They now have more than 100 million 4G customers, adding 16.7 million in January (down from 18.8 million net additional 4G customers in December). China Mobile are reportedly aiming for 250 million 4G customers this year.

I believe yesterday's OI @ $120 was ~ 124,000, so there were some owners exercising. It will take a lot to dismantle the call walls.

That glass staircase is not to be sniffed at either, the glass doesn't touch the wall!

Vanguard is known for their passive approach with their total market and broad market funds. State Street's big products are SPDRs and SPY. BlackRock are the iShares people. They're increasing exposure to Apple only because Apple's market cap is growing relative to the market. I don't know about the others raising their stakes.
It's his description of a trading pattern, Mercel's intentional inaccuracy aside. Scott was also a music promoter in his younger days, so may partly explain the gimmicky name. Call it potential intraday momentum trading signal (either upside or downside) basically.

Thanks, Steve.

Red Poodle Siesta: When one squiggly line crosses another squiggly line one can see a "Red Poodle Siesta" pattern forming. This pattern indicates a drop in stock price and sentiment although just as often this means a rise in stock price and sentiment.
I'm no expert but at the end of the day I believe I can successfully predict what kind of Red Poodle Siesta event we had .... I'll check back around 1:05 Pacific with the answer.
Sigh. Mercel trolling board in absence of moderator.
Redler hasn't tweeted in days partly due to weather

The original WSJ story is behind a pay wall, but this summary by appleinsider should be enough to validate your suspicion that Michael Bromwich and his patron Judge Denise Cote are total scumbags.
Just as an FYI - over at EWT there are some really great folks. You need to cut the wheat from the chaff just like anywhere else but there is one outstanding person who has been so right. He believes we're still in wave (iii) of [5] but things seem very unclear to most folks there - nothing seems to fit the waves perfectly - nothing seems to behave the way it should. So the next fib target would be $131.38, which is the 1.764x, and if the price goes past that, then the 2.0x at $138.84. That is probably where wave (iii) will end, before a significant wave (iv) starts. Another feels the target is $135 from here ... and he has also been spot on as well.
It seems to me we are probably headed to the mid 130's before any reassessment is done. What say you Mace?
phoebear,
Those guys at EWT are good. Above $129.31 means can go much higher before a multi-week correction.
Did anyone happen to listen to the FOSL conference call? FOSL is down huge today.
From "thestreet.com"
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Apple (AAPL - Get Report) Watch isn't scheduled to go on sale until April, but already it's cutting into the traditional watch industry's business.
On Tuesday night's earnings call, designer-watch maker Fossil's (FOSL - Get Report) CFO Dennis Secor said that newcomers (read: Apple) are hurting the company's business by causing "near-term disruption":
"We see opportunities in developing new categories like wearable tech and growing existing categories, such as branded jewelry and leather. These opportunities do not come without challenges. While notable newcomers can help grow the market by bringing new customers into the category, they might also cause some near-term disruption. [emphasis added] Managing the natural ebbs and flows, the brand lifecycle can also prove challenging. However, our portfolio of diversified brands can help navigate these challenges."
Shares of Fossil were plunging more than 14% on Wednesday after the company missed fourth-quarter estimates and 2015 earnings estimates came in much lower than expected. Fossil said it expects to earn between $5.45 and $6.05 a share, vs. the $7.49 per share analysts were expecting.
Analysts on Wall Street are exceptionally positive on the prospects of the Apple Watch, with some saying it could sell nearly 20 million units its first year of production. Last week, BMO Capital Markets projected sales of 19 million units of Apple's wearable by the end of the year.
"We remain bullish on the Apple Watch, while we think investors remain skeptical," BMO analyst Keith Bachman wrote in a research note. Of the 19 million, he expected more than 10 million to be sold in the final three months of the year.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the initial first-quarter production run for the Apple Watch would be between five and six million units.
Half of the production would be of the entry-level Apple Watch Sport model, which Apple has said will cost $349. One-third of production would be of the mid-tier version, while the rest would be of the higher-end version, the Apple Watch Edition, which some, including noted Apple watcher, John Gruber, have said could cost as much as $5,000 and perhaps more.
FOSL down over 17%
