- totorototoro, on 01/22/2008, -7/+73Holy ***** the stock got hammered after hours. :(
- Chairboy, on 01/22/2008, -10/+50Goodness, imagine what it would have been if the iPhone hadn't been the huge failure all the Nokia and Windows Mobile keep saying it is.
Oh, wait... - Microdot, on 01/22/2008, -2/+41i wish. it would be nice if their stock price reflected this news. DAMN YOU US ECONOMY!
- chadu, on 01/22/2008, -31/+70Recession? Who Cares... I want shiny things!
- jsg7, on 01/22/2008, -0/+29God I wish I sold last month :(
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -3/+31Correction: They missed the analysts' lofty projections. Apple had the best quarter in their history.
- Angostura, on 01/22/2008, -4/+26The astonishing thing, I think is that Mac shipments showed a 44% year on year growth. Pretty good. Ipod shipments only up 5%.
- kirk06, on 01/22/2008, -2/+23Not for Heath, apparently.
- dib2, on 01/22/2008, -3/+21Yeah so? Life goes on.
- tekmonkey, on 01/22/2008, -2/+19Only because every person and their dog already own iPods.
- atbnet, on 01/22/2008, -3/+19Their revenue was $9.6 billion, not sure how that would double it.
- masbestiaquetu, on 01/22/2008, -6/+19all the investors are ***** idiots. so what, the economy is *****, you dont need to sell off apple because they had the best quarter ever and like every other company in the us, they might see less revenue due to slower spending...
- matthewdestroys, on 01/22/2008, -26/+39Dell is somebody's BITCH.
- theyerb, on 01/22/2008, -8/+20AAPL AFTER HOURS 139.06 -18.39 (-11.68%)
It gets worse :( - nebari, on 01/22/2008, -5/+16Completely unrelated.
As much as I like me some Apple, I would hardly call their pricing and availability a critical factor driving the economy. Nor is the iPod or MBA or other Apple product likely to headline and be the raison d'etre for any war anytime soon. - theyerb, on 01/22/2008, -4/+14I've lost a pretty penny from Apple in the last few weeks. I think the dollar is going to take a huge hit in the next year. Answer: invest in Euros. Cheers.
- ronmexico, on 01/23/2008, -2/+12The old buy high sell low strategy.
- jwdav, on 01/22/2008, -2/+11It was an excellent Q1, but the projections for Q2 were below expectations.
The only possible good news, is that if the Q2 projections are low *and* the economy doesn't melt down in the meantime, this will be an excellent buying opportunity. - mdavis, on 01/22/2008, -6/+15Yet Michael Dell's smug comments when Apple was hurting were A-Ok with you. Suck it.
- ssttuu, on 01/22/2008, -3/+12More like darn American Banking System; I've got a great idea, lets lend ,at ridiculous interest rates, loads and loads of money to near broke Americans, with variable interest rates, so when it turns sour, we magnify the effect 10 fold, with them all defaulting on there payments!.. Great idea, 1920's America comes round again...
- swimmer88, on 01/22/2008, -2/+11Thats great and all but their Q2 guidance was well below analyst's expectations. The stock is down about 15% right now after hours. They are expecting their earnings next quarter to be lower due to higher expenses related to stock-based compensation, slower software sales and lower sequential revenue.
- Archimboldo, on 01/22/2008, -6/+15Error in Leopard calculator.
- uptown, on 01/22/2008, -0/+8psst!.... we're not your broker.
- khail250, on 01/22/2008, -0/+8yea good thing i bought some FEB options :( i thought it was a steal at 153 :(
what a day what a day... - Angostura, on 01/22/2008, -3/+10Errr hang on - Apple didn't perform below analyst expectations. The company is warning that *next* quarter is going to be tough.
- MacParrot, on 01/22/2008, -1/+8New Math?
- metalhead3767, on 01/23/2008, -1/+8Part of the reason why they earned so many dollars is because the american dollar isnt worth *****.
- jmpeagle, on 01/22/2008, -1/+8it's P/E ration priced in too much future growth so when Apple gave a 2nd quarter warning along with its first quarter results, the stock tanked

down $17+ dollars in after hours trading. - cyberdork, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6Well earnings warnings are the worst you can imagine in the stock market. I still remember their warning in late 2000 when their stock went from 52 to 24 over night. Oh yeah and I was in it on full margin... wiped me out.
- atbnet, on 01/22/2008, -1/+7Exxon Mobil has just over $100 billion in revenue a quarter. If the profit margins were the same then it would be around $18 billion, not $100 billion.
- hmunkey, on 01/23/2008, -6/+12Good. Now give us the ***** IPod Touch software update for free.
- CraigJ, on 01/22/2008, -2/+8Who cares? I just lost a few thousand dollars.
Seriously, it's sad he is dead, but the Apple news affects me far more... - schul155, on 01/22/2008, -0/+5yeah well with the housing market it the *****, my portfolio is down 25% since July, I can tell you buying an Ipod or a $3000 airbook is not in my foreseeable future... cheap electronics, sure but not aapl
- suprememilo, on 01/23/2008, -2/+747% increase in revenue is hype?
- schul155, on 01/22/2008, -3/+8same reason housing market was so high so long.... bubble bubble
- d3dm, on 01/23/2008, -1/+6Check his portfolio. Maybe he owned AAPL.
- Angostura, on 01/22/2008, -3/+8So let's get this right... Apple produces a free bit of software explicitly designed as the control interface for selecting what is synced onto the iPod and then you complain that it is difficult to control what is synced without using the software.
Do you try to steer your car by leaning out of the window and directly poking the front wheels with a big stick?
I weep for your niece. All you had to do was untick the songs in iTunes and resync - gone. - inkswamp, on 01/23/2008, -1/+6Armed with their anti-Apple rhetoric books last updated circa 1996.
"Seriously, Macs can't multitask." - mrBitch, on 01/23/2008, -0/+5this is a planned recession - anyone seen " zeitgeist - the movie " ?
- inkswamp, on 01/23/2008, -1/+6I agree, but it's also pathetic that Michael Dell felt the need to kick Apple when they were down.
- Gabberwok, on 01/23/2008, -0/+5Part of it is because Europeans are flocking in droves to the Apple stores in New York City. Foreigners are coming to NYC for "cheap" electronics and condos, since the dollar is so bad these days.
- FutureGuy, on 01/22/2008, -0/+5According to Bloomberg, Apple's stock went from a 52-week high of (12/27/07) $202.96, to $136.70 in today's after hours extended trading. humm
- DCstewieG, on 01/22/2008, -3/+7Maybe you should say the After Hours real-time price then...139. ***** ow.
- Shiftgood, on 01/22/2008, -3/+7uhm... uninstall.
- BossKey, on 01/23/2008, -0/+4It's so interesting that one of the most famous Mac users is Rush Limbaugh.
- eh270, on 01/23/2008, -0/+4I bought at 137 at the end of the summer. Back to square one, I guess. I knew the piper jaffray estimates were too good to be true.
- Locke2053, on 01/23/2008, -0/+4Let this be a lesson to all the diggers who invest in stocks based on hype or simply because they like a product: Three things have to typically go right for your investment to make money over the long term:
1) The company has to be good. This is clearly the case for Apple, Google.
2) The stock price has to be good! You'll never make money off even the best company if you buy the shares at 100 times earnings! No company grows earnings fast enough to justify the insane P/Es that Google and Apple had at their highs.
3) The macroeconomic picture has to be good, or at least priced in to the stock. Right now, the macro picture is rather bla, so you should avoid stocks which require big earnings growth to justify the price.
The kids on digg all seem to know about #1, but they don't know about #2 or #3 at all.
Also, currency speculation (aka "invest in Euros") is a very tricky business. The dollar has been RISING for the past couple months DESPITE rate cuts and recession fears.
You seem like the sort of foolish investor who chases recent trends and thinks he knows a lot more than he really does. With your philosophy, you are almost guaranteed to do worse investing than someone who just buys the index every month and doesn't think about it. - laplacian, on 01/22/2008, -3/+7The stock was clearly priced for a great 1st and 2nd quarter. now based on poor 2nd qtr outlook it take teh beating.
AAPL -23.52 -14.58% - Me1000, on 01/22/2008, -1/+5revenue ≠ profit...
- digggggggggg, on 01/22/2008, -1/+5Good for you! So do many of the other people who have contributed to this 'Record $1.58 Billion Profit'.
