Looks like the shorts won today, but tomorrow we'll see some real excitement.
How did the shorts win? It's 115.30 at the moment. Anybody who is currently short is in for a world of hurt this week, and they'll probably be trying to dump their shorts as quickly as possible.
Very true but now we're at 74 million in a quarter. Big difference.
To get the same unit and revenue growth they need to really knock it out of the park next year. However the upgrade cycle this year was amplified by the move to a bigger screen. Can Apple sell 100m, mostly high end models, on the S cycle?

That's after hours activity, which always strangely disconnected from the regular day's trading.
Oh I'm sure that is the case. But it is a bit worrying to see iPhone consume more and more of Apple revenue. Hopefully ?Watch will change that. Cook said it will start shipping in April.
Not sure how that would help. Since ?Watch has to be tethered to iPhone it will only make the "problem" worse.
Do you remember when the Apple share price was at $10? I bet when they reached $74, a few wondered how much further it could rise.
Keep in mind that including the after hours price, relative to the starting price for the day, the stock gained something like $3, but the end of day's trading we saw a massive drop.

Yes, of course I was talking about AH price. Today's general market action had to do with the entire market being down.
And those who are currently short are still affected by the AH price, because when AAPL opens up tomorrow, that gives them a general idea that AAPL is going to open up tomorrow with a big gap up.
It's the barrel of oil vs cost of petrol issue. The price of petrol never drops when the cost of oil goes down but will always go up when the barrel of oil price goes up. Apple's stock price is the reverse. When Apple's profits go up their stock price either does not or drops.
In other words the two are not related.
I think they are as I understand it now. Investors expect Apply to announce dividend payout amount and based on the estimated number $3.06, it should be the price drop.
Well I can't see yoy revenue growth in that quarter again unless the watch takes off
The watch will take off and Apple will break the estimated earning again in July, then expectations will be built up for new iPad and iPhone in third quarter...and blah blah ...the cycle continues.
It indicates a positive attitude to the results and will be where the stock starts tomorrow.
That isn't always the case. I watch the day and after hours and they will go in odd directions. Remember, the goal of traders is to make money for themselves, not to reward a company for a job well done. A company's sales are the reward for doing a good job.

Childish. ( Also something you probably said when Apple was not producing big screens and people here opined it should).

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Apple pays more in taxes than any other company in the nation.
Anyone care to do the research on this?
Apple is the largest corporate taxpayer in the US. Anybody claiming that Apple doesn't pay their fair share is clueless, wrong and ignorant.
Yes that was incredibly clever. It basically made me get a 64 GB rather than a 32GB were that available.
Annoying. But clever.
Impressive.
Apple's iPhone maker must be pretty quick with his hands.

I'm beginning to think that they use fairies.

I'm inclined to agree.
Because it's amateur hour.

It's usually dominated by institutional traders.
