“Look out below Apple edition,” Steven Russolillo reports for The Associated Press.
“Apple Inc. shares fell below $400 for the first time since April amid a global selloff that started in China and is now hitting U.S. markets,” Russolillo reports. “Apple shares, which had stabilized over the past two months following the big tumble that kicked off the year, now appear ready to test their lows of the recent cycle.”
Russolillo reports, “Apple recently fell 3.5% to $399.17. The stock fell as low as $385.10 back on April 19 before trading in the low $400s for the past two months. For today, it looks like Apple is getting swept up in the global-market selloff. While analysts have become less bullish on the stock, most don’t expect another slump similar to what took place bridging the end of 2012 and the beginning of this year… The 55 Wall Street analysts that cover Apple have an average price target of $527.50 on the stock, a figure that has come down from above $700 at the end of the year but still remains well above current levels.”

Buying oppertunity.
Perhaps you haven’t kept up to date with China’s economic woes. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonchang/2013/04/14/the-biggest-threat-to-chinas-economy/
If China stumbles over the next 2 months…this market will rapidly deflate. If so, your “buying opportunity” will be anything but an opportunity.
Reminds me of an old Onion headline: World ends. Michael Jackson and six billion others perish.
This is a marketwide sell off and we get a headline about Apple.
Doomed i tells ya! I’m expecting a default on those bonds within 2 months.
I am assuming this is sarcasm but it could really use the /s just so we all know.. After all, it is a monday. LOL
I didnt know there was a symbol for sarcasm. Yes it was.
The entire market sell-off, why only singled out Apple?. Is there some kind of malaise to crush Apple juice?.
Maybe The MOB is behind it. Apple stock has shown it can be manipulated for profit. The MOB is into everything else, why not stocks!?!?!
The Chicago MOB that now occupies Washington, DC.
Who needs the Mob when you’ve got a convicted criminal in charge of Samsung…?
Analysts’re being famous to guess AAPL wrong the whole time so it is time to keep your mouths Zipped. Investors don’t need those bastards.
The 55 Wall Street analysts would be more useful if they were ground up and fed to livestock.
hang on there buckaroo –
we don’t be needing to increase any more mad cow disease with them bovine-analytico encephalopies
With or without a market sell off, AAPL is in full collapse. It will remain so as long as the Apple Inc. board just sits on their billions and lets Tim Cook occupy the chair at the head of the table.The rest of us AAPL holders and the entire world of Apple consumers can keep on being disappointed. Even the lemmings on this board are beginning to realize the stupidity of their belief in the hapless CEO.
Sell your 2 shares and leave. Please!!!
The whole market tanked. Its not Apple, so this is not news. China spooked the market
Apple is a total failure from any perspective. All innovation gone. Steve Jobs’ legacy lost.
It’s deja vu…
At the iPods debut all the pundits said it was way too expensive and would never be more than a “niche” product. A toy for rich apple fans.
A few years after that when the ipod devastated not only all the music player markets but it’s companion itunes grabbed the lion share of the music sales, all the haters were still blathering on, endlessly. This time about how apple didn’t really create the market, and how apple was going down and couldn’t innovate like that, AGAIN…. And about how they couldn’t possibly continue at their current market share and how the cheap knock off’s were eating the “oh so expensive” iPod alive in market share and how the dell ditty and the MS zune would soon be the media player kings.
All the whole apple just kept pushing forward creating one unconventional, unorthodox groundbreaking… and yet somehow irresistible, product after another.
Just like now…
it is what I expected because TIm & other VP sold their stock before its value would be more worse. it caused APPL drop below $400. I think that Tim & others don’t love the company or don’t feel any affection more. it’s very sad that Apple is only shine when Steve was in act. this company will be over soon.
What will take its place?
