Apple's Value Dropped ~$45 Billion Last Night – The Size Of Three Nokias

Apple stock dropped 10% in over night trading thanks to slowing growth reported in its Q4 earnings.

The 10% drop shaved about $45 billion from Apple's market cap.

To put that number in perspective, consider that $45 billion is…

• About three times the size of Nokia's market cap.
• More than 4X the size of Research in Motion's market cap.
• $12 billion bigger than Hewlett Packard's market cap.

Thanks to Tom Gara for putting these kinds of comparisons in our head.
