OFSO,
Just how little do you know about the stock market ?
Look up "day trading", "leveraged short selling" and "algorithmic trading", and you will see why short-term prices on high-volume stocks such as Apple can occasionally whipsaw.
I can assure you that true investors and institutional investors will not have been part of the contributors to the small
temporary decline. Apple remain a bullish stock....strong fundamentals, strong balance sheet, strong momentum, strong growth, reasonable value....
.... the trend remains strong, as you can see we're still well above the trend line that started in 2013 ...
Recent short-term price movement coverage by moronic journalists doesn't change the underlying story which is as strong as ever.
The long term story will always win over the short-term noise, as you can see from the analyst recommendations, 33 "strong buy", 5 "buy", 10 "hold" and only 2 saying sell.
