In reply to the discussion: Apple stock falls after announcements [View all]tomm2thumbs
(13,297 posts)37. interesting to see the loss of $38 Billion dollars in about an hour
Interesting charts shown below to see how the day worked out for Apple's iPhone6 event in Cupertino.
CHART 1: Value was way up after they announced their electronic wallet feature for the iPhone 6.

CHART 2: Things dropped after the iWatch product was announced / thereafter.

______________
My guess is that announcing a product without shipping the product until some unknown time next year (5+ months away) and the look of the actual watch product must have had some impact on the wild swing. I don't think their stock would have slid from that peak had they proved they had hit another one out of the park with their watch.

You can't compare a layman's hypothetical concept to a working device like the Apple Watch

That's the problem with hype, it's easier to create expectations than to meet them. n/t
