Consider For Apple's Q1 FY13 [View article]     Thanks for the
article, very good and useful information. What bothers me is
how little research most stock investors do when it comes to
owning a stock and how little they pay attention to it. That is
why most people who call themselves stock investors wind up
losing money.      It does not matter what stock you own in your
portfolio. The laws of buying and selling apply to them all. For
example, with COKE, if the company reported today that their
sugar orders to make COKE were down 50%, most people would sit
up and take notice. The stock would sell off.      If Goodyear
reported that their need for rubber to make tires was down by
50%, you can bet their stock would be selling off.      Apple
reports that the orders for components to make it's iphone5 are
down 50%. The stock barely sells off. If this was any other
company without the halo App
