The title of the article I read was "Apple Loses Round in Wall Street's Expectations Game" and its title really says it all. Despite the triumphing technology Apple incessantly comes up with Wall Street's always changing frequency is still hard to keep up with. Impressively having the second best three-month period ever posted by the revered make of the iPhone, iPad and iPod, one would think this would be enough to keep stocks high and flourishing. However, Wall Street was brutal as it proceeded to result in a $22 billion loss for the company.  Apparently this all occurred because Apple failed to manage the "analyst expectations that can make or break a stock." This shortcoming was a reminder to all that even the booming companies have to watch they're numbers at Wall Street, nothing is ever sure. Luckily though,

Apple presumes to return to their prospering state with the holiday season quickly approaching. With the death of co-founder Steve Jobs, analysts must now try to figure out if the things change with the new Tim Cook to take his place.  Intelligently though,  according to Cook he will not tamper with the "magic" that has skyrocketed Apple's market value by nearly $300 billion during the past decade, surpassing all competition and making the name for most valuable technological company. The main issue with last quarters droppings was the mistake Apple made to release the date of the new iPhone 4s so early. This delayed buyers from purchasing anything else until the newest edition came out, resulting in a decrease in sales. Guidance for analysts is provided by most major companies in order to help keep their stock prices as stable as possible. Hopefully the company can continue to advance, returning back on their feet and on the right direction.
