Administrative note:
I will not be available to start the thread Monday though Wednesday of next week (April 6-8). Would someone please do the honors? Feel free to PM me for details.
It is a great opportunity -- where else but herding cats can you gain experience like this?

Don't forget - today is "Friday" so to speak. Markets closed tomorrow! AAPL green right now.

AAPL behaving better. Going to take 10-15 minutes to fill the pre market gap to red.
Progress!

Betting on $124 close based on open options interest.

Lots of consolidation near the short term range. I think apple is going to pop on Monday!

Approx 95% of all calls will expire worthless today. This is by far the most reliable pattern, that absent a catalyst, AAPL has been closing near the strike that torches most of the calls.

Excellent read, thanks for posting. Over and over, people who have actually handled the Apple Watch say the experience produces an "I WANT" impulse.

One comment about yesterday's discussion (that I hope is now ended). With only a few exceptions, most of the board were able to state their thoughts about the Indiana law and Tim Cook's condemnation of it without resorting to name calling those who had opposing views, like 12-year-olds on a playground. This is real progress. Cheers to them and to the longs.

The brilliance of Watch Edition pricing and China but not for the reasons you think. The author claims the Watch Edition is a trojan horse for the other models. I think his premise is a stretch, as Apple is very calculated but not to this degree. markdmill.com/2015/04/01/the-apple-watch-china-edition/

Oh by the way - one other thing - our brethren in Europe also keep their markets shut on Easter Monday. Why? Because they can, of course! Only the U.S. Will be open. Just FYI.

Gee, what a total coincidence, AAPL looking to close $125ish expiring 95% of all calls.
These fucking weeklies are speed bumps on a race track. Buying them is like putting square wheels on a Ferrari. The history of this is clear.

The point of the board is for us to make money. Options are the tail wagging the dog. Name another stock that has this kind of open interest and a low P/E, despite Apple's stellar fundamentals.
Weekly call options are expiring WORTHLESS. One doesn't have to understand all the mechanics of WHY; AAPL is struggling here and that's the WHAT. Is it coincidence that 90-95% of the call options, absent a catalyst, are being decimated? I think not.
Those playing the weeklies: Do us a solid and play the lotto or ponies.

Except that all options are eventually weeklies. Nice green day after we took out that 125 wonderwall. But it won't be the time of my life until we hit 143.

Any explanation of that sudden bump at the close? Assuming the EO's just sell options, didn't that work against them? I wonder if I will EVER understand this

I wonder if I will EVER understand this You have large quantities of people making individual investment decisions based upon their own criteria and point of view. A massive hugely complicated voting machine. People like to assign reasons to things that don't have a simple explanation. Anyone that claims to understand is delusional in my opinion.
