Apple may have reported a record-breaking quarterly revenue last Wednesday, unfortunately, its shares took a deep dive, estimated dropping at 10% in after trading hours at the same day.

US Consumer Confidence Plummets In December 2012 On...
The Christmas Holiday caused both light economic movement across the board and a limited release of economic data but at least most of it put the housing sector into the limelight.
