If there’s one particular group of people I aim my frustration and disbelief at often it’s analysts and investors. And, there’s yet more evidence that when it comes to expectations from Apple, they got it completely wrong again, and it’s affected Apple’s stock market value. Since January we’ve been reading and dismissing rumors of crazy rumors like…
By now, you have probably heard of Apple’s large excess of cash on hand. The company is perhaps one of the most cash rich in the world, and has decided that it would give $100 billion back to its investors over the next two years. Today, Apple officially opened up sales of $17 billion in bonds in order to finance its payments to its own investors, as…
Apple is virtually unrecognizable from the company it was 10 years ago. It was on the steady way up following a shaky patch at the beginning of the century. It had the iPod, new iMacs and iTunes. It was to be 4 years before the iPhone arrived. Since then, every financial quarter has been better than the same three-month period year-on-year. It’s an…
Following the opening bell on Wall St this morning, Apple’s stock has reached its lowest price since 2011, briefly dipping to a low of $400 per share. The price marks a spiral of decline ever since Apple’s record highs of over $700 per share at the beginning of 2012. Apple’s stock price has now come full circle since Tim Cook grabbed the top job,…

Recently, analysts have been wondering exactly what Apple plans to do with it’s excess pile of cash laying around (they’re up to $137 billion). Yesterday there was a report that Apple may announce a plan for it’s money soon, and sources speaking to Quartz are saying that Apple will be paying back some of its cash to its investors. As noted…
You’ve heard it over and over. Apple has a ridiculous amount of cash on hand. At one point, there was even a list of companies Apple could buy with just its cash, and that included powerful companies such as IBM. Well, we may know soon what exactly Apple plans to do with all of that extra money just laying around. According to Howard Ward of Gamco…
Interested in hiding stock applications on your iPhone? Well, for a limited time (as it is guaranteed Apple will pull this app), you can do just that. “HiddenApps” lets you select applications you wish to hide, then it will fail. What? Yes, it will fail. After giving you a “idoodler.de would like to install ‘Poof’” popup, the download will fail, by design…
Finally, someone in mainstream media who sees things as they are. Comedian, Bill Maher has a dig at the trend in mainstream business analysis to see Apple as doomed. Despite having its best ever quarter, and making more money in the last three months of 2012 than most companies made over the entire year, the stock market valuation has plummeted. There’s…
