http://www.inquisitr.com/2301280/another-poor-apple-watch-sales-report-produces-controversy/

Let's look at those absurd claims. . . "Another poor Apple Watch sales report produces controversy" is anything BUT what it claims to be. An anal-cyst claims that a report that a ASE, a company assembling a component of the Apple Watch reportedly said they did not meet their "break-even" point of two million units a month" out of the full capacity of three million units per month, is somehow translatable into poor Apple Watch sales. Let's translate that into real terms. . . almost 2,000,000 per month in the first quarter the Apple Watch was available is almost SIX MILLION APPLE WATCHES in 90 days. Apple sold only 3.1 Million iPads in the first 90 days of availability in 2010 and that was the best selling product introduction of all time! Can you spell F. U. D.? I can.

Someone was quite effective in trying to drop the price of AAPL. They then piled on with the other stories. . . more F. U. D. because the stock will be going back up as soon as they buy back in.

http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-loses-top-spot-in-chinese-smartphone-market/

Let's look at the next one . . . Apple loses top spot in Chinese smartphone market. Of course they did. . . it's AUGUST!

Firstly, Chinese phone consumers are neither stupid nor fools. Buying an iPhone 6 or 6plus in July or August would make them both stupid and foolish because they know that Apple is going to release they new iPhone 6s and 6s plus in September. If they buy now, they will pay the same price for last year's model that merely by waiting a short time they can have the NEWEST model! If they want an iPhone 6 or 6plus, in September, those older models will be available at discounts or on the used market for considerably less. As I said, anyone would be stupid or fools to buy now. . . so the market is DOWN.

Secondly, Both Xiaomi (Show me) and Huewei release their new models on August 1st. . . to beat Apple to the punch. Xiaomi in particular because they release phones that are knock-offs of the upcoming Apple iPhone models to attract the buyers who want a look-alike iPhone but can only afford a phone that costs 1/3rd the price of an iPhone.


The Xiaomi Phone from a couple of years ago on the Left — The Apple iPhone 5S on the Right


Xiaomi even produces an Android Skin that mimics the Apple iOS 7 appearance.

Both Xiaomi, Huewei, and Samsung sold a PILE of phones in August but as soon as Apple hit the market last year with the iPhone 6 and 6plus, they all faded. . . and the iPhone and Apple soon topped Samsung to become the #1 phone seller in the world.

This has happened before. . . and someone is doing some manipulation with well known F. U. D. techniques to depress the value of AAPL for their own gain. The question is who?

Look we all know you work for Apple, but nothing I said was FUD or malicious. Just an observation.

While what you say may very well be true, what I posted is just as true. The market is over inflated and will “correct” as the banksters sell holding to new people in the market.

QE propped up the market for 7 years. How it works:

The government prints tons of new money, they loan it to banks at zero interest, the bankster’s buy commodities which drives up stock prices giving the appearance of a robust economy, which it isn’t.

Now after 7 years mom and pop are getting back in to the market, QE has stopped, the bankters are now selling their holding, but not too fast as to not make prices go down too fast.

Then bang, one day the markets loose 800 points and mom and pops savings are wiped out again.

Obama and his banksters have made off with billon’s if not trillions of dollars.

But on rumor, sell on fact. Means no matter what is announced the stock is going down.
