I realize this is ancient news in Internet years, but I haven’t yet had a chance to touch on Jon Stewart’s complete destruction of Jim Cramer on last week’s The Daily Show. Stewart brilliantly took Cramer to task over the way that he, and his CNBC cohorts, have relayed financial information to viewers over the […]

Can Wall Street get any more ridiculous? Today, JP Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz lowered his earnings estimates for Apple and also lowered his projection of iPhone and Mac shipments, citing turbulent economic conditions. This earnings adjustment sparked a huge sell-off in Apple shares, with the stock dropping over 5% to $83.74 a share. What makes […]

Gene Munster, a bullish analyst on Apple from Piper Jaffray, lowered his 2010 EPS estimate for Apple down to $5.46, from a previous estimate of $7.73. He also lowered his admittedly astronomically high price target of $235 down to $180. While that’s a significant drop, keep in mind that $180 is still more than twice […]

Shares of Apple stock closed down today at $78.20, representing the stocks lowest trading price in just over two years.

Newsweek columnist Dan Lyons is up to his old tricks again with a new article about Apple that is more about tabloid-esque personal attacks against Steve Jobs than actual substantive reporting. I’m not a tech-industry insider, so I can’t shed any light on why Dan Lyons seems to have a personal vendetta against Steve Jobs, […]

Digg founder Kevin Rose announced on his twitter page that he just sold all of his shares in Apple stock due to rumors of Jobs failing health. Wow. This rumor about Steve Jobs health from Gizmodo sure is getting a lot of traction. It’s already been picked up by some more mainstream news outlets, and it […]

CNN reports that an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. not only downgraded Apple’s stock, but is withholding a price target for the stock until he finds out more information about the health of Steve Jobs. This sums up to a tee why Apple made the right move in leaving Macworld, and why Steve Jobs astutley […]

Though seemingly coming out of left field, Steve Jobs’ decision not to speak at the Macworld keynote this January makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. First of all, Macworld expectations got out of control and put too much pressure on Apple to deliver amazing products at arbitrary times. Second, it’s the […]

in an announcement that’s taken every one by surprise, Apple has announced this is the last year that they’ll be participating in the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. And if that wasn’t news in and of itself, the company also announced that showman extraordinaire Steve Jobs would not be delivering the keynote speech this year. Instead, […]

Apple shares tumbled downward today after an analyst at Goldman Sachs downgraded the company, citing weak consumer spending and the feeling that Apple wasn’t likely to introduce a new and sensational product at Macworld. Earnings estimates for Apple were cut to $4.75 a share, down from an initial estimate of $5.13 per share. Apple’s price […]

Apple’s stock today closed just about $80 a share, representing a 52 week low. This is actually the lowest the stock has been since Apple first announced the iPhone in early 2007. Ironically, Apple’s financials are better than they’ve ever been before, but that doesn’t mean its been able to shield itself from broader economic […]
