“In a bad quarter — like Q3, when the 16.2 million units Apple sold accounted for 46% of its revenue — the iPhone will drag the company and its stock price down with it.”

The word “Exaggerate” comes to mind.

Ouch! My head hurts trying to grasp the implication of that logic.

It’s such a dumb metric — just because of the quarter falls between the release dates it changes the outcome of the stock? Ridiculous! It should be based on the fundamentals of the company. Selling all the phones they can make despite raising capacity with every new release should be a good thing, signaling incredible demand and the stock should go through the roof. But sadly Wall Street isn’t rational.

Very scary quarter. Tough call. Be very careful. Hope for the best and plan for the worst and you won’t be surprised. It’s earnings, it’s the street, so there’s no need to complain ahead of time. No whining allowed. No bitching about analysts and conspiracies. If you don’t want to play sit on the sidelines and watch. But no whining and no bitching. It happens every three months. It’s not like it’s something new. Put on your big boy pants, grit your teeth and put your money where your mouth is. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Just look at Q3, Q4 2011 and extrapolate.

No matter how many millions they sold Wall Street will unrealistically find a negative angle to drive the stock down again.

Just count the number of cargo flights out of china and extrapolate from that. I’d figure 1 in 2 flights are carrying iPhones.

Crappy android phones likely go via ship since there’s not any rush to own one of those.

Well, iPhone sales before iPhone 5 release were down comparing to previous quarter for obvious reasons, and Apple could only produce no more like seven million of iPhone 5 units.

Thus 25 million units could be the figure to expect.
