For Apple stock in particular, I would zoom out a little further than a few days and you will see that it is fairly normal for this stock to have really wide swings for a variety of reasons and sometimes for no reason at all (at least that I can tell). For instance, it was way down into the 120's when the credit news first started to come out a few weeks ago. Apple stock has been heavily traded and very volatile for the last few years. So I don't really think Apple's management is guided very much by their day to day stock price. At least I hope not.
