That's brave, prazan. ;D Wonder what iPad has to say. From the last page: Cyprus looks to be a boost to the markets Monday. Should be interesting!

That's brave, prazan. ;D Wonder what iPad has to say. LOL! I kinda look at all my favs together to tell the story: MACD-h, moving averages, Fast STO, Fibs, trendlines. Right now, it looks like: so far, so good, keep it up! ;D 462 --> 465 --> 472 --> 485 --> 505 However high it goes, whenever the retrace comes, it needs to stay ABOVE that darn daily SMA-20. If buyers will finally step in there on a retest, then bulls are in business, and bears are hosed. Otherwise, buy puts.

There might be issues in Syria Monday.Yes, but the news out of Cyprus is looking very good.

In all honesty, I think the near-term line in the sand, until AAPL gets some real distance from it via sideways actions (I sure hope not) or up, is the downtrend line.

Speaking of technicals, Henry from SI gives us the Sunday outlook... www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=28796528From the Master: AAPL…On Friday, FINALLY broke the major 6 months' downtrend…..but not without a few questions as to the validity of the breakout... The breakout did not meet the usual TA rules regarding confirmed decisive breakouts.. either in extent (the 2-3% usually expected) or in volume ( a sharp upsurge)..I estimate the extent of the breakout price move at just over 1 %, and volume for the day was up only about 2%. However….if extent and volume were deemed acceptable...last week's action can be viewed as having completed a bullish pennant measuring to about 486, which would roughly correspond to the next potential overhead chart resistance area.. Hopefully the foregoing questions will be clarified promptly next week, but as of now, my inclination is to give AAPL the benefit of any doubts and to conclude that: a valid trend reversal has been signaled, which now points to a leg up toward 485ish.. Cobra also sees a bullish pennant forming.

Anyone else having trouble loading AFB pages the last couple of days? Seems okay on my IOS devices but a problem on my Mac Book Air. yep Thought it was my Mac, but couldn't anything amiss. I think its a Proboards issue. Turns out it was the ticker box causing the load issues, since my server that hosts the code went down. I've got it running again on a secondary server for the time being. I'm currently looking into changing some code so that things will fail more nicely (page loads w/o waiting) if the server cuts out again.

Well, I think ProBoards actually WAS just plain not working this weekend, but that does explain the "half-loaded" situation the other times. iPad could also move the quote box into the footer, which should help under the Top-Down Theory of HTML coding (top code runs first, bottom code runs last).

The countertrend is up, and AAPL has to start delivering on these signs of strength as of market open tomorrow. Monday is a very important short-term composure day. I plan to get defensive if AAPL isn't acting "as it should" after the opening bell.

Looks like there's a way I can keep the box up top and let the rest of the page load up while the ticker code is downloading from the external server. I'll play around tonight and send some sort of fix to iPad.

but all the Indices (including Asian) are up. My god, the indices including the Euro are looking very, very good right now. And the blankety blank pre-market doesn't open for another couple of hours.

I plan to get defensive if AAPL isn't acting "as it should" after the opening bell. Cant speak directly about how AAPL will trade at the Open (looking forward to pre-market in a big way), but all the Indices (including Asian) are up. I may jump in at the open, even if AAPL gaps up. I'm struggling with that thought. If there's a gap, I'm applying Laz's gap trading lesson and am going to dabble with some weeklies for a quick ring of the register. Have to have patience and let it do it's thing for the first 60-90 minutes before deciding.

Have to have patience and let it do it's thing for the first 60-90 minutes before deciding. By that time it's likely too late. If you think the direction is up, you have to buy in the first minute on an initial pullback from the gap up. This means actually placing your limit order above Friday's close, but just below the gap-open price. Calculate the likely option price for the open. On the bright side, if you do get filled you'll know in a few minutes whether you are right or wrong. Buying options high, and selling higher, takes cajones. But there are occasions where it makes more sense than other times. This may be one of them. I just worry about Tuesday more. Pictures of chaos in cyprus with real bank runs could change sentiment quicky.
