they manipulate their expectations and stock...... just like they manipulate their user base...... Stevies Mentor
because it's all a giant scam of insider bs payoffs and lying. These firms flip flop all day to eachother and the public just for the sake of doing it. None of them know what they're talking about. They head-faked everyone out a few days ago and dropped it to 320 and have been dogging the stock since it made its new high a while back. Meanwhile theres no reason other than straight manipulation that apple shouldn't be at new highs.
So typical. That the "earning news" caused fools to rush in. Pre market at 8:00 am EDT bidders pushed AAPL to $361. This was almost at the all time high. Sold down to 355 open... then now 350. The beginner traders don't know what hit them. I am sure those in the knows about the earning results caused the stock to run down to 320 only 4 sessions ago so that they can get in on cheap. Probably massive calls or selling puts. And today unload to bag holders.
