Nice to see AAPL outperforming the averages today. Less than two weeks until earnings. What are people doing in advance of 5/2/17? I'm in stock and LEAPS, so I'm staying put until after the announcement. I'm cautiously optimistic that we see a good report and a good market reaction, but I'm playing this one more conservatively than last quarter and not getting into any short term options.

I'm planning on doing nothing .... holding long term as always.
I've searched the news feeds and can't really find anything that I would consider market moving for AAPL this morning .... what did I miss?
Cheers to the longs.

After writing my tax check - today's move is giving me some comfort...but then again it is all how we close. I feel your pain. Had to sell some AAPL last year to fund the construction of our new house (temporarily , purchased most of the shares again after selling our other house) .... almost had a heart attack when settling up at the accountant's office ..... I can't believe how much we owed the feds and state .... more than I make at my job in 2 years, then again I play guitar for a living so it's not really that much On the other hand ..... considering how much we made in profit selling those shares I consider myself blessed to be in a position of having to pay the taxes . In any case, I think AAPL will take good care of my account over the next few years ! Cheers to the longs ...

Showed some weakness at close by dropping 40 cents in the last minute. But still, a good green day.
Monthly OpEx tomorrow.

I use Car Play every day. I think its great for phone calls, and texts. Maps is okay, my daughter says Google Maps is better but I can't use it with Car Play so I don't know. Siri is terrible, maybe its me I don't know, but I can't really give it voice commands for directions. Does not understand me, very frustrating. I use Car Play for music the most. I like being able to play my iTunes playlists but its really terrible implementation. Terrible. It might work ok if there are a few playlists but I have a lot and I find it impossible to scroll while driving. Even if I am the passenger it's terrible. I wind up going to a playlist that I don't want. Maybe its the touch screen on my Accord, I don't know. Siri sometimes works, but I have different playlists for the same bands and musicians and Siri has a very hard time coming up with the list that I want

I got the sense the market was moving on the glimmer of hope that tax reform might happen with or without Trumpcare. Wall Street doesn't give a hoot about the health care debacle as long as the tax package happens. As the political winds shift on this issue, so will the market.

Mnuchin sure did change his tone over the past 48 hours. This market wants to continue higher. Stay put.
