“UBS analysts said Apple’s (AAPL) MacWorld was ‘a bit disappointing.’ The firm says shares could see some further weakness, but is set up positively long-term,” Eli Hoffmann reports for Seeking Alpha.
Apple is currently down $11.28, or 6.31%, to $167.50 on heavy volume of 59.42 million shares.

Short selling…
It was down during the keynote. they give themselves too much credit.
the entire market is down, schmucks
What peopole don’t get yet, but will get soon:
the ipod touch now with email is the smallest, wireless carrier-free email device that I know of with all the features people like.
HEEELLLLLOOOOOO!
To me it felt like SJ was building up for something revolutionary or really over the top…Then it ended leaving me like Oliver Twist (“Please sir, I want some more”).
Very disappointing MacWorld in combination with a bad market day has made for some sad looking stock!
On the brighter side… Wait till 4th quarter results are announced. Its sure to spike into the green!
buying time!!!
I’d love to know what they were expecting.
Setting up a great buy opportunity. When the real analysis of the Apple keynote comes in, the smart money will see the import of today’s news. What is not talked about, but evident, is the strength and power of OS X. Those of us with Apple products are seeing our seeing our hardware take on new capabilities with a software update. And these are pretty majors additions to what we already have, for the most part at no cost. The upgrade coming to TV owners is frankly incredible.
Long term strategy: the Mac – the real Mac, not a way overpriced thin portable
Short sighted obsession: Apple toys
Results: last chance to buy AAPL at below 180… 175… 170… 160…
I don’t get it… how was it disappointing? Were people actually expecting MORE? They released tons of new products. And if it’s about a tablet, get over it. There is little chance Apple will ever release a tablet. There’s NO market for one outside geeks.
I’d call it a bust.
Thin Notebook…big deal, Movie Rentals…ditto, New Apple TV…until it records TV…big deal, Time Capsule…ditto. The biggest announcement was last Tuesday…New MacPros.
Thin is nice. But Movie Rentals is far better.
Better yet would have been the “iJesture” keyboard.

Ultra thin laptop… not needed.
Multi-Touch interface keyboard would change the OS universe.
The two major OSes out there – really are not that different from each other. Apple needs to take charge. Specially if they believe they own rights to MT.

This trend follows the last few big speeches….the reality can never match the hype. Then a few days later everyone realized what great shape the company is in and jumps back on board.
So buy now while it’s cheap, it will rebound within the week…
I will not own anything but macs, but I agree… disappointing as hell.
Disappointing indeed!
The only interesting part of it was the new maps features for the iPhone… but that was already leaked.
MacBook Air? All flash, little substance! Who really is going to miss the 1/4″ to 1/2″ of height in a notebook that’s less than 1″ to begin with?! It’s much slower, lacks a built-in media drive, and costs much more than MacBooks. PURE WASTE!
The true star of MacWorld is GOOGLE! How the heck did that happen?

On another note, what a good time to buy Apple! But we always say that when stock is down.
