After AAPL's Earnings, Shares Fell 8%, Icahn Bought $500M. Meanwhile, Watch Apple's Poetic Whitman Epic Commercial

Yes, AAPL's Earnings Were Below Estimates and Shares Fell 8%. Icahn Bought 500 M Shares.

Meanwhile, Apple's iPad Air Commercial is absolutely beautiful. Love Whitman.

"To quote from Whitman, 'You are here — that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.' What will your verse be?"

AAPL Earnings To Know:

Tim Cook admitted that iPhone 5c's Demand 'turned out to be different than we thought.'

REUTERS: The world's most valuable technology company had lost $43 billion of its market capitalization - more than the entire market value of Twitter Inc - at the stock's intra-day low of $502.07.

Carl Icahn, bought $500M worth of Apple shares. Icahn believes they are quite inexpensive right now but may go up a good amount as Apple releases a new product.

REUTERS: "Beyond the share buyback program, Icahn said he believes investors are underestimating Cook's message that the company will come out with products in entirely new categories this year. 

"I think it will be huger than people think," Icahn said. "They haven't done this in four years and the last one they did was something called the iPad. And let's not forget that Apple has a huge cult following.""

Beautiful and Poetic Apple Commercials: 

COMMERCIAL:

John Keating, Dead Poet's Society: "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. 

And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. 

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. 

To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" 

Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
