A bit frustrating to see AAPL not really participating in today's rally. Perhaps it's due to the GS investor note (no link) regarding Traffic Acquisition Costs (TAC) and reiterating their $140 price target.

Volume cont. to be low. Sometimes aapl is an indicator where the market is going. It is weak today which means the market may be weaker in two days.
SPY is about to close above the 200MA. This may be bullish short term. Tomorrow we will get a better picture.
The GS note seems to be having an affect on aapl. I think his numbers are more bullish then mine.

I find myself a little bullish in the short term. AAPL needs a stimulus to break out of these doldrums.

Since I took my first foray into selling covered calls yesterday, I'm sure AAPL will skyrocket and a portion of my shares will be called away.
You can thank me later.

Futures indicate that SPY will close above the 200MA tomorrow. Apple looks like it wants to rebound. Remember if we get past 176 then 184 is the next target.
Trump folded on the wall and China like I thought he will. Looks like I may have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks before I buy puts gain.
Side note. I talking to a couple of professionals last night at a dinner. A lawyer and a health management executive. They both complained about how expensive Apple products have become. The Mac Book Pro was the big complaint last night.

I talking to a couple of professionals last night at a dinner. A lawyer and a health management executive. They both complained about how expensive Apple products have become. The Mac Book Pro was the big complaint last night. Has the Mac Book Pro really become more expensive? My first laptop was a wall street, then a pismo, then a titanium, then a Core 2 duo, then a etc etc.. They've all been kinda the same price. Never the cheapest but always productive tools. As a 'professional' myself a MacBook Pro is just a tool. I use it to make money and over the course of it's life the initial cost is irrelevant (it is tax depreciated over the course of it's life). There are numerous studies that show Macs have low life cycle costs. There are plenty of alternatives to a Mac Book Pro if they don't like the initial cost. It's not like a lawyer or health management exec need anything too powerful. Spreadsheets, word processing and email (...and heavy use of netflix) at a guess? So probably expensive to send emails on, yeah... but then a Mclaren is a pretty expensive car to drop the kids off at school. So I kinda think the argument that a Mac Book Pro is becoming expensive is somewhat disingenuous. Add to that.... It is well known that iPhones have high resale value, last well, get frequent OS updates and are super high quality from both a hardware and software perspective... Spongey, you of all people know all of this.... What's your beef?... c'mon you can tell us...

I'm sure most of Apple products are way beyond their level of wealth. I guess that's why when I snapped a quick shot while going by the Apple Store at Westfield Valley Fair, in the heart of Silicon Valley, at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday afternoon today, the store was almost deserted and the people who *were* there, judging by their expensive-looking clothes, were obviously *extremely* wealthy. /s
