- trghpy, on 01/29/2008, -4/+8As long as Steve boy doesn't cut and run, I think the stock will recover fine.
- meshman, on 01/29/2008, -4/+7"In a private communication last week, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs acknowledged the the fact that he way overhyped his products, but remained confident that investors would again be blinded by his non-creative *****."
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4I don't see why Steve Jobs has to reassure investors about anything. Apple just had their most successful quarter in history, so it's obvious the stock decline has nothing to do with him.
- DFENS, on 01/29/2008, -3/+6Hang in there Apple Investors! We've got this new great idea for a sexy but useless gadget everyone doesn't need but will buy anyway!
- dogstar0125, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Buy on rumour...
- timusca, on 01/29/2008, -4/+6AAPL will bounce back... it always does. Not to mention, the entire market fell. Maybe not as drastically, but it still dropped... I have a feeling people were expecting another iPhone-type announcement, and they were setting themselves up for disappointment.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3Haha, no kidding. I am surprised the Christians aren't flipping ***** on Jobsey. He acts like he is Jesus Christ and the fanboys treat him that way too. Hype means the product isn't as good, plus the smug, white ear bud social status ***** is awful. That's probably why they call it "innovation".

Thats what I used to think about early adopters of apple products. - scrappyvintage, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2And investors will stay, because here at apple, we're a cul. . . .I mean shiney object loving community, and that's what we do, goddammit. High cardboard shipping box prices will eventually be tamed and business will again prosper.
- dogstar0125, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3When a CEO constantly over-hypes his company's products he loses credibility. It happened with Steve Ballmer too. Vista didn't come close to living up to the monkey boy dance.
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -2/+3Apple will be fine in the long run; however, their stock will lose value and not gain it back.
- suinmind, on 01/29/2008, -3/+4His strategy : screw more early-adopters?
- whoamarcos, on 01/29/2008, -2/+3If only I had money to buy some shares and sit on it until they bounce back.
- Shambla, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2I guess that explains this e-mail he sent me earlier:

- UltraMegaFilms, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2No offense, "dumb ass", but Steve Jobs is a bit of an exception. First of all, he is smug as all *****. He thinks that he is superior to others, and he unfortunately convinces his clients of the same misconception. If his product is, lets say, an iPod, he doesn't sell the iPod. He sells an opportunity to become a part of his cool little group! You know who else does that? Abercrombie and Fitch. Rolls Royce. Starbucks. So clickety clak, why don't you gently suck my balls. Give Steve's a break, they are all pruney.
- geekchic, on 01/29/2008, -4/+4Apple shares are like Apple products, overpriced for what you get.
- KrayzieKyd, on 01/29/2008, -2/+2Hang in there, Kitty!
- jasqwerty, on 01/29/2008, -1/+1>>but remained confident that investors would again see rewards for their loyalty in the long run.
No, really, Jobs said that?
Has there ever been a CEO that said something negative about a company while he was head of it? - soulkitchen, on 01/29/2008, -4/+3Problem with AAPL is that their flagship products (Ipod, Iphone, and now the Air) are expensive discretionary spending items, which are not going to fare well with a looming recession. They make great products, but no one can deny that these products are expensive. The smart money just shorted this stock for its decline and may continue to ride this thing down a little further. On the flip side, Apple is a marquee stock (like Google) which means that its full of investors who may only own one or two stocks and may not necessarily care about market conditions in the short term.
Personally I think the bottom is $130 for now (about the current price), but after a bounce and within a month we'll see $120. - geekchic, on 01/29/2008, -2/+1Unless I am mistaken, he is the boss of Apple - so its performance is his responsibility.
The share price fell not because of the past quarter - but due to the unexpectedly unexciting outlook for the next quarter. - willgonz, on 01/29/2008, -3/+2Apple stock has made me lots of money. I also enjoy their products very much. Things just work. Unlike my HP Smart Phone that I had before the iPhone.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 01/29/2008, -4/+2AAPL stock is distended. Pop that ***** like a zit is what I say.
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -3/+1I've never in my life seen people complain because a CEO knows how to sell his product and promote his company. What kind of ***** is that? In case you dumb asses don't know, as CEO, that's his job.
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -4/+2Wow, I've never heard someone accuse Apple of being overpriced. How original!
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -4/+2Yes, I know when I buy a toaster, the first thing I think to myself is: "Yes, I like the color and the price, but is the CEO an smug as all *****? That's what's important."
Who the ***** cares? Seriously, you've got issues if you base your buying decisions on the personality of a CEO. Show me a company that stands ups and says: "Hey, everybody, we're second best and loving it," and I'll show you a company that's not going to be here tomorrow. It sounds to me that you have some jealousy issues and you probably don't make much money, but that's not Steve Jobs fault or Starbucks or all those other companies you can't afford. - randyzhang, on 01/29/2008, -10/+3Forrest Gump is not happy, because he has to worry about money.
