Uh, don't forget what happened the week after.
I dub it Red October for a reason.
Obviously if you hold common, who cares about Red October.

Just throwing it out there but does anyone think that the mini iPad is just a mini iPad or is there a little something else in it?

Was a code tweak done recently?

Never mind.
Apparently, it's AT&T's fault!

IBM just reported rev $24.7B vs $25.36B est. Stock is getting hit already but we haven't heard guidance yet.

iPad, I just can't understand why I can only NOT login via iPhone... Was a code tweak done recently? if using the Pro Boards app: 0. disconnect iPhone from Mac / PC if connected 1. delete Pro Boards App 2. activate Badger Profanity App and navigate to www.fark.com. Receive bonk on the head or bellylaugh in any thread. This clears the mind like cheese after wine. 3. check and Javascript cookies in iOS Settings under cookies. Make sure both are on 4. connect iPhone and resync the app. 5. Try login again 6. Exhale with any handy leftovers in Profanity app. You may try breathing again ---------------------- If directly in Safari, obviously skip steps 1 and 4.

$651.28, we didn't crack it. Isn't is too early for WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!? All depends on what your WHEEEEEEEEEEE! level is This is plenty for me, but my small Nov 670-680 positions is still in the red. Other than that, my most bullish spread that expires before Jan '14 tops out at a mere 650. But my shares would love to spend some more time in the low 700's.

From AZ on twitter about an hour ago: "Apple has formed an ascending triangle with an upside target of roughly $658 on breakout".

This is the week before earnings, and you have to hope that this is a repeat of the same week in Oct. '11. Perhaps we have another 14.1% rise like we did that week (it went from 369.80 to 422 from EOD on 10-7-11 to EOD on 10-14-11), which would put us at 718.50, an ATH. We also set an ATH on 10-14-11 when who would have thunk it on the previous Friday, when things were going nowhere. How cool would that be? RG, I remember it well. The best week of my entire financial investing life. I do not think that is in the cards, especially now that IBM has laid an egg and will be a drag on the market tomorrow. To be honest, if we could just close over the 50 DMA this week I would be very happy.

Shorts! Can I have your attention! I think you should cover your shorts by 3:00 PM Wednesday. Verizon reports after midnight Wednesday night. The VZ conference call starts before the open Thursday. I'm just sayin! AAPL may gap up Thursday AM.

Just checked the Apple Investor Relations page, and still no dividend date for this quarter. Doesn't it seem a little late? It was July 16 last quarter, and the date was announced a week or two prior IIRC. Also have not seen much speculation on hedge funds posture vis-a-vis that date, again unlike last quarter.

FYI there are >30,000 650 calls expiring Friday. It will be interesting to see how OI distribution changes over the next couple of days... I think this week/month just has too much open interest to allow that much of a shuffle. Next week's OI, however, should rise considerably. M-Th should be interesting. I think I will sell some February puts on Thursday before close.

(Don't you notice the smell?) I think the HFTs and EOs may monitor this board too. There were over 850 visitors in the last 24 hours. (850 is not a record. But, as far as I know, the total number has not reached 1000 yet.) They are not all AAPL Bulls. FWIW: I have never shorted AAPL in any way. HOWEVER; considering Current conditions, I may BUY a Put or two in the future in November and December.

I also have a Pani Plasma display. Owned a bunch actually. Great products! Anyway, the TV biz has brutally thin margins and Pani had a rep for upscale products. They couldn't compete with Sammy in that biz and I think Apple would have a hard time also. JMO cheers to the longs JohnG

Read it with my own eyes and still got a month ahead of myself. Mea culpa

At least one was me on my iPod. I haven't tried to login yet with it. Maybe tomorrow.

Any 2% UP day elicits a WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Close that damn gap and stay above...that's a multiple WHEEEEEEE event. Today's chart is one of my favorites. No gaps, just pure power. Of course, the media invite dropping a day earlier than I anticipated (though it is Apple Tuesday™ - it's a 9:41AM kinda thing) provided the extra rocket fuel to get close to 650.

Please forgive me if this was already posted. The important tidbits are highlighted in BOLD. Apple (AAPL) could have a better outlook than expected when it forecasts fiscal Q1/calendar Q4 results a week from Thursday, October 25th, according to a note this morning from Jefferies & Co.’s Peter Misek. Misek cites lead times of 3 to 4 weeks in the 31 countries where the iPhone is available, and estimates Apple is producing 500,000 units of the iPhone 5 a day. Writes Misek, “We believe CQ4 iPhone builds have been raised for the first time since the iPhone 5 launch from 55-60M to 60-65M.” He’s sticking with a projection for 55 million units to be shipped last quarter. Misek also reflects on chatter lately that Apple is moving away from Samsung Electronics (005930KS), speculating that it has given a “major partnership” for its next chip design, the “A7,” to Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), and that it is considering Intel (INTC), as well. Speaking of Apple, DigiTimes’s Aaron Lee and Joseph Tsai this morning write that Foxconn Electronics and other Apple assembly partners in Asia-Pacific “have reportedly demanded the brand vendor accept a price rise, as their labor costs in China have been rising,” citing unnamed “supply chain sources.” The vendors contend Apple’s standards are stricter, raising their costs. From blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2012/10/16/this-morning-more-signs-aapl-dumps-samsung-surface-prices-briefly-surface/?source=email_rt_mc_body&ifp=0" estimates Apple is producing 500,000 units of the iPhone 5 a day" If someone figures $300 per profit per iPhone, that would be 15 cents per share per day PROFIT just on iPhone 5s. (please check my math!)

'12) should see about 25-30MM IPhones sold. It is the Jan '13 earnings call (which reports the 1Q13 for Apple, or Oct. thru Dec. '12) that should see the 55MM number.

I think I will sell some February puts on Thursday before close. Right now I think the most likely thing is that huge swell at $650 will hold and we'll pin there. But given today's surge, I'll certainly be interested to see what happens tomorrow. If we gap up and run to $660 or higher, will it hold, or will there be frantic shuffling up? From you I've learned what to expect from OI late-week vs Fri close. Now I'm interested in watching how things change mid-week. (Realizing of course that this is not a normal Fri close coming up...)
