Increase / Decrease in Stock Exchange

The AAPL stock has declined in rate since its all-time high of $670.00 in October of 2012. A decline of which is greater than nearly 20 percent in September 2013, as an overall Investment-Return. Apple accumulates over 2 million dollars in gross sales per salesmen they invest in. An average of over 200 Billion Dollars in profit since the company’s date of birth. AAPL stocks as can be viewed on the chart provided by Money Watch CNN (IPhone-Apple-Stock), have declined in rate of the stock market a few days after every Apple IPhone is launched. Analysts and Investors seem to believe the reason for this ill-doing is due to the excitement and anxiety caused by apples enthusiastic way of advertising and promoting their product to the average consumer. Once the news is out, of what will be in and when Apple plans on launching the IPhone is spread and accepted by the average apple product consumer, their products are not as appealing as they are sought to be. In fact there is little to no progress or advanced achievements that Apple seems to implant In their launch of a new device. Its almost as if they never fail to upset the crowd and maybe even as if they are asking for their prices to drop in the stock market. The reason I have included quoted information on how much Apple generates in profits and quoted information by analysts and investors stating APPL stocks decline in rate a few days after the launch of a new IPhone is quite surprising. I alongside many others feel as if AAPL is wanting to keep their stocks declining in the stock market their fore many new investors or even previous investors keep investing.
In the month of September 2013, Apple told the media they were going to launch an apple IPhone 5s alongside the 5c. Apple seemed to guide the average consumer and investor to believe the 5c was being launched as a good way to promote their product

    The company has two major hurdles that it continually must battle to be successful. The first is the rapid advancement of technology in a monopolistic competition. The second is the expectations of its customer base. There is a significant amount of competitors within this market that are constantly dueling to be cutting edge or have the latest technology. The other is the customer base and their requirements to have a product that satisfies their needs and wants for his or her everyday lives. The uniqueness that Apple has is that they are a luxury product maker and thus must provide a product that tips the scale and compels one to want to purchase such a product. Thus far, Apple clearly understands this dynamic and is doing very well and looks to be pulling…

    In conclusion, challenges lie ahead for the Apple Company. Apple’s positives easily outweigh its negatives at present. The stock remains something of a bargain in this frothy market, too, notwithstanding its recent rally. Indeed, trading at about 16 and 14 times the consensus share-net estimates for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, respectively, the good-quality issue still looks to have room to run. Dividend growth will likely be healthy, as well, with the company now looking to return more of its cash hoard to shareholders. And Apple’s excellent finances make its shares suitable for most…

    Apple’s market capitalization value remained unchanged until 2004, where its value rose steadily on introduction of the iPod. This trend was followed by the promotion of the first iPhone in 2007, driving the share prices to a new high of $180 bn. The economic crisis led to an erratic movement of market value during 2007 to 2009. Confidence in Apple returned with the introduction of the iPad and further iPhone updates, generating a significant increase of value in 2009. Apple’s market value crossed the $600 bn threshold in 2012, marking it the most valuable company in the world. Furthermore, Apple currently owns 4.9% (S7P 500) and 1.2% of the world stock market value, representing a considerable influence on world economic outlook.…
