Not a happy bunch this morning

[PD]

Not me.... the shareholders of Apple that is. Apparently they only made a profit of $8.8 BILLION in the last 3 months

Oh woe is me .......times are hard.

from what I heard it's not so much Apple that are unhappy, it's 'the market' - and the problem with the market is the greedy b'st'rds were expecting Apple to make a bigger profit than they did, so that's bad m'kay

And therein lies the problem with investing in the most secretive tech company there ever was. So based on someone's external projections the profit should have been bigger, but this is Apple and if history is anything to go by the difference may well have been siphoned off into R&D on what they do best - "the next big thing".

Which, perversely, would be highly likely to make those investors even more money...

Apple may not be happy but British Gas are, the bucking fastards.
