Blodget thinks the Car is a bad idea, so I'm going to need to take another look at my position on it. Remember it's Blogdet so when he writes that he think's it is bad idea, you can bet that he really thinks the opposite. Assuming he thinks. I am not sure about the cognitive powers of slime molds

I'm looking at the 2016 leaps but I also play short term calls - meaning 3 months or so out. So the "pullback" (downside number) keeps creeping up - is getting higher. Where do you fellas see potential downside if/when that comes at some point? Let's assume today's numbers. assuming todays numbers are the highs? confluence of trading activity at 120 and that lines up with the .382 fib from the double bottom low to friday's highs. my current stop is last week's low circa 127.

See my chart from Thurs., if we make $135, 135-105=30 /2 = 15, 50% retace =120. Who knows, the noise is so positive right now. Amazing how all we heard for 3 years was Samsung this and that, nary a peep now. Sammy has pulled back on Advertising big time (except for tonight's Oscars, big bucks spent there). Notice the carrier displays, Apple was often relegated to the back of the store with often missing iPhones. Lately that seems to have changed, at least in my local mall stores. Apple upfront, with phones actually displayed.

The economic argument isn't that convincing. Apple's primary motivation with new products is not to make money. That's what Samsung gets you. Hmm. You're starting to sound like Tim Cook, Mav. Yeah yeah, Apple wants to make amazing products to enrich lives, yada yada yada. But if they don't have huge margins and sell like hotcakes, they'll go the way of the Dodo bird and the Mac Cube. Gotta enrich millions of lives with 40% margins. False dichotomy is false. I want Apple to enrich my life and my brokerage account with phat blingy revs & EPS. And I'm not seeing it with a car. If course, I'm not seeing Tim's briefings on a car's numbers either. Let's get Maps right before we do Jetsons, huh? Ahem. I did also say: Maybe I'm just semantically challenged. The BEST news of all is, we have YEARS...or an eternity...to bicker over the merits of Apple Car. As I've said before, I care way, way more about iPhone 6 momentum, the iPhone 6S (which I will very likely upgrade to because 1GB of RAM isn't cutting it), Apple Watch, and any other new product category actually shipping in 2015. And maybe iPad getting unit sales back on track.

I figure WS can give Apple 5 years to spin the "sale growth narrative"with Apple Car; After all, WS has spotted Amazon 20 years for its pipe dream to become profitable.

I think we pop tomorrow. Weekly option wall at 130 is tiny and the Barrons piece is getting a lot of weekend reading. The apple transporter is the lure of the month....the stock is cheap... I wonder how Lunar New Year is playing out. I bought Shu Qi a couple of Beats headphones so she can drown out Mercel's whining.

Call me old school. Just ordered my 27" iMac with 5K retina display with lots of upgrades to help drive margins. Any automobile orders will have to wait 5 yrs.

I believe Mace said recently that correction would be to $115. Don't want to put numbers in another members mouth though. (That sounded ... wrong ) I think we might have a different timeframe... not referring to multi-day/week, more refer to multi-month. Me, have GTC BTO calls(LEAPS $120/$190) at equivalent price of $115-$120. I believe there would be eventually a 1-2 months pull back that bring AAPL to close the earning gap. If go lower, buy back short calls (LEAPS 17).
