Stocks are usually 'priced' in the marketplace based on assumptions 
'going forward'. If, in fact, people sold Apple because of last 
quarter's performance, that's evidence of only two things : One- A 
'jittery' market. Two: Inexperienced investors. Period. Apple, on 
fundamental grounds, is looking just fine, going forward, but in 
times of uncertainty, 'fundamentals' give way to 'jittery', 'any 
excuse to buy or sell' behaviors.

If there are LEAPS for Apple stock [which i'm too tired to verify 
now], then waiting for Apple to take a 'hit' and buying a long term 
future 'call' would be not unwise, to my way of thinking. To each 
their own.
