“Call off the funeral arrangements: Turns out Apple is in fine health after all,” Caitlin McGarry reports for Tom’s Guide.
“After weeks of rumors that the iPhone X is a dismal failure bringing down the entire lineup, Apple is showing receipts to the contrary,” McGarry reports. “Apple CEO Tim Cook said the iPhone X continues to be the best-selling phone it makes, as the $999 device has been since launch.”
“The company raked in $61.1 billion in revenue in the January-March quarter, up 16 percent year-over-year,” McGarry reports. “Apple sold 52.2 million iPhones alone to the tune of $38 billion, bringing iPhone revenue up 14 percent from the same quarter last year.”
Customers chose iPhone X more than any other iPhone each week in the March quarter, just as they did following its launch in the December quarter. — Apple CEO Tim Cook, May 1, 2018

MacDailyNews Take: The fomenting is now so transparent that even the SEC can almost see it!
AAPL is like a buoy. Quick, it’s back on the surface! You there, analyst, and you, too, swim down and tug on the chain! Drag it under… lower, lower… Good! Now, quick, everybody jump on, and we’ll take a ride back up to the top again! — MacDailyNews, January 9, 2012

At the most basic level, it’s extremely simple: Pump, then dump. Foment, then buy. Rinse, lather, repeat as the SEC sleeps. — MacDailyNews, April 26, 2012

In what has become the Nikkei’s annual shocker: Apple is decreasing production in the quarter after Christmas. Cue the horror!
Everything in this Nikkei article is conjecture, estimates, and FUD.
This report (as with many of Nikkei‘s Apple-related reports) smacks of a plant designed to depress the price of AAPL. Plain and simple. And Nikkei seems to be the preferred place to do it.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to lose money in the stock market. History lesson below. — MacDailyNews, December 30, 2016

Profit from the painfully gullible. — MacDailyNews, December 26, 2017

All started by Katy H., if I recall right?
starts with japanese and tiwanese rumor mongers, perhaps paid to falsify, then wall street falsifiers take over to manipulate the market, all because Apple cannot refut without double jeopardy
Stock manipulation plain and simple! I guess crime does pay! Looks like business as usual.
Katy Huberty — and all the gang at Morgan Stanley: PLEASE JUST STOP.
… the SEC see it?
What the heck are you smoking?
“Almost.”
Fuc#^*# moron, idiot. I mean those I mean those anal ysts not the one in D.C.
LOL to those who believed the “analysts” and parroted “supply chain”…. You know who you are. Sold half as many..my ass.
The force is strong with anals… Always will.
They should be fine for stock manipulation. Damn anals…
And when an anals is always manipulating, we jailed them.
And when they do it again, we kill.
Damn anals…
The stock should be 190 now… Damn anals
Like meteorologists, analysts keep theor jobs when wrong.
*their
At least meteorologists aren’t knowingly manipulating the weather by getting people to believe something the expert knows (or suspects) is a lie.
How many times have people got to experience this before they realise that the analysts are hopelessly unreliable and best ignored?
For all those who sold AAPL during this recent spell of blatant stock manipulation – a fool and his money are soon parted.
