Why is Apple's stock falling?

Apples stock was at 700 when the iPhone launched, but with time, the stock went down. I feel as the reason for it's plunge is due to the issues in iOS 6. They just released an iPad Mini, the 4th gen iPad, a Macbook Pro with 13 inch retina display, and a super thin iMac, but the stock keeps falling...

What is causing the stock to drop?

    think about it...Of those new products...which one is a new revolutionary product that you would really want to buy?

    4th gen IPad...it is the 4th upgrade...it is not new

    a Macbook Pro with a 13 inch retina display...another upgrade

    a super thin iMac...another upgrade

    a mini-iPad is really just a wrinkle on the regular iPad

    Apple has stopped being innovative and and revolutionary....these products in albeit less flashy versions have been around for 5 years or so.

    Look at what Samsung is now promoting....Smart TV...something Apple used to talk about a year ago but Samsung has done and is in the stores for sale now!!!!!

    The iTV by the time it comes out through Apple will just be playing catch-up to the Samsung's existing products.

    Apple had better up their innovative game or they are going to flame out like Microsoft. (see how poorly MSFT is doing in the market???) Oh yeah...everyone is super excited about Windows 8 and the likelihood of a new suite of Office 8 products....features of which 90% of the people rarely use...and their new telephone and pad-type book....{yawn} yeah that is exciting....

    It had a huge run-up this year. The dynamic of the stock market right now is being driven by several factors, but one is the possibility the cap gains tax rate will go up at year end - that is making people take profits. The other factor is the stock market in general - it is much higher than earnings would lead you to believe, and I see a big decline in the market coming.

    Buy the rumor. Sell on the news..... besides the whole market was down. 80% of stocks move in the direction of the market. and..... lots of investors have made a lot of money as APPL went up. Many are taking their profits. Read some good books on investing. You need to understand the basics.

    i like turtles is on the appropriate music. there's some motives for it. With Steve Jobs, Apple became into somewhat impressive. It became into leaps and barriers basically before the competition gaining marketplace share and increasing sales at an significant develop fee. Now that Steve has left, the product cycles are much less "stunning" and marketplace share is commencing to unfold to its opposition. as a consequence, the marketplace is pricing the inventory for this reason making it mere mortal returned with a P/E closer to different shares. yet another excuse bargains with the final public. For a on an analogous time as, AAPL saved turning out to be and attracted further and further customers. As people who resisted began buying Apple, it persevered to pass up until ultimately very practically all people who had to purchase, had it. At that component, there are not any further customers to rigidity up the inventory. positioned yet in any different case, as quickly as all people is in contract on marketplace process a inventory (or the marketplace) is in many cases while the inventory (or marketplace) wll opposite. This basically have been given sped up as people who margined Apple, had to cover margin calls on the way down and had to sell shares at regardless of value making the value drop speedier. for this reason, between the two, we are the place we at the instant are. Apple will stay punished until it gets low sufficient for the value investors to deem Apple a value over the long term (say 5 year timeframe). at that component, vast money will returned start to step in and Apple will develop returned. submit to in techniques, AAPL has approximately $one hundred thirty/share in money, so it won't drop too too a great way in the past it has one in each of those low P/E ratio that it make lots of expertise to own it basically on the stable value that is going to likely be. wish that helps!

    Stock owners may likely feel the company is not keeping up its reputation as the best. Most people I know thought apple would continue to stay ten steps ahead of the other companies, even without Steve Jobs; however, with the slightly better iPhone 5 and slightly upgraded macbook with retina people are beginning to question this-- Causing stock owners to sell their shares

    Apple took action to prevent people thinking steve Jobs's death would effect the business, but to some it is beginning to seem like he is more important than we thought.
