I doubt that this played a role here. Apple traded more or less flat over the quarter. If there were whisper numbers of even better results than what turned out to be a massively successful quarter, one should have seen the stock price go up significantly over the quarter.

No, you’re missing the point. The “massively successful quarter” (which it was) is what the market expected. Which is why we traded sideways.

So your argument is that the market anticipated the current quarter some 8 months ago? That implies a rather psychic level of prediction.

Or perhaps massive option interest is keeping a cap on the stock. Once they expire, maybe there´ll be a pop.
