Why didn't the market react to Apple's 700 million potential new customers?

On Thursday's edition of Investor Beat, host Alison Southwick and Motley Fool One analyst Jason Moser dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Apple's (AAPL -2.19%) potential customer base just increased by 700 million, so why doesn't the market care? General Motors (GM -0.91%) is done with Chevrolet and focusing on Opel in Europe. And Dollar General (DG -2.09%) may have just beaten earnings expectations, but when you dig into the numbers, it gets a bit smoky. In this segment from Investor Beat, Jason talks about the day's movers and shakers on Wall Street.
