123 billion is about 18% of their supposed net worth.

Good. Apple is about as left as you can get in the corporate world.

(Sorry, Apple shareholders. Nothing personal.)

WHOA!

Their products are in decline as the competition catches up. That will eventually impact earnings and stock price.

[wiggen]

Since it closed 110.38 last 12/31 and is 106.4 this very second i’d have to question the methodology to get to 123 billion this year. Did they write a corresponding article when it when up?

FR’s resident apple marketeer is furiously preparing to counter in 3....2....

I just have to say the author knows nothing. Not finance nor how to write. He takes his calculation from a high in April, says this year which includes the months preceding April and in stating destroyed wealth ignores the fact it ran up from Jan 1 until his arbitrary April date.
Outside of getting nothing right he did a fine job.

Destroyed! DESTROYED I tell you!

[Zhang Fei]

Bit of hyperventilation here. AAPL closed out 2014 at $110.

[Dr. Sivana]

With the company's high of $134.54 last April in mind, Apple has so far destroyed about $123 billion of its market value this year.

Stock prices go up. Stock prices go down. Apple has not detroyed its wealth. Investors' valuation of the value of Apple stock has changed. Good grief.

Ping.

Well, the Apple shares I got through some stock options years ago cost me $.14 per share (before 2 splits), so I figure I’m ahead for a while yet.

[Da Coyote]

Apple’s creativity has stalled.

Don’t worry, however. They have increased their energies in new technology such as LGBT rights and bigger iPhones.

[litehaus]

Taint nuttin compared to what Iman Hussein has blown down his black holes...

[al baby]

Not only that i can’t find any of my pictures when i upgradeed os

[CodeToad]

Mild moves lately. Apple still sells plenty to be a highly profitable company.

FUD article claiming that somehow Apple stock is "finding new lows" at $106 when in actual fact AAPL's post seven for one split lows were down in the $70s range. -- PING!

The 52 week low on AAPL was 92 just about six or seven months ago. . . So this is pure ignorant FUD.

Dumbass fanbois taking it in the shorts!!!!!! hahhhahahha If you are a fully invested numbskull AKA an Apple true believer, your net worth has shrunk 20% since July. 
All because Apple:

1. has run out off ideas under gay under gayboyTimKook
2. no new products
3. FoxComm suicides killing Apple's image in Asia and Europe
4. Chinese knockoffs are eating them alive in Asia
5. sell this turkey....deflation is about to hit high flying stocks same as it has been decimating oil and farm commodities

[Mad Dawgg]

The Smartphone market is reaching saturation and there is really no NEW must have gizmo on the horizon so naturally that huge runup on phones is not there to keep things climbing rapidly. Look for the stock to stabilize at a lower price (probably close to it now) once the dust settles.
