[ValueWalk] Apple Inc. (AAPL) Plunges Due To Cook’s New Management Team - Page 5

? How many companies wish they were apple right now? THe stock is leveling out to what the market dictates it should be. I would say around the 500-525$ mark. You can't keep artificailly inflated stock prices up at that level. At some point people are going to sell off to take their profit and then rebuy in. Speaking of which, this is going to be very common during the Fiscal cliff time in the US. That is for another discussion, probably not so much OCN as even though it is economic, it will turn political.

In essence the market is working as it should and the stock price is coming into line with the truer value that it should be representing. Apple releases garner much attention and ultimately lead to the temporarily inflated prices. Personally I am glad they are changing up the management a bit, they could use a shakeup and get some fresh faces in there. Also, what did you think was going to happen when Forstall decided not to take responsibility for the missteps in iOS 6.0. Tim Cook, as any good CEO would and should do, took all the blame and Forstall sat in the back hiding his face. Refusing to take any of the blame as it was ultimately his responsibility. I mean how many of you would keep your job if you screwed up and let your boss take the entirety of the fall for you?

Either way, 700$ a share was unsustainable for them. WIll it go back up there, maybe on the next iphone release. For now though the market has corrected the overpricing of their stock and brought it in line.

Apple isn't happy unless it's shares are a $1000 per pop......

Hope you never become a market analyst.

Microsoft pumps out garbage OSes and software and they're doing just fine. As long as a company is a platform for a certain market, your skewed foresight is moot.

There's a lot to calculate when you talk of companies. You cannot compare Apple to Microsoft. One company now relies on a multitude of products (but mostly their OS) while the other relies on mostly phones (and a little on other products).
Is Apple going to fail and die? No, they have a lot of cash, they have a big name. They can, however, be taken down a few notches. Their attitude recently has been bruising their brand image and it's starting to leak into the general public (Read: less tech savvy .etc). People are starting to talk about Apple and their lawsuits. This hurts their brand image because their name doesn't sell phones any more, it represents lawsuits and a slightly evil corporation.

Apple has a lot of time to turn this around, they have a lot of time to take the energy they place into lawsuits and to direct it to their products. The lawsuits have generated quite a bit of bad press for Apple, mostly because it's anticompetitive. Samsung is seeing record sales, Apples attitude has given Samsung more publicity than not. Apple are hurting themselves with these lawsuits.

Currently, apple's loss is at -19.74%. Shares are now $5796.80 per pop. It's a good time to buy a share, the prices are lower, and I feel that as people take advantage of the reduction of stock prices, apple will begin to pick up again.

Pretty sure they are happy with their close to $100,000,000,000 in cash they are sitting on.
