    No s***...

    It's called profit-taking.
    AAPL is at a high, finance 101, not news.

    Why?

    WTF! If it has to do with Apple, people are dumping the stock. It is at a high, and people being naturally liers and greedy f**** will tend to sell and take a profit so they can buy puts on microshit when it dives this summer so they can afford more Apple and the cycle of greed continues.

    WTF?

    It has to do with the fact that Janus thinks that the 13 million x $24 ($320 million) is better invested someplace else. It is a matter of confidence, how fast apple is growing compared to how some other company is going to go. They think that apple is at its top.

    More importantly, it is at the top from where Janus has been. Someone else had to buy all that they had at near a 2 year high. There is two sides to the coin, for someone to sell, there has to be someone to buy.

    Re: WTF?

    Yeah, but it is Janus, the people who have been accused and caught stealing, lying, and other nefarious deeds to boost fund values, get unfair advantage, and rob customers of money. I should know, I used to own some..;.
