...the results came after the close of the market. The movement of aapl today may have been anticipatory of the earnings, but the graph of today doesnt show movement after the actual announcement. Post-close trading would be the only number to show response to the earnings release. Watch the movement tomorrow, nub.

After hours trading...AAPL down some $22.
Was it simply the conservative forecast for the next quarter?

Shelley, last quarters guidance was "conservative".
This next quarters guidance is "pretty goddamn scary" :p

Scott,
You may want to change your wording. When I saw "5% more iPods than last quarter," I thought to myself "wow, that's absolutely terrible for a holiday quarter."
The truth is, it's a 5% growth over the year-ago quarter, which is a good thing.
Thanks,
Jim

iPod sales levelling out. Market at that price range is saturated. Lower price models for comparative feature sets will start eating into market share.

Might be the best quarter ever, but AAPL is tanking. Not an economist by a long shot, but -
Release of high-priced laptop in the face of a recession;
MP3 Player market hitting saturation point;
and a poor (for investors) Macworld
might all contribute to the (at the time of writing) 13% slip.

Why doesn't Apple pull out of wallstreet NASDAQ-whatever and do it's own stock market.
I'm sick of it being pulled down by the market because of politics.

I sure hope that was a joke, Brett.
If not: rational investors base their decision making on a balance of expected return against expected risk. You don't have full information to make those decisions if you ignore politics, even if you intend to buy and hold for decades.

Its not "politics." The fundamentals are, at least in Apple's own estimation, going to be weaker, thus the stock is weaker. Apple is a growth stock, once that growth shows signs of weakness the shows over. I'm still long on the stock...just give it another quarter or two.

Wall Street is basically irrational. Apple is a good solid company and in the longer view should have its share price come back. Apple cannot be expected to come out with a revolutionary product like the iPhone every year. I am not an Apple FanBoy though I own Apple stock. Matter of fact my main machine is a Windows box. Yet their product line is strong and innovative. I was in the Fifth Avenue Apple Store shortly after the announcement of 4Q earnings at about 5:10 PM ET. The store was crowded and the checkout line was long. People were buying computers, iPods and iPhones. The business is sound but is caught in the general January downturn in the market. Give it a few weeks. Maybe some good will come from Cupertino over this decline. The announcement of the MacBook Air was underwhelming. Yeah it is thin but I would probably want a smaller machine to easily put in my backpack which was lightweight. My feelings are shared by many I have heard on Mac oriented podcasts. Also the hard drive both the conventional drive and the solid state drive afford a level of storage well below contemporary standards. A number of other features are missing which the public has come to expect. The conventional drive only runs at 4400 rpm. The Time Capsule which is a combination of a hard drive and a Wi-Fi base station is interesting but what happens if either the base station fails or the hard drive fails. You are left with a partially working piece of equipment. I love innovation but practicality is a strong factor that also drives the marketplace. Maybe the practicality factor will be a larger thought in subsequent product introductions. Despite this I like Apple's future. Just hang in there stockholders.

one point to clarify: a 1.8" 4400rpm drive is comparable in performance to a 2.5" 5400rpm drive.
