A couple of things here are ironical.If the share is expected to drop only by the %age of revenue miss, you won't need a stock market. The price would've been fixed and you can buy it like any other goods.Apple only tightened the user control of activity tracking and this resulted in all the social media stocks tanking. This shows how much the violation of user privacy means for these stocks. Each big corporate talks big on the need of privacy but does exactly the opposite.

Crunch time is the best time to extract your pound of flesh.

There is a lot more marketing than tech. The analysts keep applauding things which are considered normal elsewhere. For example one says Apple looks for profits and revenue instead of volume. If it's indeed so, why introduce so many options such as big, small, mini and RAM/storage variants? It could've been a one-trick pony all through. On the positive side Apple is in a unique position to optimize the iPhone system software unlike Android phones. This should result in better performance though at a higher price.

There is no stabilizing cover in case of sentimental fluctuations.

If the stock price is not backed by the fundamentals, investing becomes gambling.

Except for an outlier in 2015, we see that 5% pullback was taking longer over the years, starting from 200 days and reaching 400+ days. From this stat, we can expect the pullback to take another 200 days unless there's a big disaster. Also, the table would've been complete if the article had provided the progressive S&P gain from Nov to date for comparison with other data.

In the same lines, Google/Android should copyright the word "sleep" so that no-one else can use it.

If you have a problem with their playstore revenue sharing model, why are you still going behind them? You do it only because it's still profitable for you. You always had an option of directly providing it in your website for users to download Android version of your apps.Google, as a service provider here, should host the facility, put in some security and some R&D to ensure their users aren't impacted by unscrupulous elements and hackers posting app .
