[HuskerFan1]

ya TXN says next Q in line with guidance, thats the key right there...if you guide lower they gonna cut your legs off...

RIMM down AH from the close too...AAPL guiding lower gonna hurt the markets even more now...

 

[fletchisrhsm]

tiz I understand supply and demand very well, it is the basis for my oil "bullishness" - I believe in peak oil, you do not. end of story

btw I hope you are correct

Not sure if you can "believe" in peak oil or not. Its kind of like the Earth heating. its heating regardless of its man made or not. I just assumed that the world collectively has X amount of barrels of oil. With that logic, and supply and demand, its only a matter of time before we naturally hit a peak and then eventually a terminal decline that will end without any new discoveries in 2039 (of course there will be some). That date doesnt even include the growing infrastructures of China and India, so without intervention is could be sooner. Maybe i am missing something, in all seriousness, but i just dont think its something you have a choice in believing.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, Apple guided revenue of $6.8 billion and earnings of 94 cents a share. Analysts were expecting revenue of $6.98 billion and EPS of $1.09.

--------------------------------------------------------

last year they earned 87 cents in their q2 so apple growth slowing (only 8% growth in EPS growth expected)

bottom line if the trendy stuff is showing signs of slowing what the hell is gonna sell

that says aapl usually low balls estimates so probably an overreation but....

Man, this market going down doesn't appear to be over any time soon. Panic, panic, and more panic on guidance, at that.

Jobs is an idiot ( yeah, a rich idiot). I wouldn't put it past that flaming lib if he forced the company to guide down.

It's going to be tough to keep all the powder dry tomorrow if Apple stays in the 130's.

 

[tiznow]

i'm telling ya this could get bloody

bulls and bears alike since last week and today after the cut been preaching a bounce

not a good sign

think i'm gonna regret covering what i did....that's what i get for being a hyper bear and trying to get cute and trade bounces

and like i said earlier the big bear movers that led us down ramped big today.

also its not about the company itself JP

its the fact that aapl probably the #1 view of the obsessive over the top american consumer is saying growth is slowing ripples through everything

 

[RoofTop]

Some people somewhere made a boatload of cash today.

 

[RoofTop]

Short covers is what saved the market today.

 

[tiznow]

Short covers is what saved the market today.

yeah starting to think that less shorts underneath the market now to brace the fall

i covered some myself today hno:

i'm done covering i still have alot on the table just was trying to get cute on friday and today playing a bounce

i'm sure many other bears did the same down here as bears know well to fear the fed based on the past 5 years of printage

 

[RoofTop]

When are people going to realize that they do not need a I phone or a I pod?

 

[RoofTop]

 

[tiznow]

nice roof top gets in on action, that's a nice one

 

[tiznow]

2.22% haircut on nazcrappy 100 anyway we'll see how much asia rebounds tonight

they were down 10% in two days on average and didn't have the 75 bp cut in US to work with so they will likely be heavily green i would think but really has no bearing on US markets
