The fear in the market is palpable. You can cut through it like a knife.
This stock is an amazing story and it's being beaten thoroughly around the head and shoulders.
The earnings and Macworld were a little less than spectacular, but nowhere near as poor as they would have to be for this killing to be justified.
I would look at the extra dollar of deferred revenue earned and in the bank that was pushed forward. That number keeps climbing every quarter and could soon exceed the actual earnings statement for the reported earnings each quarter. It was not that far off this past quarter even with the massive numbers they reported.
Apple is switching to a model that involves a change in how we look at it's earnings, if you "get" that before everyone else does, you will capture the *next* run up in this stock.
I've been in since 8.60 a share and have purchased the stock as high as 189, I still own every share and am not planning on selling until my original thesis is proven ( When they get 50% of the computer market. ) I'm only sad that they are so close to my original thesis coming to fruition.
Good luck all.
