Apple (AAPL -5.8%) has hit levels last seen in Dec. '11 following Cirrus Logic's warning and a Digitimes report about declining iPad Mini shipments. Cross Research calls Cirrus' warning "a reminder of weakening demand, and the challenges around product transitions" for Apple. Tero Kuittinen, noting sub-30M June quarter iPhone sales estimates and worries about the margin impact of emerging markets promotions, thinks "several nightmare scenarios have been priced in." "The naked fear of former Apple bulls is exactly what we need just before the earnings come out." [View news story]
Apple Is Not Worth Less Than Microsoft [View article]
What I gather is:
The stock price has gone way down because of rumor that mini sales have been 20% less than someone has forecast.
The reason given is that everyone is waiting for the latest mini.
Now that the loss has been anticipated, we have two possibilities:
1. The rumor is not true.
2. The rumor is true, but that those sales will be made up with the new mini.
So, there is no really bad news, just stuff interpreted to push the stock down. The purpose is either to satisfy short sales, or to make it possible to buy cheap.
Both those results will mean pent up future buying.
Foxconn indicates it started a hiring blitz of assembly workers in China in the latest indication that Apple (AAPL) is gearing up for production of a new iPhone.

Apple Should Rehire Ron Johnson For Its Own Good [View article]
You are correct. If Apple hires Johnson back, it will rehabilitate Johnson's reputation and also show other Apple executives that the "Blue Bird of happiness" is right at home.
It also shows the generosity of spirit at Apple. And, of course, Johnson was good for Apple, and much more to do; thousands of stores to open all over the globe.
As to Samsung departments in Best Buy stores: it's a double negative. The association will hurt both of them. Seems like capitulation for both.
Google (GOOG) partners with top Silicon Valley VC firms Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins to launch the Glass Collective, a program providing seed funding to startups developing hardware/software meant to work with Google Glass. "The thesis of Glass is profoundly transformational — to integrate connectivity and information directly into your field of vision and into your normal daily life," writes VC/Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, who compares Glass' potential impact to the web browser. The effort comes a month after Google showed off its first Glass apps. [View news story]
This glass-in-two devices is confusing.
The main beauty of Apple is the uncanny simplicity of their combination into a lovely device.
If you have to wear glasses and carry a phone, and if you don't misplace one or the other, you'll return to an iPhone.
The prospect of Apple continuing to produce older models of iPhones (presently iPone 4, 4s, 5, then 5s, and so on}. at far lower cost than originally...And then those older models pushing out the cheap stuff made by copy-cats...That prospect shows that it is possible that tthe future contains 90% iPhones.
Look for Tiffany coming out with gold and diamond encrusted Apple iPhones for "prestige".
You are right, there is much negative rumor circulated. Also stock manipulation and official cover-up. Why? Who's behind it? What happened in the "unnamed securities/broker short sales by David Miller of Rochdale Securities re Apple stock. LOOK IT UP...News blackout !

Apple opens an account for each stockholder in Cayman Islands, like Romney and Ernst & Young International, Apple's accountants.

Growth is growth. If you owned a company this size and it kept growing, you would one day own all the money in the market.
We haven't thought about this since F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Diamond as Big as the Ritz.
In a few years the money that Apple's money earns will equal its present annual earnings.
