I just don't see it staying down for long, unless the holiday quarter sales were especially bad.
Brand recognition has never been better, it is firing on all cylinders with iPods, Macs, and other products, and mac marketshare is up.
Unlike a struggling Dell or gateway, things actually look pretty good for Apple, as they expand in to new potentially lucrative markets (on Demand video and SmartPhones).
It's been my experience that Jobs *never* lives up to the pre-MacWorld hype, and that there is generally a bit of short term deflation in stock price as a result.
I'm hoping that analysts are reading MORE into the Intel numbers than they should WRT Apple. Perhaps thinking by extension that Apple isn't selling as many Intel based Macs?
Apple is a relatively small customer for Intel (though high profile), so hopefully Apple numbers are good... it's just the slower sales on the PC side of the aisle that are causing a drag on Intel. Here's hoping anyway.
I'd be happy if it is back to $175 by the end of the week...
