MediaWatch: Market takes knife to Apple, determined to find worm

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

JOHN MURRELL, from the Mercury News wraps ups Apple’s latest issues with investors:

Investors brushed aside the good news, dug through the numbers until they found a flattening of iPod unit sales, and took the company’s usual conservative guidance as a sign that the nation’s broader economic woes are now weighing on Apple and everything is going to hell. Or something like that. “They’re just knocking the cover off the ball, but no one seems to care,” said Scott Rothbort, president of LakeView Asset Management. Attempts to put the results in perspective and interpret Apple’s strategy were drowned out by the stampede for the exits.
