If aapl was "the new MSFT" and traded at MSFT's current valuation, aapl stock would be close to $700 right now. AAPL' s stock just got too popular and now has gotten too unpopular....
If AAPL is truly the next MSFT, then please give it MSFT's valuation...
Hillsenrath (sp) from the WSJ already told you what to expect. Said Bernake will be market friendly, just like has has been 99% of the time. I wouldn't bet against that happening....
Hillsenrath (sp) from the WSJ already told you Bernake will be market friendly. U really want to bet against that?
there are no daily highs for appl call options, only daily lows..... been that way for a long time, its hard to believe anybody buys them.
Not true at all..... His point was, AAPL has already crashed..... So the market will..... Not aapl's going to crash, but aapl's already crashed...
Usually when u get all lathered up, its the sign of a decent trading buy...
thats proven to be true in the most recent past
what about below $430?
A down opening tomorrow is a longs best chance.....
that was your best call of the day... I saw it too.... and aggressively sold calls as fast as I could, even though I think selling calls is the crowded trade right now and makes me uncomfortable....
With the div included, appl's down about $6 in the last QTR. So about 1%..... Only the option sellers and good traders have been the winners. Those who have screamed long or short all day, have been the losers.....
U know I think aapl's in a range. In the 420's has been the bottom of that range, lets see if it holds. Over the past three months, those who have bought in the 420/430 range and sold in the 450's has been the winner. I had no expectations from WWDC. The CEO said in the last earnings call, it would be fall for any new product release and thats what I believe.
U do realize how much preferreds are dropping right now? They were/are the ultimate bubble asset along with bonds and are getting crushed. At least in a bond, you have a maturity date... Good luck with those bud,
To the victor goes the spoils..... the more you win, the more you get laid.... Unfortunately, the bashers have been the victors.... The stock suffers from serious lack of buyers, anybody who trades it can see it on a daily basis.... and I'm not a basher
they are giving them away...... at these prices, not sure selling them is such a sweet deal either.... Even puts are on sale.....
My take is aapl customer and potential customers, love it..... Even heard from an anti appl guy, it was good.... But traders, stock owners, hedge funds ect would have been more excited over a cheap plastic third world phone.... Its hard for a stock/company to break a down cycle in a stock, this one appears to be trying, or at least has based to the point of stopping the drop.
How much the bet?
selllers should get very little.... and now they are...
The CBOE was just fined $6mil for not properly supervising their member firms who were aggressively shorting stocks against regulations....
