Well, looks like I backed the truck up just a bit early last week, but I am confident that the difference will seem tiny come April.

Well, we're pretty close to the lower Bollinger Band on the daily chart, and at least RSI supports a relief rally. Pretty close, we punched a hole in it. I have it at 632.62.

Well, I couldn't take it anymore. These prices are so ridiculous I NEEDED to buy something. Problem is, I've had no cash for months. So, I sold 50 common so I could snatch up 3 Jan '15 740's. I've never owned something that far out; seems like a safeish way to try it out.

Would love to buy some naked calls here, but reluctant to do so due to we are on the higher range on AAPL VIX.
Maybe some spreads here or leg in to some.

If it's any consolation, we're topping the Buying on Weakness list.

Very, VERY heavy volume. I think the capitulation event is _beginning_ at least.
But will keep watching around the SMA-100 right now.

Has anyone talked about Mac updates lately? IF we have an iPad mini invite this week, do you think we'll see new iMacs and Mac minis at the same event? Those are so overdue now, it's almost like they've been discontinued. If not updated soon, then when?
Only problem I see is so many products in a really short period. Wearing that consumer dollar thin.

Looking at spreading out risk to APR13 750/700s, using proceeds from core JAN13 700/680s. Less risk, gives it three more months to work. End result would be slightly higher return than original, but much more safety margin.
Also did this crazy thing:
SOLD -100 VERTICAL AAPL 100 OCT 12 670/660 PUT @7.2955
We'll see how that bet goes. I haven't done crazy bets like that lately, but today it feels like there's a sense of "WTF" all over the place. This can't last TOO long... we have the iPad Mini + earnings around the corner. Right? Right?!?

If it's any consolation, we're topping the Buying on Weakness list. Buying on weakness and selling on strength lists are meaningless. Only thing that matters is if the stock goes up or down.

Hey guys, it's amazing to me how this community has transitioned so seamlessly over here. Thanks to the guys who did all the hard work to make it so easy for us! I'm buying the dip - just a couple of JAN15 900s to add to my JAN14 900s. I' m mainly in common and been buying calls since the lows earlier in the year. Buying plenty of time.... ;D

iPad, keeping an eye on SMA-100. No moves yet. This one too: AAPL TWO-DAY CHART: Intraday, 1-HOUR: "Should" bounce to at least 645-ish.

Buying calls is tricky. VXAPL is almost 40 like I checked.

I don't buy straight up calls unless three conditions apply: 1. AAPL is undervalued (check), 2. AAPL has pulled back at least 10% from its ATH (getting close), and 3. AAPL IV is low (not even close). Without 3, I'll stick to bull put spreads.

We're in a downtrend, so: oversold counter-trend bounce until proven otherwise.
