The cries from the analysts last week about iPhone X sales being even lower have rightfully been ignored. It was nice to see that because this story gets repeated every quarter.
The Facebook thing has put a dent in the flow. AAPL is at 174.24 (-1.00). Most of tech is flat or little below red. Now either a solid run in the Dow or some exciting news from Apple can get the momentum back on for AAPL.

With all the potential problems ahead, FB is up 3% yet AAPL is underperforming the NASDAQ, S&P and Dow. Very frustrating.

Well the good news is AAPL filled a few of those pesky gaps.

If the 50MA fails, almost a sure thing that the gap at $167.50 gets closed.

Well the good news is AAPL filled a few of those pesky gaps. Geez, I go outside to move snow, ice, and firewood for a couple hours, and AAPL goes all to heck. Not too bad on a three year chart stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AAPL&p=D&yr=3&mn=0&dy=0&id=p10331228368I was thinking if AAPL bottomed at $10 off the top (~$173.5) it might be good to pick up some spreads that were 6+ months out. Now I'm going to have to actually look at them. Roughly ATM for a 100% return potential is around what I would be gunning for, possibly split between two expirations as a bit of insurance against a short to medium term drop. Oh AAPL, thanks for keeping things interesting. But feel free to test and push the top a bit anytime now...for some variety.

I agree. And maybe they can get Blood Sugar by using the correct watch band.

so how come we got smashed today?? ...then you get FB, who admit they're not very good at looking after our data and they are on the up? Perhaps WS know how locked in their users are. For my mind the biggest mistake you can make with FB is using your FB account to log in to other services.... makes it pretty sticky then. In FB's defence that have whittled their P/E down to something approaching rational unlike AMZN i'm long, coming up 18 years, but it still sucks when APPL heads south for no good reason except, we can only but hope a little buy back is happening WTF rant over...

Even better would be if they went the route of Amazon/Berkshire/whomever and found a way to improve health insurance. Paying $1400/month for a healthy family of 5 and still having a 15k deductible and nearly no benefits until that is hit....that just seems wrong to me. To me, especially with the average health of a US citizen, it seems like one key thing to lowering overall medical costs as a function of GDP is to get people to become healthier. And what better way than to incentivize it through lower health insurance premiums. Back 20 years ago, Motorola did that, letting you get into their lowest cost plan only if you did a mini test once a year, where they took your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and gave you some info on getting healthy. So in that case, you didn't actually have to be healthy, but had to let them tell you how you could improve. IGT started something like that just before I left. A 10 or 20% decrease in premiums, if you got 20 points in a year by going to certain classes or having tests. In general, while being healthy is good, the other thing is finding things early. The Apple Watch might help with finding things early, but it could also be tied in with exercising at least so many times per week. With heart rate and location, it might even consider spending an hour moving a third of a cord of wood to the doorstep as exercise, and might not count the doctor that attaches the fitbit or pedometer to the dog on the days that she didn't get in enough steps (on a healthcare system that gives discounts for getting in your steps). I'd love to see Apple make some progress here.
