How long until the Bank of Israel, whose holding AAPL happens to be, needs a Fed bailout, due to its speculative, high beta investments? The $125 loss per Apple has certainly has left a mark on Stanley Fisher's (who just happens to be considered for Bernanke's replacement) balance sheet.

Time for a 2 for 1 reverse split? Or maybe 3 for 1 cus ya gotta plan ahead.

Gold vs Smapple? Ummm, which way, which way??
That's still something like a $250 stock. Plenty of room to drop (same can be said of gold).
And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh
"And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh"
Quite a bit of negativity bearing down on gold makes me think it's cheap enough. The ole' relic has long survived and does not rot from its core
Huh, I didn't realize Priceline.com had that big of a market cap.
Reggie was right, about 3 years ago!
General Mills shrunk the Lara bars; they are only two or three small bites, now. Although, I know that Lara is doing just fine. Fuck, just give me an apple (not AAPL) and a bag of nuts for half the price.
They've been passing on costs with product reductions and weigh-outs vs. price increases for the last several years across most of their product portfolio...they are not alone.
There's NO WAY Lara bars are 2 small bites. They're more than a mouthful!

I bought a chocolate bar the other day that was so thin I was amazed. 1.55 oz, it looked like they took the candy bar that I used to get and sliced it in half, thickness-wise. Price wasn't any cheaper, though.
You should really enjoy Orwell's book, 1984.
Do you believe Hershey when they say the air bubbles in their Air Delight bars are really about adding texture to enhance the experience?
Regular Hershey Bar: 1.55oz
Air Delight Bar: 1.44oz
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Nuts aredamn expensive these days. Small bag of cashews fetches nearly $10 in my parts.
What inflation?
Pirate walks into a bar with a captain's wheel down his pants. Bartender asks why and the Pirate says, "They're drivin' me nuts!"
Disintermediation.
Either grow them yourself, or buy in bulk...

They're shrinking a lot of stuff these days. Including companies, apparently. DirectTV has a bigger market cap than Lockheed Martin? I would not have guessed that.
And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh
Still 31.1 grams to the ounce?
Nope - that was last month. This month, an ounce has shrunk to 28.35 grams...
But the new box on my gold says "New improved convenient 28.35 gram per OZT size". It's a good thing, right? Like with corn flakes and choco chip cookies.
And the bar has air bubbles inside in order to 'add texture to enhance the experience'
Exxon Mobile is now back in number one position for highest market cap.
sorry guys. I'm a buyer here. pre-earning is a gamble, but you fuckers are acting like every single person you know does not own an iphone, and no one cares what their next product iteration will be. These guys could buy any business they fucking want. You think they are going to squander 137 bill in cash? what do you think they are, a government?
That's what they said when it was $500, $475, $450, $425, $400.....
BTW and OT - does the DXY look like an algo driven mini flash crash is possible?
late day ramp is back!
50 day moving average MUST... BE... RECOVERED...
Didn't even know late day ramp was ever gone...jus looking at DXY and seems poised on cliffs edge waiting for a little push. Not that I know anything.
Time for a 2 for 1 reverse split?
they're gonna wait until it gets down to 333 for that one.
Too funny. :)
Apple: Sauce'd!
oops, some bad numbers coming.
If life gives you apples, make cider!
Dickens cider?
An excerpt from a conversation between me and my then 6 year old son...
Me: "What do you do when life gives you lemons?"
Son: "You punch life in the face!"
I smell some fund managers who aren't getting as big a bonus this year.
Fuck the fraud street parasites!
Trouble in AAPL paradise. Don't let the stock price or movement fool you. Follow the cash flows.

Apple has reportedly stopped placing component orders for its Mac series products recently and related upstream suppliers so far have not yet received any word about when the US-based vendor will resume its orders, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
The suppliers originally expected to finish digesting their Mac inventories in April, but are now stranded waiting for further instructions from Apple.
The sources revealed that Apple's Mac orders to the supply chain dropped to almost nothing after the Lunar New Year holidays. Apple had high hopes for its Mac product lines and placed aggressive orders at the end of 2012; however, the company is now badly affected by the decision.
Since Apple hardly mis-estimates its shipment forecasts, the sharp order drop may imply that Apple has underestimated the PC industry's weak status and its iPad products are affecting the PC industry more seriously than it expected.
In the past, Apple usually gave its suppliers its shipment forecast for the upcoming quarter (12 weeks), but the company did not provide a shipment forecast for the second quarter and some suppliers are concerned that shipments may not resume until late May.
Benny boy and everyone can say all they want about the stock market reflecting the economy but the supply chain and orders placed are the real measure of health. AAPL is one of the measuring sticks so is Walmart. We know how well they are keeping their shelves stocked right now. I'm thinking the old you can deny reality but can't deny the consequences of reality is finally rearing it's ugly head. Means bubble is ready to burst soon. Cash flows matter, if they ain't paying suppliers means they ain't selling means they are contracting means the stock price has to reflect that at some point (I believe that it already is).
Virtually the whole world is leveraged. Cash flow is everything. +1
I gotta think that the tablets have put a dent into notebook sales. I also gotta beleive that even the AAPL die-hards aren't immune to upgrade fatigue. The iPad 3 works great for the uses I intended for it, why by another? I also gotta wonder whether AAPLs history of introducing an intermediate model every other year doesn't have prospective buyers on hold waiting for the "iPhone 5S" to be announced. If people think Q1 was soft at AAPL I wonder if Q2 won't be even softer still.
a clear victory for behavioral economists - or a loss for efficient market hypothesis staters. momentum indeed is part of a stock run. who would have thunk?
yup, this is very worriesome for aapl shareholders. not only is it down, but its down on heavy volume. i can not remember the last time aapl was up significantly on heavy volume.
also, all of tech is down today, which is weird considering big cap names like ibm, google, and msft report after bell.
goog is down nearly 2 and a half percent before there earnings, you think this is insider selling knowing report is not going to meet?
should be interesting to watch after hours.
if they do disappoint, goog can be under 700 by weeks end.
fuck goog, aapl, fb, amzn, etc
Half of congress is probably at the the D.C. Wallmart buying 'Depend Undergarments'. Serves those insider trading thiefs right.;-)
Reggie Reggie Reggie......... margin compression baby, hurts like a bitch
Does this means it is to late for the dividends that CNBC was clamoring for a few weeks ago?
Yawn.
What a f'ing joke. A market cap of 367.4 BILLION dollars with Property Plant and Equipment (material) assets of 15.4 billion dollars. Dot.bomb era valuations.
One man, one phone, one operating system.... the list goes on. Having a lot of "ones" is a lot of things that can quickly run a company up on the rocks.
The "one man" is gone <brief moment of silence for SJ>, the "one phone" is getting it's ass kicked pretty good by suddenly emboldened competitors and I don't see the "next big thing" coming from them.
They're a gadget maker. They had the best stuff for years. But they stumbled bad and will not regain their former glory. Gadget makers almost never do.
Steve Jobs does not deserve a moment of silence
p/e less than 9 at this point is that dot.bomb?
check out the gold miners pe
right, but central banks aren't trying to destroy demand for iPhones.
please see historical price and p/e charts for BBRY and NOK to see what can happen to hardware makers in the mobile space if they don't stay on top of their game.
seems the public is conveniently forgetting the big run up was on easy money and had hardly anything to do with reality. Aapl shares, and similarly the real estate market, should never have been at such lofty values to begin with. I'll add some cliche's such as, you reap what you sow and let the buyer beware. Remember that one? Let the buyer beware..
Low volume/highly imbalanced and leveraged "market".
I can't help but laugh...
Appl has fallen 42% fom its high. Gold has fallen 20%, less than half of apple's drop. however people are talking about gold's bull market being broken. by that standard I guess AAPL is headed for bankruptcy.
Could sure bail out quite a few Eurozone countries with that kind of coin. A lot more muni's too - I am talking about you Phiily.
If you buy Blodget’s argument on Apple, maybe you can buy the Brooklyn Bridge from him too.
hey Henry: You know why Andoid/Google phones are doing better than Apple (which has its limits, but even I as a PC guy admit - it IS a better product)???
Because the younger generations, the consumers who would be interested in spending what little money they have on tech: THEY ARE IN DEBT, HAVE NO JOBS, AND NO FUCKING MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
Apple's consumers finally realize that they are mainstream and lobotomized.
What about that Steve guy? Isn't AAPL going to have him on the conference call? He used to be good.
I have been saying it for ever......was maybe even the first.......
APPL is going to zero.....it's so 2012......
If only I had the balls to short this fucker and ride it down into the teens....because that is where it is going....
I wonder how low it will go.
Go do some historical research on Microsoft's stock price (MSFT). Take that chart and lay it peak-to-peak with Apple (AAPL).
The next thing you will do is let out a gasp and say "Oh, my God."
Then I'll tell you that's BEST case because MSFT has a fortress of licensing revenues, etc, which Apple doesn't have nearly as much of.
Yeah. Like that.
What?
No one claiming the Apple Watch and the Apple T.V. will save them?
C'mon! They can have Huggy Bear and Mrs. Brady promote them!
Sorry everyone, I wasn't paying attention to the price of Apple's stock recently. Has it reached $1000 already?

That made me check in on James Asstoucher. He predicted DOW 20,000 in 2011 and 2012 (and I suppose 2013 would be included in that).
He predicted in 2012 that GRPN would be an "easy double" when it was $10 (now it's $6). Valued Vringo at $3.80 (now at $2.70).
Asstoucher and Jim Crammer must share a house in the Caribbean together and spend long weekends looking into each other's eyes. I'm shocked CNBS hasn't given both of them free reign over the network.
If the Zionists are running the world how come the Bank of Isreal's balance sheet is now totally FUBAR?
Explain that!
throw another anvil at the screen .. that will do it
How absurd is it that Priceline.Com has a market cap of over $35 billion? I thought they were a dead company from the dot com bubble.
Almost as absurd as the fact that it has a larger market cap than Halliburton. The chard remains of an internet bubble is worth more than the largest global energy services company. The way the left and fringe of society talk of Halliburton, commanded by the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, you'd think it ought to be worth $235 billion, not $35.
Small float. Like AMZN and NLFX. Makes it real easy to manipulate. 20 people each hold 4% and agree to never let go. Let the remaining 20% trade among HFT bots to give the appearance of a free market. Voila!
Where is that douche James Altucher who said Apple was gonna be the first Trillion dollar company and had a price target of $1,000?
+1000 Funny I just made a comment about that above; mental message received my friend.
So funny! Now all you AAPL-tards do like my avatard does!
Don't it feel sooooo good when you stop!!?
While I don't like to see anyone get hurt, particularly all the retired teachers and electrical workers whose Roth IRA's are largely comprised of crAAPL, this is actually healthy and, I'm almost embarrassed to say, cleansing.
The jump up starting JAN '12 was pure hedge-fund manipulation, the final move to the Sept peak the well-documented long APPL/Short S&P trade that got more crowded than a pigsty at feeding time (and only slightly less filthy), then that trade's unwinding powered the S&P skyward from Nov till Feb of this year. Absolutely NOTHING happened that would account for the market value moves with respect to phones, future products or the "cool factor", and yet we had price targets above a solid SAT score.
This is not to say that stocks should move purely on fundamentals, but the fact that college students were able to finance a full year in the ivy league simply thru the absurd weekly explosion of option implied volatilities, even though the only 'greeks' they knew were Heraclitus and their fraternity brothers, made this already joke of a market move into Barnum & Beetle Bailey territory -- but the final joke will be on the frat boys, for by 2014 Gene Munster will still have a job and they won't.
So, now that we've all had our fun, learned our lessons, etc., can be get back to standard market chicanery, for old times sake? Pleeeeease !
maybe they should use allllll their cash horde to buy up the shares. ROFL
buncha dumb shits running the ship(with a look-a-like front man) after Jobs died.

Market Cap is a bit abstract...
This isn't...
that's 35 billion in vaporized Pension Fund Balance Sheet valuation. woops...someone just got poorer than they thought they were. Good thing there's a Guarantee Corp.
AAPL execs must have been hangin out an the genius bar too often.
I won't set foot in that store til they get rid of those arrogant genius bars and start making larger phones. I just say no to a postage stamp screen. My galaxy note2 is superior to any iphone in nearly every way and then some.
How can this be, Goldmansucks still has a buy rating!
On a long enough timeline, everybody is right about something.
My prediction is that public equities will be discredited for generations to come, and will only be thinly traded, zero sum, by computers and muppets.
Most of these companies will be either extinct or LUCKY to have a market cap of even 1 billion.
Hey speaking of Apple, whatever happened to that punk Einhorn crying about paying out dividends? I'm assuming they didn't do it, and he's still losing his ass right?
In 2 years time, would you rather have 3.5 shares of Apple or 1oz. of gold or silver equivalent?
Didn't one ounce of gold only buy two shares of apple a few months ago?
snow white's revenge
Fuck Israel !!!!
an aapl a day keeps the profits away.
I'll buy when the yield hits 8%!
AAPL PR guys: BTFD! BTFD! BTFD!
AAPL once again leads the way (lower).

apple 1600 target. tonnes of fools still exist out there.
A company that has outperformed Apple over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. It has a 5 year dividend growth of 32% and dividend yield of 1.9%. It has a guaranteed growing customer base for the next 20 years. And no debt. Take a look at Novo Nordisk, the worlds leading insulin producer.
talk your book, baby
Nothing wrong with AAPL. Wall street must take all blames.
Isn't the a song with: "What comes up, must go down" in it. The sky is always some kind of limit...
Gundlach was being nice when he said it would fall to $425
First dollars, then Apple stock... time for Mythbusters, the Financial Edition - Myth #666: Jews are financial super genius - extra wise and cautious, too...
