It's the lack of guidance that makes investors uneasy. People are looking for a light at the end of the tunnel and didn't get one. 

Tim Cook said there is too much uncertainty to forecast the next 60 days and that makes perfect sense, taking into account the current situation. It would be irresponsible to release guidance given the current situation.

Real investors don't care about the next 60 days, that's short term. Investors care about the long term. Day traders and other short term traders care about the day to day. Everybody else can take a nap.

Apple has also raised its share buy back program by 50 Billion bucks! And they raised the dividend too!

Not too many companies that can afford to do that right now!

How wacky: the price of AAPL went up 2% late in the day before the announcement and dropped 2% after the good news.  Oh well, must be that old "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" thing.

That's happened before with AAPL too. They deliver better than expected results and the price drops slightly.

I don't worry or pay attention to that stuff at all.

Earnings were great, way better than anybody imagined.

What we don't have control over is any short term price action in the market. The overall market was down today, so that might have something to do with it. Either way, it doesn't matter at all. AAPL will soon be in the 300's again I think.

Great earnings! Dividend increased too by 6%.

All of the dirty bears are crying now, lol. Screw them.

And screw the virus too! Nothing can hold back Apple, not even a lousy virus!

May is right around the corner.

It's time to get back to work and start opening everything up again.

The Corona Vacation is soon coming to an end, thankfully.
