I do see what you are saying about the accuracy of these tools. Semantics, however, aren’t going to save Apple from the freefall of an overinflated stock market, especially when so many investors were told there was no limit to how “well” Apple would be performing in 2016.
In the last recession, while all other stocks for the most part, were declining, AAPL was the safe haven, seemingly immune from the market decline, even going up contrary to the market forces. It remains to be seen if it will do the same, once the nattering nabobs of negativity shut their traps after the Apple financial call in a week or so.
