Apple Inc. shares are down another 2% as investors assess many issues. Locking in gains at 15% after fortunes have been made is only one part. The new tax regime and its impact on consumer spending will be an issue, going forward even for Apple.

Jeff Gundlach, head of Doubleline Capital, says he is short Apple shares. Mr. Gundlach said that downside could be all the way down at $425 because that is the level that the stock just went parabolic from earlier this year. If Mr. Gundlach is right then Apple has more than 20% more downside to it. Gundlach accused Apple of no longer releasing new innovative products.

Shaw Wu of Stern Agee maintains his Buy rating and said, “We continue to believe that AAPL is positioned to outperform in this tough macroeconomic environment with its defendable strategic and structural advantages and its vertical integration. Our price target of $840 assumes what we think is a reasonable and conservative 14X multiple on our Y 2013 EPS plus net cash.”

Just Wednesday it would have taken over $105-B in investor inflows to get Apple back to its prior high above 700/shr. That is even more today. The drop of over 2% today to 546 is really only the lowest price since late in May. It is also important to realize that even after a drop of more than 150 pts that Apple’s stock is still + 36% since the end of Y 2011.

After Apple broke its 50-Day Moving Average in early October, it has not traded well. It broke its 200-Day MA last week. Those levels as of now are 645.21 on the 50-Day and $588.89 on the 200-Day MA, but these change daily.
