CNNMoney - http://money.cnn.com/search/index.html?sortBy=date& primaryType=mixed& search=Search& query=Appl& symb=

Apple. That bright and shiny tech darling continues to taste a little sour.

 

FORTUNE -- The new dividend and share re-purchase plans Apple (AAPL) announced Tuesday may make the stock more attractive to investors. But the analysts who follow the company couldn't ignore its lower margin and revenue guidance. Their recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) didn't change, but more than half the analysts we polled lowered their 12-month price targets.

A few stats:

• Largest cut:   From $725 to $545 (J.P. Morgan's Mark Moscowitz)
• Average (all targets): Reduced to $586 from $600
• Median (all targets): Reduced to $543 from $550
• High target: $888 (Topeka's Brian White, unchanged)
• Low target: $360 (Berenberg's Adnaan Ahmad, unchanged)

The shine's off the Apple.

" It's trying to hold $420. I think people think it's soon going to come out with news on a buyback," said Redler. " It needs to get above the $435/$437 pivot point to break the downtrend and start looking better."

Apple stock traded as low as $425.14, a more than $6 decline on the day, before rallying mid-afternoon to as high as $439.10. Apple closed at $437.87, a gain of 1.4%.

 

 

I hold a few AAPL short put options position (i.e. I am mildly bullish on AAPL), so they are incurring losses at the moment.  However, since they are long dated, and still have positive time value, I am not too worried. I can gradually switch them to less risky positions. For example, last night I switched an option from a put strike of 480 to 420, so if AAPL stays above 420 by year end, I am OK. In any case, AAPL seems to be stabilizing, and at this point, the chances of upside looks higher than downside likelihood.

Forget the " fiscal cliff." The real panic on Wall St is over Apple's stk. Nearly  every mutual and hedge fund has piled into Apple spectacular rising over the past few yrs. Now, these same funds are scrambling for the exits as the stock goes through an equally spectacular decline.

Don't catch the Falling Knife on AAPL although current price looks attractive compare to the Intrinsic Value.

Technically the chart is very bearish.

Apple stock plunges 12%

(AAPL, Fortune 500) plunged more than 12%, as investors grew skeptical about the iPhone maker's growth prospects. Despite reporting a record quarterly profit, Apple's forecasts showed signs of slowing consumer demand for its products, particularly its iPhones

Apple's stock has been on a steady decline for months. In fact, shares have plunged more than 36% from their all-time intraday high of $705, reached Sept. 21, 2012.

 

maybe coz aapl was overvalued to begin with? some of these fundamental analysts need accounting or fin modelling lessons. it has to hold a lot of cash coz it pays its suppliers ahead, in full cash. its fcf must be a lot lower than what the fin statements say. now u know not to believe everything the reporters, analysts or whatever bullshitter says

 

Thursday - Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) said it earned $13.1 billion in the quarter, 2nd highest profit ever earned by a U.S. corporation. But shares of Apple were down more than 7% in premarket trading.

 

Slighly lower than Google's price perhap.
