Is the Age of Apple Over?

Apple shares were falling Monday morning after The Wall Street Journal reported that the tech giant was slashing orders for iPhone 5 parts by half.

Steve Jobs magic has faded.

Competition is up. Profit margins down. Stock price undr pressure.

With Apple falling below $500 for the first time since February 2012, do you see it as a good investment?

As far as the telephones, people who are satisfied with their present phone will not be tempted to buy a new one with features they will not use.

It's not about the use of the phone. It is more about being able to say you have the latest gimmick.

I own possibly the largest home entertainment electronics business by any Guyanese. And I can tell you that customers want to know from me what I am working on and when I shall have the next gadget on show. The fcat that they might have spent a fortune with me and other companies already is of no concern to them. They just want to say that they got the latest version of whatever it is.

Apple has one phone. They tweak it with minor changes and release it as a new phone every year. I think people are getting tired of buying the same phone over and over. And on their iPhone 5 they changed the connector so your iPhone 4 accessories wont fit. People didnt want the added expense of all new accessories.

Guyana has a big market for this 

Remember when Sony was riding high and mighty? Their Walkman was Apples iPhone. They rested on their laurels, stopped innovating and went down the tubes. Apple is going the same way.

Long on equity....plenty plenty money making moves.
