Load up in May and go away?

The one thing - other than liquidity - to be careful with as well today is Yellen's speech on the U.S. Economy at the Chamber of Commerce at 1:00 p.m. Any slicing and dicing of her words plus no liquidity will either cause a dump to or a "to the moon Alice" potential action with any lunatic left manning the desk during the final market hours heading into the holiday weekend. Hmmm...maybe we can send Bluto and D-Day to steal the speech?!

AAPL on the Frankfurt market is up.
Let's see if the US follows suit.

The software update seems to have messed up the heart rate monitoring on the Watch. Instead of recording data every ten minutes it's now completely random...

The software update seems to have messed up the heart rate monitoring on the Watch. Instead of recording data every ten minutes it's now completely random... When I look at my "health" app on iPhone, the heart rate shows one data point per hour. My guess is some engineer decided a single hourly reading was valuable enough, thereby cutting 6 hourly hits on the battery back to 1. During a workout things seem to be the same, "full-on mode." My stand activity gripe from last week has been addressed post-update.

As postulated, AAPL doing a bit of stealth move today. If we can get past Yellen (the Commodore always reminds me that things will be fine if you can just get past the yellin') we might have a nice late day machine driven crawl up. One can hope! And for all you Big Data fans, here is some drill down on Apple Watch likely orders.... www.macrumors.com/2015/05/22/apple-watch-orders/I know of several people who WILL buy when it is in the stores and they can both try on, decide and walk out with the product...so June-September could be a nice second wave.

The fib level of no return is generally considered to be .782
That level rests at 132.16 which AAPL has powered over
That represents our post earnings high decline from 134.56 down to 123.35
Would nominally expect a retest of that high.
Bigger picture that would be a triple top. Triple tops generally don't hold.
I am hopeful we hold that fib and continue marching toward a 145ish target I am looking for.

Spiking on Yellen announcement (via CNBC): "rate hike appropriate later this year if economy improves."

I am extremely hesitant to post anything CNBC (I will never directly link to Business Trollsider), but this quote from yesterday amused me: Lots of calls @ 130-133...

Hi Mav - nice to see you pop in. Was just thinking about you and wondering why you hadn't dropped by in so long. Anything new? Anything shaking out there? This has just been the, I dunno, trudgi-est AAPL trade I can recall in a long time. And after 10.5k posts, you all could use a break from me the same way I guess I take a break from the board now and then? Otherwise, nope, not a whole ton new. It's easier for me to be active on Twitter and so I am.

As pointed out by phoebe's EW friend, $134+ may be it.

Nice close, even if not above 133.
On my iPhone, of the 15 stocks and indexes I have listed, only AAPL was positive today.
I broke down and bought a good sized chunk of chevron today at $104.99. They've been on my radar for years, and while I don't expect them to outperform Apple, I think they'll do better than XOM on just about anything other than making huge acquisitions in this oil downturn. And with their dividend being 2.5% more than my borrowing cost, it makes sense. 6% up from the previous low, but like AAPL those lows are getting higher.
Still no huge OI or volume on calls or puts in the next 3 weeks, though June monthlies (on the 19th) have some very large numbers. 200k on 135, with ~75k on 130 and 140 on the call side. 114k on 135 puts, with 38k and 26k at 130 and 140. Unless things change dramatically, it seems likely to give some pull there towards 135 in 4 weeks. Though a lot can change before then.
Looks like there's possibly some room to run. I wouldn't mind AAPL taking a look at the 140 range, even if it's just an initial touch and it gets pulled back to 135. And it's nice to see a good couple of up days, on almost average volume today, especially when others are lagging.

It as in the inflection point? Bearish divergence with RSI/MACD/Stochastic in daily and weekly chart. The push up seems difficulty.

Did you think the floor would fall through on 122/125 or whatever the past 2 months or so?

Bad broad market can lead to $100... even TC put can't stop it because under heavy margin selling, index shorting, ... boy, not wise to stand in the way... Otherwise, don't expect below $120, and expect painfully appreciating, got such phrase?
