Apple Inc. (AAPL): How’s It Feel to Be Rodney Dangerfield?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), though its stock price may require – as well as all the negative press the company has suffered the last few months – the company to speak away from the current earnings report to drive home other points that are important for future perceptions, the company will not give in. Even without Steve Jobs, the company has remained intractable in conceding anything before it’s time to announce it. If such a move would ease investor fears, Apple seems like it would rather continue to create white knuckles and remain on its own schedule with its own plan and let everyone sweat a little longer until it has something meaningful to report.

So really, no matter what the numbers say Tuesday, once can be certain that without some context, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) earnings once again will see no respect, no respect at all. And with no certain future guidance, $390 just might not be the bottom yet.
