+1 anything is fair game -- except personal attacks
nothing wrong with the discussion becoming robust. every one’s opinon (on topic) is valid and helps to tell the whole story I dont agree with every opinion and that’s the best thing here - the diversity of opinion it challenges my own assumptions make it negative, make it positive, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s considered.
Looking forward to some momentum from the positive sentiment... lets see some successive ATH's

So, Samsung has explained why it's Note 7 phones were catching fire. Great, they've got a handle on it. Oh, wait what's that? A factory on fire? Oh, no... It's a Samsung Battery Factory on fire. (pictures in link)

Apple could go up a bit from here but look at how overbought it is on a rsi basis. We are talking 10 year highs. Usually means apple will pull back at least 5 pct. still bullish Med term but short term - going to dark side mode with puts

Acting more like consolidation. We'll see.

I think a whole bunch of things are going to get a little more interesting soon. Sorry I didn't chime in yesterday with my support of you holding things together here. I concur with the general consensus that the reasons for a lighter participation rate are varied but my take has always been that Apple just hasn't been very interesting for the past couple of years. Much has to do with how secretive they are as they weave their web of utility, complexity and interoperability. Ped's podcast with Neil Cybart addresses this in a round about way and I'd highly recommend it for a reminder of why many of us are still here. ped30.com/2017/02/08/podcast-neil-cybart-apple/

It took a while, but that cross over 132 looked pretty decisive.

Has anyone noticed the negative tone/attitude of Ross Gerber (analyst usually on CNBC) toward Apple lately? He used to be a super AAPL bull and generally gushed over how great they were doing. The last two recent appearances on CNBC that I caught, he had a decidedly negative opinion toward Apple. It reminded of Florian Mueller a few years back during the height of the patent trials, when his articles flipped from defending Apple against evil Samsung to suddenly writing articles that made him look like he was on Samsung's payroll. Gerber's change hasn't been that severe, but it was frustrating to listen to him recently and then read his take on CNBC (below). Whether somewhat correct or not, he just sounds like he's whining about everything AAPL now. www.cnbc.com/2017/02/08/ross-gerber-of-gerber-kawasaki-on-apple-tv-original-content-hires.html

He did cut his firms holdings in AAPL so he walks the walk.

God forgive me. Doubled my short position in apple - feels like I'm cheating on my wife(it's just a trade. It's just a trade, it's just a trade). Holding April 130 puts at a price of 3 bucks. Plan to exit at 5 with a stop loss at 2.50.

Adjusted for dividends and splits, AAPL traded at a new all time high yesterday.

Plan to exit at 5 with a stop loss at 2.50. I wish you the best of luck. Well, not too much because I'm holding the opposite position from you, March 125 calls. I've already trimmed a little. There are times to short AAPL, this just doesn't feel like it to me. It is showing a rounding bottom and a vague cup and handle. It looks a lot like the beginning of the last run. -Entropy

I'm considering shorting TSLA via puts before their earnings.
