A little off topic I guess but I just cant believe the contrast between this board and the yahoo board. It has gotten to the point where I think im even done looking at that board its just so awful. My point is that this board is a very very good board. The best so far that I have seen. Did you take our advice last week and go for a walk, polish the car, etc? Hope so.

This could be aapl's biggest week of the year. Just an early prediction. Of course this will require a good guidance and earnings report coupled with a surprise at tomorrow's event. But I say we hit top of BB band in the 700 zone. 90 dollars 1 week haha Just my guess haha If we do hit or get close to 700 this week would that be a good time to take a bit off the table? Absolutely. Take it all off, and put it in a good utility stock.

Holy carp ... a huge slug of Jan '14 800 calls and Jan '14 1000 calls just traded today! Looks like an 800-1000 vertical spread that cost about $30.85 each, and what looks like a total of almost $10 MILLION for the entire trade. Wow, that's a big bet!!! I went for the Jan 14 750's, straight up, after dumping my margined stock. I spent some time Sunday working up my determination to make the move. I figure that we are in for a big rise in the next half year and I could wait it out and take the suffering if we visited 580. I pulled the trigger around 627 when it seemed the reversal had legs. The volatility drop will kill me after earnings but I think we could get a big move up soon. I will create a spread when we get to $750, if that happens. On a technical note, we just hit the middle of the 650 -610 swing at 635 and close to the finish on Oct 15 before that rise to 650. So, naturally, standing on a pivot point near the trend line from the May low. IF we get a wave up (instead of the dang drops that we been getting) it will rise into the low 670's IMHO. Cheers to the longs!

Watching Redler's Daily Recap live right now. He used the term breakout, so good enough for me. As for today's awesome green candle: It engulfed the downward move but it didn't engulf AAPL's Friday close. OTOH: Higher high. Lower low. "Laz" is doing it today. Redler must be in his spin class. My mistake. Laz did the mid-day.

My point is that this board is a very very good board. The best so far that I have seen. I used to look at the Yahoo and Google boards some, but a couple years ago, I found this one. Much less spam and crap here. There as a guy on the google boards a few years ago, JC something I believe, he was pretty good and sincere. He just left all of a sudden. Congrats to the longs, hope you're holding Nate!

Let's not get too hyped up yet. While 700 is possible (edit- this week), I wouldn't call it probable yet. Even if things go well in both of Apple's events this week, 700 is a bit of a climb. So all I knew is I have 2 more days of sunny & 60s for getting firewood laid in before things change. Thanks to you I now know where it's coming from ;-) Yep, I didn't have time to get all the firewood into the shed yet. This is only a minor storm and should melt away by the weekend, and then I'll try to get a few more cords put away properly.

Nate - I am buy dip hold long trader as a get more cash through my job. So for me I won't be selling for a while. But it depends on your style of trading. I think it will depend how strong aapl beats. I think key indicators to watch are PE ratio, MACD, RSI, moving averages and bollinger bands. Those are the main key inidcators I use when decide to purchase shares.

700 this week has no chance without a blowout earnings and strong guidance. But AAPL can prove me wrong if it wants to.

Great day for the longs! But like any day, stay sharp. When I think I might have regrets about the timing of upside trades, I paraphrase Ensign: "I don't need all the profits, just less of the losses."

Why do guys like Redler and company even matter this week? Earnings and results will dominate performance of the stock.

Lstream - You're right. They kinda don't. iPad mini and earnings are the biggest sentiment events we'll have for the rest of the year, most likely.

Ya, and by this time tomorrow, the web will be full of stories trashing the new iPad. No matter what is announced. Unless of course it cures every possible disease the owner could possibly get in their lifetimes. That may temper the negativity somewhat at least.

Unless of course it cures every possible disease the owner could possibly get in their lifetimes. That may temper the negativity somewhat at least. That's partly why I'm currently in probably less than half of what I was trading as of market open today. iPad mini skepticism is through the ceiling, and even though it never seems to matter longer term, it does affect near-term trading.

How do we get the heat map and what does it derive from. tia For me, The heat map is on TOS under the tab, marketwatch. As I understand: The heat map shows the actual REAL time price action. Green=+ and Red=- for a group of stocks. The greener the green, the stock is higher.

Good one Ensign. AAPL still powering higher! I wonder what this tape must feel like for bears today. Probably exactly how most of us felt Friday.

Actually, most of the bears don't have any money on the line. They just like to yell and scream that Apple is doomed. They just shrug off days like this and wait for the next red day to continue running their mouth.

Today is one of those days when I was almost certain $AAPL would go up. But I am already in so much, I just couldn't take the leap. Another example of trade like a Vulcan, no emotions. Cheers to the longs. Death to the FUDsters.
