Just give me direction already. This is annoying. If we can get 539, I will go long. Conversely, if we lose 518, I will go short. I think there is good opportunity to make money on both trades even without precise timing. its funny- we move fast, and people want the volatility to end and just slow down. and now that its slow, we want the big move one way to make a play. oops by the end of writing this we just jumped up quick. 535.00 not bad There's a bit of a difference. I don't like AAPL when it's indecisive, but it can take its sweet time if it commits to moving up. This looks promising if we can get 539. C'mon baby. It should give back a little of the move to 537.36 (HOD) then move onward to get 539.

Interesting. Nibbling with calls for the first time in a little while. Stop limit @ 533ish or VXAPL 42

Oh right, market lost faith/trust guys.
Nope. It's called PRICE ACTION. Could all end in a minute of course, but price action is the North Star.
Why some technical traders seemed to inject non-technical thinking eludes me.

The battle for 530 rages on. With a little cushion for the bulls.

Regarding the Best Buy discounts, during the holidays last year the iPhone was widely discounted -- at Best Buy, Target, WalMart and others. AT&T even unofficially matched these discounts by offering compensating merchandise (e.g. cases). It's a good sign, not a bad sign. Retailers don't advertise things nobody wants... Agreed. IMHO Best Buy is just trying to give customers a reason to walk into the store. Given the number accessories they have, they probably figure they can make the difference there as few people just by an iPhone when they buy a phone and for a 5 you will need a new case coming from a 4. Also Best Buy needs the foot traffic.

It COULD be a 5S rumor point.
Did anyone incentivize the 4S this much this time of year?

I stopped in a Best Buy last week, and they had zero IPhone 5s. I mean none. The demo has been stolen and they could not even show me the phone. So discount?

And here comes the red again? Hope not....
Lets show some strength and get back to 540s please
41 days and 28 trading days until Apples biggest earnings report ever. That should be causing some big buying any minute now...

Consumers won't know there aren't any without either calling or going to the store. BB is hoping they go to the store, and leave having purchased something else if there aren't any iPhones available. Consumers are human. Humans are stupid. They like buying things that they didn't come for and don't need. Maybe it's a DVD season of Seinfeld. Maybe it's a video game. Maybe it's a pair of headphones. Getting you in the store is the hardest part. BB's CEO was on CNBC maybe six weeks ago saying the same thing. What is going to get people in the store better than a discount on the item that everyone wants.

Gave back just about half of the move from LOD to HOD. Need to get over the HOD here.

Doug Kass on CNBC. Flat on the name.
Thinks it is a trading stock for now.
Does not think tax selling caused the drop. no clear +ve catalyst and growth going fwd a concern.
Says Price to Sales high 1.8 versus hardware comps at .5
Terranova thinks weekly options making stock like a casino. Pitches buyback and faults management. (I agree 100%)
Kass caught flip flop by Wapner from 10 days ago... funny
any other points i missed?
