 @SteffenJobbs Hard to respond to this without any specific sources in your comment. How Wall Street values Apple has historically had little to do with actual current performance. It is by its nature a speculation-based market. That said, we are also speculating here. If we knew how to accurately predict the future we’d all be billionaires here at Pingdom. 😉
