Friday, October 26, 2012, 12:49 PM ETApple (AAPL -2.6%) is now seeing a decent post-earnings selloff. Aside from the margin issues, the Street is likely concerned about Apple's relatively soft European and Asia-Pac performance. Europe and China's macro problems are one reason, but in light of Samsung's Q3 smartphone sales and recent market share data (I, II), Android competition could be another. U.S. and Japanese sales grew much faster thanks to iPhone share gains - could the Japanese gains finally lead to a deal with NTT DoCoMo? (more) (transcript)

People however don't seem to understand what it means. It means you buy what nobody wants, what everybody (Tack especially) says is crap and you sell what everybody loves what they insist is "going to da moon". Another name might be contrarian investing. Or put another way, "the market is always wrong".
I like Nokia, for example. At $2.57 it means there are only 256 other possibilities for NOK to be cheaper. How about AAPL? There are 60850 other possibilities for AAPL to be cheaper. Interesting.
Stop it with fundamental arguments. Fundamentals left the building a long time ago.

Your preferences don't change the statistics. Every customer that Android lands is one less available for Apple, and that doesn't auger well for Apple's future growth rate.
It's great as a stockholder, not so great as a consumer. I own some AAPL but I use Android and Windows.
AAPL got to where it is with unprecedented products, not rehashed devices with a few new bells and whistles.
On top of all this is the fact that AAPL has every investor using an electron microscope analyzing every little detail allowing for either perfection, Ohhs and Ahhs, and something unepectedly brilliant or disappointment leading to whys, what ifs, and uh oh. How can a company keep this up? And the answer isn't iTV.
So I think it is more accurate to say that we will be at a turning point by the end of 2013 at the earliest, which will be 3 years since ipad was launched. If AAPL doesn't have any new product by then, then maybe time to worry, and to keep in line with the average it should be 4 years. People have short memories and are acting like AAPL under Steve Jobs issued a revolutionary product once a year. it didn't, it was once every 3-4 years minimum, and it has not been 3 years since the last one.
I should be able to buy a share of AAPL on monday.

If this stock breaks the 200 ma longs are in trouble but undoubtedly even if Apple s days are over, wouldnt it be wise for longs to just wait and sell the stock around January?
I guess I'm part of the problem.
Today he is dead, thus apple's future will not be what he invisions.
Let's take another example, if Warren Buffett dies, its over for Berkshire. His expectations will not be met and cash will be pissed away on bad acquisitions that will turn into money losers.
Everybody owns apple. This comment section looks like the Oprah Winfrey show; a moronic fan club. If you like apple, buy their products and enjoy them. Don't buy the stock. If it looks obvious, its a trap.
Chances are this will not last forever. Once Amazon has nowhere to grow, they'll surely increase prices. DHL, Fedex and everyone else will have to pay those prices and that can bring PE of AMZN down, down, down. Of course, it's all speculation. Things might go in a different way. Only the future will tell but Amazon is gaining a very strong position.
