AAPL Down 15% From Highs - Worst Drop In 30 Months

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Apple is now down 15% from record highs as "no brainer" investors begin to question their faith in its China prospects. This is the biggest drop since January 2013 and overall AAPL is now almost unchanged on the year...AAPL has lost $27bn market cap today.. a TWTR or a LNKD

Biggest drop since Jan 2013...

 

As investors pile out post-earnings...

 

leaving AAPL nearly unch YTD...

 

And as Nanex notes, it appears the market is about to break (again)...

Good! Apple helps 'our' government spy on us constantly. Sell your stock (i know nobody here is dumb enough to gamble in that market anyway) and ditch your iPhones and iPads.

Wonder how much of APPL is owned by central banks, like the Swiss.

Before its 7 for 1 split it was at $100. It's still above that.

Do I think it's going down? With crApple Watch and the other things it's looking at, yes. A friend of mine bought an iWatch (sic) and has put it up on eBay.

Don't you mean that before the 7/1 split, it was close to $700?

Give it a few more months and you'll find the crApple Watch collecting dust at your local dollar store.

I guess that the fact that you need to buy a watch for you iWatch isn't a good business model after all:

 

Finally, a $9,000 watch that attaches to your Apple Watch

You also need a phone to use a watch...so make that 2 watches and a phone just to tell time and play Tic-Tac-Toe.

Apple is out of ideas, there is no way that you can shine an iTurd and magically 'fix' this firm.  iWatch?? Give me a break.

Apple out of ideas HA!  You silly non-fanboy didn't you hear about the iHeadband?  And the iKneebrace?  And the iShoelaces?  iDeas are never lacking (just good ideas).

That's payback for Citadel, the unofficial arm of the Fed, attacking the Chinese stock market.  Many Chinese are blaming US.  They are much less likely to buy NSA-friendly iPhones

AAPL touches $100 and Old Yeller does QE4.

US hedge fund Citadel banned from share trading on Shenzhen account

The order to bar the Citadel account was given by the Shenzhen stock exchange.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission has said "coordinated stock dumping" and "selling-off of heavily weighted stocks" as well as automated, algorithm-driven trading caused market turbulence. Citadel is being probed for "spoofing", a practice that involves placing and then cancelling orders, distorting prices in the process

I think the Chinese - much like the Russians, know what time it is now.   This act by the CSRC is no small move, and it shows as well, just how desperate certain Western entities are (and rightfully so) to keep the Bretton Woods arrangement functioning and $$$funneling properly.

Considering that most of the ramp was bought with FED QE the only way to save AAPL is QE4 and QE5.

ZIRP and money printing forever, heads down looking into the looking glass and thumbing it.

Or Netflix.  AAPL is trading a 13 x earnings, but NFLX is trading at 265 x earnings.  Which one is the better deal?

Or better yet TSLA, they don't have earnings so their P/E cannot even be calculated!

Ok DG, so 'amusing' might be a bit harsh...   How about, 'observationally interesting'.   I mean, in a rapid downward cascade of the Nasdaq, it could happen.  And this is coming from a lifelong Apple user - Macbook Pro 8,2 I'm banging away on right now...

Is anyone really surprised by this?  Apple has, essentially, one product; the iPhone.  Their success or failure all banks on that one product, and to a lesser degree the iPad.  The watch is never going to see a level of sales close to the iPhone or iPad because it doesn't have the level of necessity that a phone or mobile computer have.  It is a complimentary device at best.

Tim Cook has essentially been running Apple on auto pilot with Steve Jobs gone.  Once the phone market reaches saturation point and sales slow down, Apple is going to feel the pain big time.  At least for companies like Microsoft or Samsung, there is a degree of diversity.

Apple is in trouble.  The iWatch has bombed.  They need to jump ahead to something people actually want like the iSexbot.  But considering the current CEO, their humanoid sex toy would probably be a rump ranger.

Meanwhile Apple is buying and building mega square footage
in the most expensive parts of the silicon valley world.
I wonder what they expect to do with it???
Can it be profitably converted to low income housing??

Quite a far cry from Steve and the Woz
working out of the family garage.
