Will we hold 420? And what does Friday's 20k volume in 500 June calls and puts mean?

Holding 420? Well, it's not there TO hold just yet. Now, 420 IS a good level to watch, and close to the SMA-20 daily as a bonus. I'll just measure as I go. The closer to 470 AAPL gets, the happier I'll be.  |

This makes me wonder what the value of Apple would be if it were broke into the following parts: OS (iOS and OSX) Computers (desktop and laptop) Retail stores IPod IPhone IPad ITunes Store There are many comparable firms in each category to do comparison valuations with. But keep in mind that none of those comparables are generating the gross margins Apple does, is expanding market share, or has the cash on hand as does Apple. Then there is Apple's patent/IP portfolio, brand and customer satisfaction/loyalty rankings. |

Gregg, now remember, all gaps are not Gap N' Go. Watch to see if it's closed/faded in first 90 minutes.

Gregg:  Rule of thumb: if it's NOT faded in first 90 minutes, then expect continuation. |

Ordinarily I would say its to early, but I'm sensing change in AAPL's post earnings trading pattern. If PM holds through the Close today, this will be the first time in 3 quarterly reports that AAPL has not been lower on Monday, than it was on Friday.

I'm too jaded. Reminds me too much of the days right after OCT'12 earnings...and my false sense of relief.

Gold: oversold bounce (and gap fill) until proven otherwise. |

Expect an upgrade by GS?
Apple mandates banks for debt investor meetings -source (Thomson Reuters)
By Josie Cox
LONDON, April 29 (IFR) - Apple Inc, rated Aa1/AA+, has mandated Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs to organise a series of meetings with bond investors which could result in a capital markets transaction, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The source said that the meetings would be held during the course of Monday, but declined to say what currency a potential bond issue would be in.
Last week, IFR reported that Apple could be eyeing the bond market as it seeks to fund its USD100bn capital reward for shareholders unveiled last Tuesday.
Although the company has USD145bn of cash, only USD45bn is readily available.

I had to post this. It's an update to the previous posting. Notice MSFT credit rating. What a typo.
UPDATE 1-Apple mandates banks for debt investor meetings -source (Thomson Reuters)
By Josie Cox
LONDON, April 29 (IFR) - Apple has tapped Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs to lead meetings with bond investors, a source said on Monday, as the US computer giant mulls its first-ever sale of debt.
The only major technology company without a penny of debt on its books, Apple said last week it would consider coming to the capital markets to help fund a $100 billion capital reward programme for shareholders.
An Apple bond offer would surely be one of the most-sought after deals of the year, and with no debt outstanding, it is believed the company could raise funds at a cheaper rate than Tripe A rated Microsoft.
Apple was unavailable for comment. The source familiar with the situation said phone calls with investors will begin on Monday.

It's early, but this looks good to me. Damn the torpedoes, AAPL straight ahead (and up).

holy crap +8.5 in 54 minutes, AAPL hasn't traded with this strength in months We gained 27 points in 17 minutes Wednesday morning. These surges upward have happened too many times to count since September. They're all meaningless until they happen above the downtrend. |

These surges upward have happened too many times to count since September. They're all meaningless until they happen above the downtrend. That's too much tail wagging the dog. Catalysts ($60B repurchase gun) trump technicals. But I'm in favor of jumping above the appropriate lines. ;D |

I wouldn't say MEANINGLESS doc. I mean you have to go up to get above the downtrend right?

Just pointing out that what was said wasn't true.
We're very close to the "get excited" range. Much like our move to 469, I would suggest tempering your excitement until we break out and hold on a retest. As you've seen, things can turn south very quickly.

Agreed doc. I was baited into the sucker rally up to 590. I'll wait to buy, but my positions are looking a little bit better.
