expect a dramatic rise or fall in Apple's stock price after hours.
The reported results are of interest to MR readers, but the investors are looking at those past figures and the future outlook. That is what really determines the way Wall St. will waver.

Short term traders beware and stay out on that evening, don't hold ANY overnight trades, you will blow through your stops if history repeats.

# of iPhones and iPods sold will be interesting. If they miss estimates on these at all expect a pretty large drop. I'm expecting them to miss with the economy going in the crapper, but who knows.
My hope is that they do miss so I can layer on some more shares. Long term, I think their prospects look good.

So what can we expect for this anything really interesting?
the big news will be if the stock doesn't move 10 points in either direction! it may oscillate wildly a number of times
the earnings estimates are so looked at, analyzed, soothsayed and seanced BEFORE announcement, that the 4pm hysteria causes deep mania (either panic selling or hysterical buying) for hours...
I agree that faint-hearted long or medium-term investors turn away until the evening... I am positive on AAPL longterm (how could u not be??) and enjoy the capitalistic orgy - but it ain't for some
