AAPL drops more than 5 percent in wide market selloff
It may not have been the only bad news on a bleak Wall Street Tuesday, but Apple's 5.3% stock price drop (closing at 83.93, almost 14 points off of January's high) was certainly noticeable. Investors may have seized on the AppleTV ship delay as a sign of slipping execution for AAPL.Now get out there tomorrow and buy buy buy! [Disclaimer: I hold positions in Apple and Intel stock, among other equities. :-] Apologies for the use of the Cha-Ching logo, but I honestly couldn't think of a better illustration for a "market correction" than an empty piggy bank.

I personally don't see the Apple TV as a major product. I don't think it will sell badly, but I don't think it will be a smash hit either. Now, if the iPhone or a new iPod were delayed, I could understand the 5% drop.

No thanks. The way things are going, my money is best suited in Gold and Silver. Items with real value, not faith based paper.

Off topic: The Flash "free iPod" add that plays sound when the TUAW.com home page loads is horrible. You will loose a reader if an advert ever makes sound on-load again.

A full piggy bank? The selloff means money is going from stock to cash. I guess it makes sense if you interpret it to mean a loss of value, though.
(sorry if this comes off snarky, not my intention)

Having held AAPL for over 10 years, a 5% drop isn't even worth taking note of.

Not worth taking note ofm but it is worth buying now because of it. Especially if you plan on buying a lot of it.

Basically echoing what others have said. At around $80, AAPL is undervalued relative to reasonably expected future projections. There's some good money to be made here by snatching the stock up now. That said, I'd wait at least another day to see if the slide continues.

@2
Let us not forget that gold/silver does not in fact have any "real" value other than the value that we give to it, just like paper money. It has no intrinsic value as you seem to think.
