Don't forget tomorrow (5/10) AAPL trades ex-dividend.
And Yes, hledgard, the market has been in a tizzy over the Chinese trade negotiations.

The China trade risk is getting louder, not helped by Trump threats.
If I was holding short term calls, I'd be drinking. But all my positions are long term, so this drama (and Bud) is for the gamblers.

It’s not debatable.... the language coming out of Washington with regards to trade. I don’t know how spooking your own markets helps your position .... I don’t think it does. Reckless behavior coupled with little to no strategy to cope with a problem that did indeed need addressing. Sheesh ...... Cheers to the longs

Reckless behavior coupled with little to no strategy to cope with a problem that did indeed need addressing. Why isn't this in the political thread? It isn't about language, and "spooking your own markets" is an unserious way to express something if you think about it. Long-term interests are all that matter to serious people in government and business. The Chinese entered the WTO on false pretenses. They've weaponized the South China Sea. But language will break us? Come on.

Hard to tell if there will be a deal. How much pain is Trump willing to take will be a big factor. He was not happy in Dec. The uncertainty does add to the volatility. Put OI interest is what I use to determine direction.
Some signs point to revisiting the lows of Jan. I am not so sure we will go that low. A significant correction has been apparent for quite some time. Yet WS has raised aapl targets to allow their friends to get out in the last 2 months while retail keeps pouring in.
If we do get to 142, I will be curious to see if WS once again starts to lower price targets like they did last fall.

I did my best to answer the question ... we could all bury our heads in the sand and pretend it has nothing to do with share price. Your accusations regarding China may well be correct ... my point is this could be handled behind closed doors and not with hubris and threats in public which leave the other side no choice but to reply in kind. Not helpful imho.

I reinvest dividends into AAPL stock.
A lower share price at the time of dividend payment will yield additional shares.
HMMMMMMM.....
OTOH: it seems to me AAPL ALWAYS trades higher on dividend pay days to HURT the re-investor.

Not helpful imho. Share prices are effected by anything and everything. That's why they're so unpredictable. It's debatable whether closed doors and/or nice talk would make any difference since this were some small diplomatic or legal matter. For one, everyone knows what is being discussed and the markets would be spooked in any case. Moreover, airing things in public would happen in any case since the Chinese think spooking American investors might cause our government to concede. They think democracies are weak and pathetic right? Not saying Americans don't or wouldn't have their own motivations in seeking advantage through publicity, but in the case of democratic societies hashing out in private things of this nature ain't gonna happen, not sure if it ever has happened, nor do I think it should. You might like it, but that's not the way things are done on this side of the pond.
