45536 Et hurtigt kig på after hours trading viser faktisk apple pt er nede med 5,5% på nyheden. Spørgsmålet er så om den lige skal have en dag eller 2 til at rase ud og det så kunne være en god mulighed for at samle billigt op.
Steve Jobs er selvfølgelig et ikon for innovation i universel verdensklasse og hans betydning kan nok ikke overdrives. Apple skal nok ned på det her i en periode med spekulation, men glem ikke at Apples nøgletal IKKE er anstrengte, de ligger med en PE forward på 12-13 stykker, derfor vil der være bund under faldet. Det kan være en oppurtunity.
