game plan..
Sure I do - such a bounce could exceed $500 as well.
Don't know about timing but there is a case for $310 as well.
Yes, buy it in late August or early Sept. for a third less.
I don't see anything bouncing right now due to the game of tag being played in currencies. The Euro ramped since November, and now "Tag" your "It".
I know that's a oversimplification, sorry.
One thing I noticed was Bernanke's bounce didn't have any staying power. That is a bad omen. The market should have ramped and kept on ramping, but it didn't.
Where are the buyers? Are you going to bet everything in your hedge fund at this time of the year on a risk-on tech stock? Is Mom and Pop?
Let's just throw Jeff Gundlach a party right now, why wait!
Snazy new techno toys are techno junk in two weeks. Apple and snake oil sellers have a lot in common. They deserve what they get.
Time for Dickshit to start buying AAPL to make sure the wealth-effect is taking hold. Get to work Mr. Chairman!
iTimemachine so I can go back and sell at 650.
$650 would have been a nice short - though $609 was not too shabby
