Does disappointing stock performance AAPL indicates the end is near for apple ?

"Disappointing" to some... and expected to others. Regardless of stock price... I don't see Apple or the iPhone going anywhere anytime soon.

Stocks go down,they also go up again,i doubt it will make a scrap of difference.

Tim cook is no steve jobs

The creativity and innovation which was exclusive to apple is non-existant at the moment

Which is purely a statement of opinion... one that has been argued and beat to death since the iPhone 5 was released.

Numbers dont lie
It is a long fall from 705 down to 450 in less than a year

I'm not denying the fact that Apple's stock price has dropped significantly since it's highest point in Sept. '12. I will, however, state AGAIN.... creativity and innovation which was exclusive to apple is non-existant at the moment is "purely a statement of opinion... one that has been argued and beat to death since the iPhone 5 was released. "

Will you do me a favor please.... slide that bar over to the "2y" mark and post a screen shot so we can see how things have went up and down over the past two years.

So what you're saying is... Apple's "lack of creativity & innovation" w/ the iPhone is the sole perpetrator for it's declining stock price?

 

[i5user]

Not the sole but a major reason for its fall. (I am an iPhone user by the way)

 

[Thomasjtsi]

I'm inclined to agree that the public's view of the iPhone 5 has created a bit of panic w/ Apple's stock price. However, that "panic" doesn't show in lack of sales or new activations w/ the iPhone 5. We're seeing record sales and activations of the iPhone 5 over the previous 4S and 4 releases. What affects stock prices?.... I have no clue. I'm not a stock broker. Am I concerned w/ Apple's stock price? Hell no! Do I hope they continue to make iPhones? Absolutely!

Samsung 2 year chart




Let me know if you need any more charts

Samsung has always been a major player. They rarely stutter at anything. There's more controversy behind Apple than there is Samsung IMHO. Plus Samsung is affordable, very affordable. Buying a no-contract Android phone is much cheaper than an iPhone, and there's more freedom to Android devices is probably what most of the market is thinking.
