Wow, I hadn't looked @ AAPL since early this morning, what the hell happened, did Apple announce transporters, cure all known diseases or something?

Some outfit 'Street Insider' is passing a rumor that AAPL is about to be added to the dow 30. www.streetinsider.com/Insiders+Blog/Rumor+Apple+%28AAPL%29+May+Finally+Get+Added+to+Dow+30/10300580.htmlRumor Apple (AAPL) May Finally Get Added to Dow 30 There is chatter Monday that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) may finally get added to the venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average. The addition to the popular average is long overdue. The reason it was left out in the past was because the Dow is a price-weighted index. Apple's pre-split price of over $700 per share essentially made it impossible to add. However, if Apple were added today, at around $132 per share, it would be the 6th priciest stock in the Dow 30, behind Visa (NYSE: V) (which is implementing a stock split), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), 3M (NYSE: MMM), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Boeing (NYSE: BA). If Apple were in fact added to the Dow, it may replace United Technologies (NYSE: UTX), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), or American Express (NYSE: AXP). The last big shake-up of the Dow was in September of 2013, when Goldman Sachs, Visa and Nike (NYSE: NKE) were added, replacing Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Alcoa (NYSE: AA) and HP (NYSE: HPQ). Notably, Apple's market cap at $770 billion is more than double the next largest Dow component - Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), which is at $375 billion. Shares of Apple traded at a new high of $132.31 today, up over 2%.

FWIW it's not generally bullish when you get added to the DJI and usually really bullish when you get tossed off the Dow.

The CR will have battery cells in every single part of the structure. No it won't. Way too many issues: 1. Battery protection/safety. You can't just stick cells all over the place without protection provisions. 2. Connecting these things together and the associated engineering complexity. All of that power needs to be centralized. 3. Weight distribution 4. Modern cars don't have wasted hollow places waiting for batteries anyway. And neither would one created from scratch.

I'm being completely distracted by Ken Griffith's divorce settlement. His wife needs over $6k per month for stationery. Hello? Email? It must be trimmed in gold. It's unreal.

For my option guys a little reminder to trim into strength as we get into very stretched territory I agree. Pruned all morning long. Still delta positive, but now only about 20% vs. pre earnings 105-110 range. Currently, much higher % shares vs. LEAPS spreads and no naked calls. Very hesitant to open any new long positions at/near the top of the rising channel. Felt like the news cycle was overly pessimistic before earnings and the news seems to have gotten suspiciously optimistic now. I will be very surprised if there is not some sort of "gate" associated with the Watch launch.

I disagree with everything sounding optimistic. I can't find very many if ANY people that seriously think the watch will be a success. And with most people Pay still has the jury out on it ...it's a wait and see. Many hedge funds have trimmed or gotten out of their position. Now people like Dan Nathan who has been wrong on AAPL since the day he was spawned from Satan is pounding the table that short interest is low on the stock. If you look on "smart traders" sites like EWT - they aren't suggesting buying or selling right in here but they sure as hell are NOT suggesting anyone jump in and short the thing or you could easily wipe out!

If you look on "smart traders" sites like EWT - they aren't suggesting buying or selling right in here but they sure as hell are NOT suggesting anyone jump in and short the thing or you could easily wipe out! On the non-pro, non-hedge fund front, my wife's 80-year-old aunt upped her investment in AAPL this morning by picking up an additional 250 shares at $131.40. This brings her total AAPL holdings, dating from 04/18/12, to 3260 shares, now worth $400,313.04. Her overall gain is 67.1%. Yet more evidence, as if it were needed, that this buy-and-hold stuff really pays off_especially when the stock being held is AAPL. Note: I should mention that her intention during the last week or so of January was to buy 200 shares of AAPL but she asked me to hold off buying it for her when it was at $112 because she was going to "wait until it dropped to $109." So her hope that it would drop to $109 cost her an additional $19/share when she actually bought.

We are fortunate (lucky) to have a really good AAPL cost and tax basis, JD. But probably not quite as good as yours.

PED updated price targets. HALF are underwater, so we should see some upgrades. Don't hold your breath for Maynard Dum of Wells Fargo -- that guy should be broomed... fortune.com/author/philip-elmer-dewitt/

Liquid Metal up 4 cents or 26% today.... ?? Your right. I own it and didn't even notice LOL. It's been dead money for years waiting on Apple to do something significant with it. Edit: One thing I considered r.e. the iCar. Liquidmetal formed body panels. Intriguing. I own 100,000 shares... house money though it shows loss because purchase price show is 17 cents... wade in and out many times. That is the last price that I don't trading... hoping for it to hit $1 eventually. Not in trading account, in speculative (IOW expect to lose them all) account.
