We still are looking for the quick very short term money. A company does very well and the investors are nervous, how sick can you be.
Apple sold 47.8 million iPhone5 between October and end of December 2012, a record sales number!, more Phones sold than ever.
But the anal lists (made into two words on purpose) predicted 50 million and how does the stock exchange react: value of apple shares drops by 10%.
Makes sense does it? Record sales and the shares value drops because they did not reach the estimation/prediction of the anal lists. Who are these anal lists, what real value have their predictions? In the middle ages we hung, people with a crystal ball who predicted things, from the highest tree for witchcraft.
People wake up this way we will go to a next credit crisis for sure!
Better results are better and should be embraced for what they are: GOOD”!

If Apple doesn’t sell as many new iPhone 5s as the older models, that will affect the company’s margins.”

Yes it will affect margins – higher! A higher mix of older models would decrease revenue but increase gross margins.
