What Caused Apple to Drop Today
In the video below, Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker breaks down Apple's wild ride today. The company opened strongly through noon, but saw a steep plunge in the afternoon. All told, from its high to its bottom today, Apple moved almost $27 billion in market cap! That's a huge move, nearly the same size as defense stalwart Lockheed Martin's entire value. To get a better breakdown of why there was enthusiasm around Apple early today, and why it waned as the day progressed, watch the video below to see Eric's analysis.
