The market is not all that thrilled with Apple's report, despite the fact that it beat on revenue, EPS, iPads, and iPhones.

The initial reaction the report, which included guidance, was good. The stock was up 4.5%.

It started to break down during the earnings call.

On the call, Tim Cook burst investors' bubble. He said new products are coming this fall, and throughout 2014.

That means nothing new from Apple between October of 2012 and September of 2013. That's almost an entire year with nothing from Apple.
