"No Brainer" AAPL Breaks Below $500; Lowest In 3 Months
For the first time since mid-October, "no brainer" investment AAPL has dropped below the maginot line of $500. We are sure Carl Icahn will be buying another $500 million worth of shares today... AAPL is now down over 13% from its December highs.

Seriously, how many G1-10 iCrap devices does one "need" in this world? Same crap, different "generation" with prettier packaging. They're done.
I trust no investment that requires no brains.
This Gekko prototype should finally retire and then go to a nursing home if he has no brains.
I'm thinking his last couple of tweets this past week must have been classic pump and dump moves
Nice to see crAAPL dumping!
Why would people spend money for a NSA spying device?
Do you ask the same question of people who pay federal taxes?
The old Carl "The Phlegm" iCahn tweeted-in-advance Pump & Dump, baby!
Nice to see you saying something that makes sense for a change.
Icahn just tweeted,
I just bought bought a gazillion shares! Jump you fucking lemmings!
iTank
Do hope Carl will be OK. Also it's important that Jamie's bonus is safe. These are our real concerns.
"Had lunch w/Tim Cook. He's on board with 948 billion USD buyback ASAP. Just bought another 500 mln. ;-) "
@Carl"The Big Phlegm" iCahn
and after 50 upgrades... the iPads and iPhones STILL DON'T HAVE A LIGHTER FOR MY CIGARETTES!!
Where's the fucking beer dispenser on my iphone Steve!
DON'T GET ME STARTED!!
AND WHY CAN'T I USE IT TO SWITCH CHANNELS ON MY TV!!??!
FUCK THAT CRAP!
LOL. you're cracking me up.
What's wrong with yours? Mine does switch TV channels. You should upgrade. But, seriously I wish I had a Droid even though I have no need for either one.
You can.
I cahn?
You'd have to have no brain to blindly follow Icahn's tweets.
He'll really look like a no-brainer when it crashes through $400 this year.
Icahn's Waterloo
@Occidental Mortal
Somebody else said yesterday, and I think it is highly probable, Icahn is unwinding.
Word is Carl's agitating for the return of Gil Amelio
Obscure early 90s reference FTW!
...and it's gone.
iSWEEP IT!
That's what you get with virtual apple instead of phyzz apple
Ah, and it was such a pretty Tulip. speculate up, speculate down, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're gonna do the speculate now.
Go ahead Tweety Bird, double down again. Throw some more good money after bad.
You know your ego won't let you be --Gasp-- Wrong
Pump and motherfucking Dump!
I asked SIRI if I should short or long AAPL and all I heard was crickets...SIRI are you there?!?! SIIIIRRRRRIIII!!!!!!!!
With every iphone improvement the phone gets less practical. AAPL has a long way to go down.
You are forgetting one thing about AAPL...AAPL Zombies! Ok two things...
Monorail?
Monorail!

In a debate over AAPL on cnbc yesterday by two analysts, one of them stated " That buying AAPL was a no Brainer "
The other analyst replied " Yes, if you have no Brain, buy AAPL "
Buying AAPL at this point is like buying "pre-Rumor", to then sell on the Rumor, and buy the news?
again..."all these equities are buys." And I mean EVERY ONE OF THEM.
Go long land...and transfer payments.
Can't say the US will be running trade surpluses yet...but that deficit could drop with surprising alacrity.
Deficits do matter...but with interest rates this low...and going way lower in my view... i just don't see why all the rancor in Washington right now.
"Unilateralism" makes absolutely no sense here.
DC has never had so much money.
Sometimes "all that money only serves to get yourself in trouble."
The private sector has been a "Government in waiting" for some time now though.
In the nov, dec, they drive the market up... up... up...
Why letting it come down ? What is going on ? Are the HFT taking vacation ? Or is it just time to harvest the fund money from 401K contributions ?
It's called year end window dressing in order to get that 2 and 20. Can't have people pulling their money out. It makes for a starving hedge fund manager.
Think about it. The market was up 30% last year. If you sell on or before December 31, you have to pay those taxes by April 15th 2014. If you wait one more trading day to January 2, you don't have to pay taxes on those gains for another 16 months. It really is that simple. Selling begets even more selling...
Almost 5 years since the iPad was introduced. And a one size fits all phone for 7 years? And sitting on $150 billion in cash. Where are the new products?
YEAH BUT IT HAS A MILLION PIXELS!!!!
sure you can't see it with the naked eye...
and you don't need it...
BUT A MILLION PIXELS MAN!!!
There are no new products because there is no more design genius at AAPL. Ives has gotten fatter than a Wellington cow, and the other baby-boomer product development guys are just eying the clock to their retirement.
Soon...the iMyRA Box ..guaranteed return and 100% safe T bills supported by the full faith and credit of the USS of A.
<bump>
Let's give credit to where it is due -- the Android operating system. The Mac flourished because Microsoft was too inept at building a stable, secure, and user friendly operating system for computers. The early 'smart phones' and tablets had even worse user interfaces. IOS is still good, but no longer is better than Android. Thus when you walk into a store today to buy a phone, IOS is no longer an advantage and the choice is now on the phone hardware and price.
Android is indeed the reason.
I think the latest numbers pointed to Android activating over 1.5m handsets *A DAY*
Thats incredible - and unsustainable - but Android is a lot more adaptable to market trends. Its able to be customized, trailored, repackaged and sold to fit almost any kind of demographic from emerging market value phones like the Moto G, to Gold plated HTC One's for you wall street high rollers.
It doesn't rely on an outdated ecosystem whose interrface is clunky, prices inflated and just has the smell of being stagnant. Google updates the OS twice a year with reference devices that show forward thought with features and capabilities that are truly innovative instead of window dressing like iOS. Couple that with the ability of Google to enhance users' experiences with its vast amount of information whose integration seems are quickly disappearing and you can see why a lot of iDevices are now being passed over in favor of the more powerful and capable Android devices. Hell even my father, the most technologically inept being on the planet is able to use his LG G2 effectively - which is something Apple has typically dominated.
Now if you excuse me, my Note 3 just beeped and told me that I have a meeting to attend :P
Apple's share price looks like some kind of wall that stops people from moving east to west.
West of the wall I'll wait for you
West of the wall our dreams can all come true
Though we're apart a little while
My heart will wait until we both can smile
That wall built of our sorrow
We know must have an end
Till then dream of tomorrow
When we meet again
Jody hardly knew when Grandfather started to talk. "I shouldn't stay here, feeling the way I do." He examined his strong old hands. "I feel as though the crossing wasn't worth doing." His eyes moved up the side-hill and stopped on a motionless hawk perched on a dead limb. "I tell those old stories, but they're not what I want to tell. I only know how I want people to feel when I tell them. "It wasn't Indians that were important, nor adventures, nor even getting out here. It was a whole bunch of people made into one big crawling beast. And I was the head. It was Westering and Westering. Every man wanted something for himself, but the big beast that was all of them wanted only Westering. I was the leader, but if I hadn't been there, someone else would have been the head. The thing had to have a head. "Under the little bushes the shadows were black at white noonday. When we saw the mountains at last, we cried-all of us. But it wasn't getting here that mattered, it was movement and Westering. “We carried life out here and set it down the way those ants carry eggs. And I was the leader. The Westering was as big as God, and the slow steps that made the movement piled up and piled up until the continent was crossed." "When we came down to the sea, and it was done." He stopped and wiped his eyes until the rims were red. "That's what I should be telling instead of stories." When Jody spoke, Grandfather started and looked down at him. "Maybe I could lead the people someday," Jody said. The old man smiled. "There's no place to go. There's the ocean to stop you. There's a line of old men along the shore hating the ocean because it stopped them."
"In boats I might, sir." "No place to go, Jody. Every place is taken. But that's not the worst-no, not the worst. Westering has died out of the people. Westering isn't a hunger any more. It's all done. Your father is right. It is finished."

WHATEVER!!! GRADE A 401K INVESTMENT STOCK!!
So, I'm thinking you'd rather have a crate of cherry beer from Belgium, and skip the Apple Stock? Well, actually, I agree with you.
2.45% dividend, $45 share cash/share, $136 book/share, 12 P/E, 10 forward P/E. Not bad. Mature biz but not bad at all.
So if earnings shrink, do you like it here, or at $300?
They need their design team to take a bunch of LSD like Steve Jobs did. When you're a sucrose molecule dissolving in water, you'll know what the next big product will be. iSugar - it's like sugar but it doesn't dissolve in water (because it's actually sand).
That's what happens when a company sit on it's laurels and runs out of ideas.
Apple needs to plate its iJunk with some "exotic alloy" and then double the price.
Perceived value, my friend.
There's a reason we diseducate our populace.
A handset maker is a handset maker. This is just Blackberry all over again. Same hype. Same basic products. Same market.
Kevin Henry: "Must...keep...CrAAPL...above $500...at... all...costs."
How does the saying go?
"If you liked it at $550, you were wrong"
Something like that.
I have a feeling this won't be icahn's year ...
Did the dumbass tweet with an iphone or a Galaxy?
probably a typewriter ...
I think IChan has the beginings of Alzhimers. I guess you could say that is a "No Brainer".
BUT THE NEW iPHONE IS 64BIT NATIVE, 64BIT NATIVE!!!!!!!
Well only one model and 64bit processing doesn't really do much for Twitter and the 99% of apps not designed for it that could easily run on a desktop computer from 1999.
BUT IT'S GOLD!!!!!!
The best phone is an unlocked Xperia Z with Cyanogen mod. You can install privacy software, private corporate email, etc. Then you can laugh at all the people with cracked iPhone screens. One thing that really angers iPhone snobs is taking your Experia phone and tossing it in a fountain, preferable with a video playing. The shock on their faces is priceless while they hug their precious iPhone muttering prayers to the cult of Jobs.
I would be interested to know how much he is paying CNBC to pump his stocks. It seems like that is all they talk about is Carl Ichan and his stocks. How much does air time cost these days?
That's why we issued our warning last week. http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/30507317

I like my Iphone 5s. It works for me. But Android is good too. Why do people piss all over Apple? Google is long rumored to BE NSA, not just complicit. Do you really think your Sony Experia is safe from the NSA? If so, you need the Get A Clue app. It's 99 cents in Google play store. The thing about Apple is that they never really try to pump the stock. They could put out tons of shitty products each year to satisfy the sycophant analysts. Who knows what the proper stock price should be, but it is a good company that is historically profitable. Don't understand the hatred.
Idick! now in 4 colors and two sizes!
Carl, just look yourself in the mirror and suck it up. Apple without Jobs is a sinking ship. Who want a 3inch screen when you can have a 4+ inch one. Who wants to pay a premium on old tech when you can get the latest. You can only con the consumer for so long. The chinese certainly woke up real fast. Cook made a deal with China Mobile, but they aren't selling shite. Android simply is the consumers choice right now. Windows/Mac war repeating itself, but this time its moving even quicker. Cook isn't no Jobs, so say goodbye to that cash and innovation.
