It was an up day for the market and most technology stocks, but not for Apple.
Apple stock fell another 2.5% to close at $430--its lowest closing price since the stock's slide began last September.
Apple is now down almost 40% from its peak.
And for the first time in forever, anyone who has bought Apple in the past year and held it has lost money on it.
What's going on with Apple's stock? How low could it go?
On the first question, there are several things going on with Apple's stock.
Some are fundamental, having to do with changes in Apple's business.
Others are related to sentiment and changes in Apple's shareholder base ("Momentum" and "growth" investors are dumping the stock, on the theory that Apple's growth days are over. And as they dump it, the only folks willing to buy it are "value" investors who care deeply about price).
One of the things that is not happening with Apple's stock anymore, which many people thought was a big reason for Apple's collapse at the end of last year, is tax-related selling. Tax rates have already gone up. So anyone selling Apple now is selling it for reasons other than trying to lock in a low capital gains rate.
