With the D Conf over, how will the market react to Tim's comments?

Not a clue.
Levels I'm looking at: 440, 434ish (50-day), 432ish (.382 retrace level)
AAPL could just go nowhere until WWDC. I just don't know.

Btw, in case anyone was curious, it appears Tim Cook uses a white iPhone (5, of course) and doesn't use a case. Of course his replacement iPhones are probably a little cheaper/easier to get than yours or mine might be.

Interesting development:
Here in New Zealand the largest Mobile network has just dropped the price of the no contract prepay iPhone 4 to $479.00 NZD.
After you remove the 15% sales tax and after doing the currency conversion, this equates to a prepay unsubsidised price of $335 USD.
$335 is far and away the cheapest I have seen an unsubsidised iPhone.

Apple is clearly range bound and coiling. Anyone thinking its gonna be a huge move might be disappointed. But the stock is acting more healthy and building some kind of a bottom it appears.
The caveat being I have no accurate prediction of how it behaves WHEN the market retraces in general.

The caveat being I have no accurate prediction of how it behaves WHEN the market retraces in general. Here's the thing, we've already been range bound for the last four months. Go back and look what happened at the end of 2008. That was five months of range bound action. It's a great comparison given the stock was also coming off a significant decline.

Yeah. With one caveat being that it performed arguably on par with the market as a whole as opposed to the most recent move performing counter to market trend.

This is the infamous AFB and you have "Not a clue" and you "just don't know"? Tossing in a little technical mumbo jumbo in there just to warrant a post! At least Sponge isn't afraid to stick his neck (or whatever) out. ;D ;D ;D I see a gap up on open today! I think this PM action is just bears sensing blood in the water after yesterdays weakness and their senses are misguided. JMHO and all those other qualifiers. Oh what the heck, just mark it as a bonafide PREDICTION!! Its not like I'm putting money on it or something.

Found a PM bottom slightly above the SMA50. Hopefully this bodes well for today.

having an anti-market day which i don't necessarily like, but i'll take it!
With TC's comments, such as "We believe very much in the element of surprise," and "Apple to release several Game Changers", seems that it's more than one thing.
I think at this point people need to see that first surprise/game changer, to start believing him again. But otherwise, I would imagine comments like those should bake in some extra premium into options prices to account for an unexpected pop.

It looks like another day of 435-450. I haven't seen the video of all things D but Apple hopefully has a lot coming with regard to iPhone, iPad and new Game Changers. My hope is coming out or releasing means in the next 6-9 months not 3 years from now. Apple has never gone this long without relseasing an update to any product. There better be some new product at WWDC not just software.

I am a happy sponge. Just as I suspected we dropped below 440 to scare the on the fence bulls. Surprised it happened in PM. Thank goodness I was sleeping. At 444 my margin call dissapears. Now patiently waiting for us to close above 450 by Friday. TC said much more then I expected last night.

I have bought as much as possible in the 440s since I think we are at the bottom. I also expect a WWDC bounce from here.
Once we get to 465+ I will cash out my options and not worried about margin calls until we get to $320

The complete D11 interview with Mr. Cook is HEREMS. Jackson from the EPA has been hired by Apple. Apple NOW needs an EPA heavyweight with some production coming to Texas this year.

S&P about to break 20Day heading for 50Day which is basically 1600 gap up.

Probably going to be wrong about taking off this week. I still think the chart is healthy, and I still think we're going to take off soon.
Continued mid-channel support + daily MACDh about to flip positive + continued bullish divergence on the weekly MACDh + very narrow BB = breakout move to the upside

Just watched the D!! interview. Thanx artman.
It is clear that all the questions were an effort get TC to divulge Apple's big future and product development. They wanted a grand vision to get everyone excited about.
I feel sorry for TC, because he wants to share and he cant. The competitive nature and complexity of bringing new products and services to market, make it critical that they are not announced before they are ready.
So he cant get us excited about anything, except saying to trust them based on their history of great services and products. WS obviously is not buying much of what Apple is selling and quite contrary is selling aapl.
TC wants us to just trust Apple. The best illustration he made was regarding competition. He referred to MS and Dell. Apple is making more money then both, but it took about 20 years to get there.
In mobile he could have used RIMM, Nokia, Palm, Motorola, LG, Sony, HTC as example of what happens to competition. We must be patient about the future and have faith Apple's philosophy will payoff in the end.
So in conclusion he can't go out there and be like Sponge by describing some of the incredible services and products they will make. He has to be closed lip and yet open enough to promote the company. It is a hard position to be in. He can't promote future services and products because in doing so, he will compromise the companies ability to deliver them when ready.

There is a pretty heft call wall @ $450 for this Friday, seems Fridays pain range is $440 or $445 to $450.
Would like AAPL to plow through $450 today or tomorrow.
