I was just about to post the same thing! Check out the entirety of the highlights of googles event today: www.theverge.com/2013/7/24/4553020/google-chromecast-nexus-7-event-everything-you-need-to-know1. Nexus 7 refresh - definitely the best thing google released today, and presuming it has decent battery life (unlike the previous model) it looks like some nice hardware, with the critical flaw being that there is a lack of a decent selection of android tablet apps. However its very nice high resolution screen will make it a very nice e reader - better than the iPad mini, but the biggest victim is likely to be Amazons kindle fire. 2. Chromecast. Essentially a HDMI out cable, without the cable. Without a device streaming to it, its literally useless. Imagine the apple TV without its own built-in interface, apps & remote. Its basically just a Airplay receiver for the chrome browser. 3. Android 4.3. A tiny update, with barely any new additions. (Can you imagine if Apple did this for an iOS update - the horror and outrage!) 4.Google Play Games App. WHAT? Android didn't already have a clone of Apples 3 year old game center app? Welcome to 2010 everyone! Hey, isn't Android 4 close to 2 years old? It's be like Apple releasing iOS 5.3 or something, that is if Apple hadn't already done a full iOS update last October... Looking forward to Android 5 Suspicipusly Similar Sense of Depth and Vitality though! Nexus 7 Take 2 - we'll see about battery life. Meanwhile, Nexus 7 didn't ship with a 960x540 screen last I checked. Used to be 1200x800. Ah, the joys of fragmentation. Funny how Google stopped at 1080p too. I've seen that somewhere before...

Hmm. Now wondering if I should shorted the SPY or something end of day yesterday. We'll see if any opportunities pop up intraday.

I wouldn't mind a little sideways digestion the rest of the week. Then the rocket ship can resume on Monday.

I'm not calling the bottom yet, but here's why I'm now 90/10 that it is in... AAPL Weekly Look at the trendline containing all of the action from 705 to 385 (our presumed bottom). We rejected re-entering that zone in May. We again rejected it in June, using the 200 week SMA as additional support. We are about 8 points away from testing the upper trendline of the action since January earnings. The trendline connecting 514 (pre-Jan earnings) and 465 (May top) broke yesterday for the first time. We are above all of the major moving averages except the 50 and 100, which are about to have a bearish cross. However, this is an extremely lagging indicator (go look back at 2008-2009). Rangebound pattern falls within the next two weeks. I'm going to start getting aggressive above 465 and very aggressive once we get into that gap from 484 to 514.

This gap reminds me too much of the gap in January 2012 and we all know how it went with that gap. I still can't believe the 908Mil share count. The buyback is awesome. Keep buying Apple!!

Can someone explain to me what happens to the shares that Apple buys back? I thought they were taken off the market permanently but someone the other day said something different that confused me.

I believe they are indeed "Retired". The only NEW shares being issued by Apple will be for employee compensation.

I believe they are indeed "Retired". The only NEW shares being issued by Apple will be for employee compensation. Yesterday I speculated that these shares could be used (after the drop from 705 to 385 is long forgotten ~ 2-3 years?) for employee compensation and/or acquisitions.

2. Chromecast. Essentially a HDMI out cable, without the cable. Without a device streaming to it, its literally useless. Imagine the apple TV without its own built-in interface, apps & remote. Its basically just a Airplay receiver for the chrome browser. So I don't have apple TV yet so I don't know exactly what else it can do, but this chromecast thing looks like a great little tool for $35. So let's say you have person A (my cheap brother) who just moved into his hole in the wall apartment in NYC. He wants to avoid paying for cable TV and was going to get Apple TV for $99. Now that I see this chromecast thing, I am trying to figure out why should he get AppleTV for $99 instead of chromecast for $35. If one has their own wireless internet connection (as nearly everyone does in their house today), wouldn't the situation of not being able to stream be an impossibility, or very very rare circumstance. Why do you need an interface and apps if you can just go to a chrome browser on your phone/tablet/laptop/pc and load anything you want from your device onto your tv?

I'm ok with flattish action after a $22 pop yesterday. It could be worse. And it could be a LOT worse if your name was Anthony Weiner.

I can't wait for Apple to get into search. Sick and tired of Google copying everything under the sun and giving it away for next to nothing. Good from a consumer standpoint if you love getting bombarded with ads, but I'm not one of those consumers.

Sold my Weekly $430/$435 BCS. Didn't get HoD, but doubled my investment.
Looking to replace those with Weekly $435/$440 BCS at $2.05 (requires AAPL at $433.xx).

The net cost is $11 ($35-$24 for Netflix), so I figure, why not try it out?

Why bother with a chromecast when you get just pick up a displayport/HDMI cable for $12 on Amazon? I'll gladly pay $99 for an AppleTV that has an ever-expanding app interface. Chromebook is going backward. It's the original iPhone running on iOS1.x. No apps.

How could you miss it? But I think Apple could do better than Weiner as a spokesmodel. His mayoral candidacy is so surreal....

Happy I didn't make any bets on AMZN. Not much volatility in AH. And this is on a revs/earnings miss, for crying out loud! Of course, that might also mean opportunities in the days and weeks ahead.
WAG, AAPL gets constrained by max pain, but if it holds 435-440 well, maybe I'll set up another upside trade.

Well, it's only the bane of one's existence if you traded it. So hopefully you didn't.
It might be a good trade in the next couple weeks on weakness, who knows? Just gotta watch for new Kindle rumors, tho (not like they're doing much for Amazon's bottom line).

The CRUS shareholder letter does not suggest to me that anything big is coming from Apple in the next quarter. The composition of the letter makes it very difficult for me to "copy" parts of the letter. From CRUS 10-Q:We had one end customer, Apple Inc. that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 77 percent and 59 percent of the Company’s total sales for the first quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively.
