I have to learn that when I'm about to throw in the towel and quite AAPL for good. It's time to buy more. Especially when I get that sick feeling in my stomach. Forget buy the f'in dip, buy when I have f'in depression. That didn't work very well for me in the 500s on the way down. Sometimes, respecting that sick feeling is a good thing. ...You can't trade for a lifetime with lottery ticket bets all day. And I'm not saying anyone here does - I sure hope they don't. Amen to that! I have been there, done that before... and then I realized I was going in circles. Way too much work (and stress). "Feast or famine" does not suit me. ;D

Once you realize that sentiment is the biggest driving factor, you cannot lose. Positive sentiment = buy. Negative sentiment = sell. It's that simple. I wish I could rewind to 12 months ago. 705 to 385 could have easily been more profitable than 320 to 705. ehhh, it would be if your core personality didn't see everything as half full. I have an extreme problem with recognizing dark clouds as anything other than a conveyor of life supporting rain. Can I quote you on this? Can I invite others to do the same?

I claim no brilliance or knowledge but if you check the charts AAPL will often consolidate and then make a move up around 2-2:15 P.M Eastern Time on an up day. I've traded it a few times. If I'm going to buy, I'll do it right befoe then (did today, actually). From now on I'm sure it won't work anymore...but we lemmings like patterns. Rule of thumb: if the morning gap isn't closed, heightened chances for continuation in the afternoon after consolidation.

That was my theory for my nutty Aug 23 510 trade today @ high 498. Oh, I was...nervous for a while. But we did see 500+ long enough for me to get out at 501-ish at a decent gain for the time spent on it.

Negative I don't wanna know % (493) to wow that's pretty sweet (+20-25%) to damn frickin failure of a mobile connection (around 5%?). That's a day trade on the edge...
My Oct 550s were my Trade of the Year. Bot 475ish. Sold...higher than expected (close to 500). Thanks Carl!

Ugh ... please do not mention the "P" word ... last time around that was all we ever heard from the talking heads. I HATE THAT WORD! I hate the whole misbegotten theory. Are we talking about Parabolic or Pain? I think phoebes meant the former..... Maybe Gregg did too..but I don't know about a parabolic theory....well, that's not true. There is the "third P. physics.

Everything beats pain. I'm going to need a reminder last time a pain level held. I'm going to need a reminder last time you posted a predictive TA chart. Seriously, stop being an complete ass and let the pain thing go. We know you don't believe in it, so kindly shut the fuck up about it.

Agreeing to disagree and not dredging up stuff over and over again is a good thing. Don't forget, iPad is a OI/pinning "enthusiast" too.
