Tomorrow should be an interesting day for AAPL, with strong earnings announced tonight, followed by who-knows-what being announced tomorrow.

Who knows. Maybe all the potential new is already priced in the stock price. WOuldn't be surprised if the stock continued to fall. Heck, it has performed like crazy the last 12 months. There's gotta be a resting period.

While profits were terrific, the street was disappointed by revenue growth - revenue grew 56%. Now the stock is down $4 in after market trading.

My own personal quote which I'm rather proud of:

"Apple could invent cold fusion and their stock would still go down."

you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

To be fair, the market has been kind to AAPL for a long period of time.

Who would have thought 3 years ago that apple could have it's best quarter ever and lose 10% of it's value in after hours trading?

Is it just me, or isn't this normal response by the market after an earnings announcement?

If you miss you're numbers; this is normal... I think it's unusual to have this happen after reporting the most revenue/profits ever, but I guess apple missed investor's expectations.

Record revenue. Record profits. 6.6% market share in PCs (highest in YEARS). It's like the good ol' days!

Q&A: The Tech Slump Doesn't Scare Michael Dell - Interview with Michael Dell

Relevant Quote: Q: What is the future of Apple Computer?
A: Silicon Graphics.

Q: That bad?
A: Maybe it's a little bit different. But if you look at proprietary computer companies, whether it's Digital or Silicon Graphics (SGI ) or Apple (AAPL ), I think the fates are all relatively similar. We know how the movie ends. It's just a question of what happens in the middle. Apple has a very little customer base. If you look at the economics, it has been extremely hard for Apple to get a return on its R&D with a shrinking volume base. It's not to say that Apple's products aren't innovative or cool, but the economic factors here are so overwhelming, it's very hard for them to swim against that tide. [Commentary from TMO.]

Here's how it works:

Some overpaid 'analyst' on Wall Street starts saying that he's calculated Apple are on-line to ship 9 million iPods this quarter. Word spreads (helped by the fact he writes a newspaper column and a web log). Then he goes and 'short sells' some AAPL stock (that is, sell it before he's bought it, with an agreement to buy it in a set time). Then, Apple reports records sales and profits, but even that isn't good enough to beat 'analyst' expectations, so the share price falls. Mr 'analyst' then 'buys' the AAPL stock for much less than he's already sold it for, and makes $$$$$$$
