    ...Really the only thing that can stop this drop is the buyback....

    What are you smoking????  How has the $100,000,000,000 spent on buybacks gotten us thus far?  Oh - that would be the same stock price that AAPL was trading at 3.25 years ago.

    Buybacks to prop up stock price is a huge sign that the markets have no confidence in the stock - and very fleeting in effect.
    Buybacks increase the EPS and reduce dividend expenditures.  They also take stock out of weak hands.  There are a lot of weak hands but the stock would indeed be lower without the buyback.
