Last day of the month ... AAPL up in PM after having an excellent day yesterday. Let's keep it going - fingers crossed.  |

Announced earlier this morning - the AAPL vs. Samsung case in which there is still $450 Million that is owed to AAPL (remember the judge cut the amount of the earlier decision) is now scheduled for some time between November 12th and 18th.

GOOG app this morning, Google Now, is attempting to challenge Siri. Can be downloaded on any iPhone/iPad as of this morning. Whatever.
Ever feel like you're talking to yourself in an empty room? That's how I'm feeling this morning - Wake up peeps!

The all-encompassing downtrend line is around 433 on the daily and 436 on the weekly. Need to break and hold as the first step toward putting in 385 as the bottom.

If we don't gap over the daily SMA-50, or plow through it on a short squeeze, I'm thinking some consolidation* here between daily SMA-20 / 50 might bode well for continuation and another leg up. *EW: Wave-4 smooshie before leg up, versus B-wave smooshie before leg down like last time from 469? EW pals, see me in EW thread... |

Good point, Al. Bulls need to hold that 415-418-ish area (daily EMA-13 and SMA-20). Ideally, retrace that fills the gap from yesterday's open and finds a whole lot of buy orders parked there. |

1) try not to get TOO excited. ANTONIO the TOOL's negative vibes are featured on PED's site. 2) the PROSPECTUS is up at the SEC. (you may wish to save this read until your nap time.) 940,094,000 shares issued and outstanding As of March 30, 2013From my EARLIER POSTThe numbers were: 938,649,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 12, 2013 946,035,000 Diluted shares of common stock outstanding as of March 30, 2013 I am still confused about these share numbers..... |

artman, the only number that matters is the diluted number at the end of each quarter. Use that to determine the amount of buyback.

I remember correctly, Apple had 947 million fully diluted shares outstanding before the original share creep buy back. So this corresponds quite well with the intended goal of the original share creep buy back. As yet Apple hasn't borrowed the money for the latest buy back, so I don't expect the fully diluted shares to drop until the money is borrowed. I doubt Apple will borrow the total amount in one fell swoop so after they file the documents on the amount borrowed (re: if they are required to by regulations) we should get a fairly good gauge of how many shares they will be able to buy back at any time. TIMES A WASTING APPLE, GET THE MONEY BUY THE STOCK, THE PRICE IS GOING UP! YIKES $437 AS I WRITE THIS |

As much as I like the plume from a Saturn V rocket, a stair-step rise in AAPL works just fine and at lower risk.
I'll say it again, if Apple is confident in its product pipeline (as I believe they are), Apple needs to front-load its repurchase, buying back between $400-$500 makes a hell of a lot more sense than $500+. Plus, earlier purchases saves more in cumulative dividend payouts.

The all-encompassing downtrend line is around 433 on the daily and 436 on the weekly. Need to break and hold as the first step toward putting in 385 as the bottom. Apple announces $90 B buy back, Russian billionaire buys $100 million AAPL, market is liking Apple's future, SHORTS ARE RUNNING FOR THE EXITS, this a great scenario for AAPL investors/traders (longs of course). And of course my last two trades (both since earnings) did very, VERY, well. If it can be crossed, it is. I look like a demented pretzel. |

here's a bit of money buying:
"Alisher Usmanov, the Russian billionaire who made a more than 10-fold return from his investment in Facebook Inc. (FB), said he recently spent about $100 million buying Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares in anticipation they will rise."
edit: greg beat me to it!

No, I stick to my plan. Granted I should have gotten when it was around $7.50 if I had remembered that $438 was next resistance before $441. Also in cash account only no margin so I can daytrade < $25,000, otherwise I would have gotten back in when it bounced back above 433.
I've gotten to the point where if I miss a move because of my plan then so be it. There's always the next day. There's always the next move. This is the mentality I've had to adopt due to being not on margin.

Sold the butterflies. They helped me run in place the past 1-2 months. Could've been "take a massive haircut on side bets" instead. So, helpful!
Like AAPL's action but will take a step back for now. Need to reassess.

I love these gimmicky dividends and buybacks Funny how some people were so dismissive of the idea but as soon as it comes to fruition they're in full support of it. Think for yourselves, guys. No company is perfect and Apple is not always the first to figure out the right path forward. Some of us actually have good ideas about what Apple should do, instead of just blindy praising whatever they are doing. One is a lot more difficult and insightful than the other. |

I'm noticing what looks like a change in sentiment in the news. Could this be the indicator we've been waiting for? Agree. Apple dealt with the cash...(check mark), dealt with the outlook for June (check mark), the Blackberry and Galaxy IV are not going to kill Apple (check mark), New Products and New product catagories (double check mark) are coming in the months ahead. WWDC on tap with likely surprises (check mark). P/E of 9 was beyond stupidly low (check mark), 2014 shaping up as a very strong year on every YOY metric. (check, check, check.). Smart investors such as Russian Billionairres buying loudly (check mark). Nice new Dividend available for holders soon......(check). Gee...maybe this isn't such a bad company after all.....  |
