The possibilities are insane Like...reducing the outstanding share count to 700 million through a buy back. Like...increasing the annual dividend to $50+ a share. I like dividends better than share buybacks. Give me the money. OTOH, Apple has enough cash to do both. A regular program designed to reduce the float over a decade or so would be welcome, as long as dividend growth stayed in the double digit range over that time - preferably closer to a 20% growth rate than a 10% rate. Why doesn't Apple offer a dividend reinvestment plan? As a long I want capital growth not an income stream. This is another(optional) way to return value to shareholders.

It looks like he is selling a service: Sounds like "TA for Dummies." Nothing on that list you can't get from good, old-fashioned TA.

_Still_ can't bring myself to type shorthand for technicals... ;D (Damn you, Chas and other guilty parties! )

Is fear/greed his own technology or bloom berg?? bloombergs. I just google searched it and there's another blog explaining it a bit, and says how it was developed by bloomberg. It gives some info on how it is calculated here with a basic explanation, but does not give the exact formula. blog.thelordoftrading.com/2010/08/fear-and-greed-indicator-new-weapon-in.htmledit: and it seems there are others who have re-engineered the indicator, at least attempting to replicate it. A lot of this stuff seems over my head a bit just looking at it now, and seems like it requires certain programs to run the code, but I'll dig around and look if there's something easier for the public, such as an excel output. i wonder if isaac newton is just pushing it cause it came out on top for 2012 and he's looking to make a pretty penny off of it. i'd be interested to see how this indicator performed in other years, or for other equities this year.

Look at any of my annotated charts in the technicals threads under Daily or Weekly. There, get your Greed/Fear analysis for free. Sheesh. Everyone wants a magic pill. If there's anything to freakin know that can be known, it's in the technicals. Not rocket science. Or tea leaves.

Looks similar to the Chaiken money flow.

Can't be long before the ratings agencies start downgrading the US some more. That'll burst the "aren't we clever, we paid the minimum on the national credit card" rally. Eventually. But first, the pendulum's swinging in the rose-tinted glasses direction. Don't fight it. When the car talk starts, that's your short signal.

The US rating was affirmed today so that will wait until March.

We are mimicking the broader market, take a look at the daily charts of each. Not a bad thing. Not too long ago the only thing we mimicked was Titanic :-) LOL!! And SO TRUE!! ....Scott Redler's technical info seems a lot more worthwhile... IMHO, #1 trading coach, hands down. Smart, down-to-earth, humble, motivating, funny. Is it really a Gap if you're just retracing old territory? Yes.

Looked a little like an "Aroon Oscillator" to me, but WHAT DO I KNOW?I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY BANK CHEQUE FROM MY EMAIL PALS IN NIGERIA!

With my miscalculation of Jan 13s BCSs 610/620s and Apr 13 BCSs 685/700 & 690/700s, I'd prefer an GOING UP EXPRESS ELEVATOR right about now. My humble WAG: your APR'13s will be just fine.

@asymco: Apple makes more than twice as much profit from the iPhone in a single quarter as the entire TV industry is estimated to make in a year

Going along with Dediu's built-in data - which I'll assume to be correct - Apple television/whatever as halo product, but with "niche" margins and levels of profit (granted, it'd probably be levels other TV makers would [*unmentionable things*] for).

Thank you for the encouragement . If they turn green I will begin exiting them hopefully in stages before expiration.
