How to get past money illusion now that it’s day-break in America once again…
FORGET about the Apple effect. Not including AAPL in its 30 constituents is just one of the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s many quirks.
So too is its ever-changing Dow divisor, a number seemingly picked at random to smooth out the math in the DJIA. But neither of these oddities [...] Shares of former tech darling Apple (AAPL) tumbled 11% on Thursday in their largest selloff since the 2008 financial crisis as Wall Street worries the iPhone maker’s incredible growth pace may be over. The steep tumble leaves Apple at fresh 11-month lows and knocked the consumer-electronics giant off its perch as the world’s most valuable company by market capitalization, allowing ExxonMobil (XOM) to retake the top spot. The bad day for Apple comes [...] After reporting earnings, Apple’s stock cratered to $457.78, an 11% after hours drop.
When earnings first hit, the stock fell 4.5% on worse than expected results. The stock really started breaking down during the earnings call when CFO Peter Oppenheimer announced that Apple was changing its guidance method. In the past, Apple would set comically low guidance, then annihilate it. Oppenheimer pretty much admitted as much, saying Apple was “conservative” in the past with a “single” data point for its [...] NEW YORK (TheStreet) – Blackstone’s BX Byron Wien has never been one to shy away from predictions. The Vice Chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners has produced his 2013 list, including predictions on gold, oil, and everyone’s favorite stock,Apple AAPL .
Among some of the more notable macro calls Wien makes are concerns over oil prices, as he believes the price of West Texas Intermediate could plunge on new rules out of Washington. Wien is [...] Apple fell under $500 in pre-market trading this morning. It could continue to drop says trader Mark Dow. When a stock loses its momentum, you can throw out the fundamentals, says Dow. Based on a simple technical analysis, he believes it could slide all the way to $425: While I’m here, let me make a quick, behavioral point on AAPL. AAPL has been THE story stock in the market over the past few years. It [...] Apple Is Cut To Neutral By Citi Because It Doesn’t Think iPhone 5 Demand Is Great Apple is getting another price cut from a Wall Street analyst. But this time, there’s a twist. It’s also getting its rating cut. Citi’s trio of Apple analysts, Glen Yeung, Walter Pritchard, and Jim Suva, are cutting Apple’s price target to $575, and rating it neutral, down from buy. Previously, Citi rated Apple as a buy because they believed there would be [...] from Zerohedge: It has been 20 days since the last March 2009-like ‘Generational Low’ buying opportunity arrived for AAPL. As the clip below suggests, we can only imagine the crowd of traders waiting to scoop up all these generational low prints (and today’s volume is epic so far) being sold to them by over 200 hedge funds running for cover… WWJTD? A second bite at the Apple…
from Zerohedge: Today’s market summary from Goldman about sums it up: “Though a convincing explanation might be hard to come by, equities posted a serious rally today. Tech leads as those stocks hardest hit of late also bounce the most. This means AAPL adds over 7% on the day. Here’s a fun fact: from Friday’s low to today’s high AAPL rallied over 12% – or about 58bn in market cap. A rally always [...] Forget the “fiscal cliff.” The real panic on Wall Street is over Apple’s stock. Nearly every mutual and hedge fund has piled into Apple [AAPL 525.62 -11.26 (-2.1%) ]during its spectacular rise over the past few years. Now, these same funds are scrambling for the exits as the stock goes through an equally spectacular decline. Apple plunged to a six-month low Thursday as funds rushed to take profits on the stock before it’s too late. Shares are now off 25 percent [...] From Marketwatch: Samsung Electronics , the world’s largest technology firm by revenue, raised the price of mobile processor supplied to Apple Inc. AAPL -0.25% by 20% recently, Chosun Ilbo reported Monday, citing a person familiar with negotiations between the two tech giants. “Samsung Electronics recently asked Apple for a significant price raise in (the mobile processor known as) application processor,” the person was quoted as saying in the report. “Apple first disapproved it, [...] From Market Watch: Tim Cook: “Regarding iPhone 5, Tim Cook says demand is “extremely robust” and the company is in a “significant state of backlog right now.” But he adds that output has improved, calling this the “largest volume ramp in Apple’s history.” He says he is feeling “very confident in our ability to supply quite a few iPhones.” No specific timeline on bringing supply in line with demand.” … First question asks why [...]  Every Investor And CEO Needs To See This Chart Before The Fiscal Cliff Is Hit Drawing on a similar idea, back in April, John Hussman posted this chart, which compares corporate profitability to the inverse of government and household savings (with a lag). In other words, when government and household savings decline, the red line goes up. A few months later, the blue line (corporate profits) follow nicely. Bottom line: The deficit is a major [...] APPLE SHOCK: Apple’s Stock Is Crashing It seems, just as everyone knew but really did not want to admit, that AAPL is the core (pun intended) of the entire risk-rally. With the re-appearance of the bond-market this morning after their long-weekend, risk-assets everywhere have caught the tech companies’ cold with EURUSD at one-week lows – back under 1.2900, S&P futures tumbling back towards pre-QEternity levels and having wiped out all of last [...] It seems, just as everyone knew but really did not want to admit, that AAPL is the core (pun intended) of the entire risk-rally.

The punchline: “It is very dangerous to have ignorant people believing that they know something.” Rogers is bullish China long-term but [...] Whether Atwater, California will join the prodigious ranks of Stockton, San Bernardino, and Mammoth Lakes to become the 4th Muni bankruptcy is up for vote on October 3rd (before a $2mm bond payment in November). As Bloomberg notes, the 28,000-strong Merced county town is suffering under the same weight of public employee costs, lost revenue, and a stagnant economy leaving it with a $3.3 million budget deficit. While some put their [...] The iPhone 5 is priced at as much as 115,000 rubles ($3,700) in the Russian gray market, topping previous models as Web vendors bet on demand from the country’s wealthy ahead of the redesigned device’s official release. “Small companies in the gray market are trying to skim the cream off,” said Vladislav Zavyalov, a marketing manager at re:Store Retail Group, an official seller of Apple Inc.

Despite the launch tomorrow of Apple’s iPhone 5 (rumored to include the happy-ending-hand-extension), AAPL has notably underperformed in the last few days. Whether this is to do with the 20%-plus weighting in the NASDAQ-100 or whether, as we show below, the market’s wise-men see AAPL’s P/E ratio approaching that of the exuberant market and capping their attention, we do [...] One of the world’s most popular and widely-owned stocks could be in big trouble Is Apple Stock About To Crash?
