Hey, guess what? We have a "No Personal Attacks" Rule. I know, sometimes stuff slips by me. I must admit I don't always read every scintillating word posted on this forum. But if you find your posting privileges disabled (for 5 days), that means I read you, and I didn't like what I read, and you should have known better. Thank you, The ManagementI have always had problems with UPPER management, even when I was "middle" management. I think it would be better if you just signed your missives with: She Who Must be Obeyed

This is so hard and fast that I'm wondering if some weakness in earnings has been leaked. Probably not, because if it was there would be some artilce about popping up. And it would sound like that Wells Fargo guy yesterdayy. It's more likely that it's the opposit. Institutional investors are deliberately creating a Doom Vibe so Mr. Market sells and... then at some point between now and when earnings are announced the Hedge Hogs all pile in like gang busters. Also, could this be creating the furtile ground for the last of buy backs?

If you managed Goldman Sachs and had an in to the exact numbers, would you release that Apple was going to miss estimates or would you instead sell or short like a MOFO? Personally, I don't think there is a leak, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was.

Where's Mav? Two soft days in APPL without him. That's my form of TA.
My question for him "What do you know and when did you know it?

AAPL is trading this month like a pony just learning to walk. I can totally relate. I've been there.

Very weird, scary day, there being no obvious news. But the idea that CM numbers are leaking & causing this seems dubious to me, considering CM doesn't even begin selling iPhones for 2 weeks, and we still have almost a month until the Chinese New Year, their Christmas analogue. And I don't even want to hear about pre-orders. We know how accurate reports of bad pre-orders have been over the years, and that was in the less-opaque US.

At least we're up 2 cents at this point after the horrible close , though that will probably change.

I'm banging on the bar door but it refuses to open. I agree with JD, it is a strange day when we have no news and such a big drop (that closes below OI max pain even). Even if we had a dubious FUD report from someone, at least the barbs would have been directed out wards rather than at each other. Attachments:

I think everyone needs to relax. Most people have been out of work this week, or haven't even been watching. Let's see what happens next week before we all slit each other's throats. Why is it a surprise to pull back as we get ready for the biggest options expiration of the year?

Even if we had a dubious FUD report from someone, at least the barbs would have been directed out wards rather than at each other. It's entirely unsurprising from a technical standpoint. Went below 552 on Thursday. No support after that until the SMA50, which we touched, and then barely recovered at the close. Even in a 24/7 news cycle, day to day trading is rarely about the news.

Fugly! Sitting on the daily SMA-50 and not looking pretty. *Should* bounce here, even if it's only an oversold bounce. "Should" being the operative word. I typoed in the above post when I first posted. It is SMA-50. Below this level, I kick and scream and throw tantrums. And I completely understand and sympathize with others when they do the same.

I think Lovey is afraid that consumption will exceed responsible levels. A two drink minimum seems to be in order, however.
