Apple Makes Tons of Profits, Scumbag Analysts are Still Disappointed.

AAPL-20140127-After-Hour

The short version:

Apple had a great quarter

Apple also provides guidance for its fiscal 2014 second quarter:

  • Revenue between $42 billion and $44 billion
  • Gross margin between 37 percent and 38 percent
  • Operating expenses between $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion
  • Other income/(expense) of $200 million
  • Tax rate of 26.2 percent

Analysts are disappointed because Apple will never make gazillion-bajillion dollars in revenue.

Apple stock took a nose dive in after-hours trading.

To me, these financial analysts are White Collar Criminals who obviously looking to make quick bucks one someone else’s hard work.
