Another toy purchased with AAPL money is in your future. =) On a side note, I don't mind the way Icahn has brought attention to the stock, even if we don't agree with everything he says. GLTU.
Smart money buys AAPL stock. Be smart with your money and buy yourself something nice. I live near a guy who owns a nice Benz with the license plate "AAPL". Be that guy.
IMO it will happen, between the new product unveiling, an earnings beat and a possible China Mobile announcement.
When AAPL announces that it crushed guidance on the 28th you're going to see at least a 10% move after hours.
Where were all the margin bears when GOOG posted that it's margins are continuing to compress? How about Motorola continuing to bleed all over the floor? I remember when AAPL posted a similar quarter (Q1 2013) and the bears were out in full force. Funny how selective "analysts" are. Anyways, AAPL is crushing estimates this quarter.
AAPL>GOOG.
Gov't shutdown ova. AAPL party on!
All things are pointing that direction. We have the beginnings of a nice technical move up. After earnings it's party on for longs.
Huge buying today ahead of earnings and IPad.
I'll think I'll just wait until AAPL reports before jumping to conclusions.
Remember, it's not manipulation, it's call writers "hedging" to screw option buyers out of the most money possible. Lol.
Max pain still at $485. Big boy option writers don't want the price to get too far away from that level. Watch them try and pin it tomorrow on any sign of intraday weakness. Same shit different Friday, gets old.
Almost sold 490 calls last night. Glad I held off.
They're going to announce some pretty rockin earning in a couple weeks.
I wish AAPL would just put in a billion dollar market order on an options Friday and make options writers pucker.
Good old options Friday, with max pain at $480 they walk it down hard right off the bat. What else is new.
Where'd you see that? Figured it'd be Oct. 22 or 23 due to the end of the quarter not being until Sept. 28th.
I would like to see the current buyback accelerated. Issue the rest of the bonds and buy up as much stock as possible in the next few months.
Carl is making his case for a bigger share buyback or to accelerate the current one IMO.
CNBC is a fine example of how the transfer of wealth from retail to the 1% happens. Hit the stock of a good company until retail runs away and no one wants to touch it, scoop up the now undervalued shares, pump the stock. Repeat. AAPL was one of those stocks.
Shorts were caught with their pants down when AAPL announced 9 million phones sold. They tried to spin the numbers but then Sprint CEO came on and said demand for the 5 is so strong they can't keep anything in stock. Shorts tried today and will probably try tomorrow to at least get sideways action to finish covering before the inevitable rise of AAPL to $600 this year.
A case can be made for shorting the indexes but if you short AAPL you're going to get cut off at the knees. AAPL will test $600 by 2013.
Whispers are that the deal was inked before the China unveiling of the 5S/5C, but that AAPL in true AAPL fashion wanted to get everything in place (most importantly inventory) before the 5 hits China Mobile. Looks like they're about ready, probably in the next couple weeks when supply catches up.
ITunes radio is just getting started IMO. Will be extremely profitable to AAPL in the coming years.
They covered on the AM dip after the PM rip. They know they're on the wrong side of the trade. Only going up from here.
Market: Apple needs to come out with a cheap phone or Apple is finished.
Cook: Here's the 5C, a cheaper option but we don't make cheap crap.
Market: Waaaaa! That's not what we wanted! Now we'll downgrade your stock.
Cook: 9 million IPhones sold first weekend. ITunes radio shaping up to be a huge success, by the way, we'll come in at high end of guidance for revenue AND profit margins. Piss off.
But but but I thought it was either margins or market share? Most analysts eating some crow today, imagine that.
They didn't just beat sales forecast, they crushed it. Heard the whispering last night and posted it to the board, congrats to those who loaded PM.
You just gotta be on the look out for the fake finger making dudes. They're everywhere I hear.
Lol, they had to lift a print off the user, make a fake finger from a mold containing the print to unlock the phone....I guess if that makes you feel less secure about your IPhone. Look out for those fake finger makin' guys.
Whispers are that sales of the 5C and 5S are close to 8M units. By far and away a record weekend for sales. The "analysts" have tried to spin the wait times as low supply, that does not appear to be the case.
Agreed, I've put my bet on AAPL continuing to innovate and dominate the profit share of the tech industry. Although I don't think 1000 is out of the question considering valuations and share buybacks.
IMO the big players help each other out. The most recent play was to short AAPL and go long GOOG, it was one of the worst kept secrets on Wall Street. No matter what the fundamentals of the stocks were, paid analysts were told to spin it one way or the other. Cramer admitting he did this is just one player among many. The little guys like me and you can do little about this, but IMO the next play will be go long AAPL again, especially if the overall market stagnates because the valuations are no longer supported by the fundamentals. Money will come rushing back into AAPL and analysts will call for blue skies again, obviously by then the big boys will have already taken their positions.
Analysts all pounding the table about how the 5C will be a bust and 4 downgrades in a half hour was all a coordinated effort to bring shares down, wipe out call buyers, and present a buying opportunity before the sales numbers come out next week.
Looks like the next leg up forming on the chart.
All those downgrades and bashing were obviously part of an agenda. Now they'll admit the sky wasn't falling after all.
Now reports are saying new IPhone demand is well above expectations, and AAPL will probably post a beat for the quarter. See how this works?
Options max pain at $475 so I'd expect a nice rebound for the rest of the week. Just needed today to finish fleecing the suckers.
Had a feeling they would push the stock down even if AAPL announced the cure for cancer at the unveiling. Analysts are great contrarian indicators. GLTU.
