Apple is going to do great, the shares will rebound today but not to high as people are waiting to see results of election. I am not a democrat or republican, but in terms of tech. Obama has done alot to support new start ups, address the skill shortage in the sector ect... Obama also is more focused on renewable tech. then Romney hence if Obama is elected many savvy investors will pull their money out of oil as concerned re: Obama's direction in this regard and find other viable places like Apple to put their money. In terms of Apple directly, revenue has been slightly down, in the last two quarters although still profit was in 8 billions for both that is larger than most companies annual revenue yet alone quarterly profits, and is fantastic, but down a little as there have been higher costs for Apple in getting so many new refreshes to new products started up. Fiscal year 2013 is going to be excellent for Apple, investors/Apple customers who love Apple email tcook@apple.com encouarging and motivating him to continue to innovate current products and create new products, with flare and imagination, that is the Apple way to continue to think and imagine, Apple is such a great company it must remain that way.
