Wait a cotton pickin' minute.

Why should the poor results impact the current price of the stock? The analysts already predicted poor sales this quarter months ago, and it's already worked into the price of AAPL. What BS.

Because the reality of it actually happening is gonna scare more people out of the stock. There is only one reason for a stock price to go down: more people selling than buying the stock.
BS. It has been said here many many times. Almost every quarter someone says this: Stock price is based on FUTURE earnings. Not past. Past earnings is already worked into the stock price by "analysts". How many times do analysts predict bad earnings for the coming Q and then AAPL proves them wrong by not only posting a profit but posting a HUGE profit and AAPL goes down? Too many times to count. And time and time again many people here mention the analysts and how the price is already worked in into AAPL. So now sales/profits are actually down as predicted 3 months ago and the stock still goes down. Hahaha.
Regular people should have diversify portfolios and not be this personally and emotionally invested in a single stock. Seriously, who cares about the stock price?

Services. AAPL's services expanded as did MSFT's even though both companies missed expectations overall.
