Great day yesterday. Let's get some follow-through. Setup for a big move IMO. Look at the fibs and support levels. MACDh swinging. Lots of good ahead.

So Doc, is this the move that brings us to $540 like most Fib sites are suggesting or do we go higher or what? Define "big move" please. And yes, I know it's just your opinion based off of your work so I'll proceed with caution. Just want to know what you're seeing as well. TIA
By the way, EW is often more of an art than a science (albeit mathematical). There are EW technicians out there predicting (for lack of a better word) seeing $540 then back down to possibly the $450-ish level and then to the moon.....while others are saying that if we penetrate and break the $550 area now - we are probably going to $625. I'm guessing it is each individual's interpretation of which wave we're in and which movements constitute which type of wave. Nonetheless, seems positive for a bit here. Anyway - your thoughts would be appreciated - as well as anyone else who feels secure in their technical work.

well… let's hope (well I do anyway…) that Tim and Co have been busy buying back during our latest dip into the cold recesses of low AAPL price. good morning all from way down under… although not quite as far down as Burgess. everyone happy today…. please excuse my apparent smugness

Too bad we don't get a few Board members switched around. Some new blood wouldn't be bad in my opinion. My proposal would be to put Musk on the Board...just sayin.

It's back on my radar if we take back 550 then 575.

Thanks - I needed that! Oh ... Is anyone on this Board - active or lurking - attending the shareholders meeting today by any chance?

Don't know if anyone was watching but CNBC erroneously said that Icahn's proposal was going to be voted on today at the AAPL Investor Meeting. Then none other than Tim Cook called in to correct them! Geez...WTF?!

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Musk on the Apple board someday.
Maybe right after they cooperate on batteries.

At first they said he called in and then they said it was an email directly from him. I have no link - I was watching it but several blogs are already chatting about it as well. Don't know if CNBC will post a link on their site but what would be the link? That they made an error and were corrected by Cook? I believe the point was that they were very proud that he was watching Squawk Box - Becky Quick reported it.

Tesla uses 18650 cylindrical Lithium Ion cells in its packs. 2. Apple uses Lithium Polymer packs in its iPhones and iPads. They could care less about the cells Tesla uses. The use case is completely different. 3. Tesla is a big buyer of batteries, not an innovator on battery chemistry designed to increase energy density. They take off the shelf cells and integrate them into packs. Therefore they are doing nothing that is of any use to Apple.

He is just one of the recent 'hit' star. Apple needs those lasting one and not the flashy ones.

Not that I expect to hear anything announced at the shareholder's meeting but from all the talk I've heard it seems as though most feel Apple's is flatlining ..... I guess Apple is the new Microsoft . FWIW, I think that is utter BS .....

I was reacting to this battery idea, which I have heard many times. Basically, I am saying: (Big Battery Customer) + (Big Battery Customer who Needs Different Batteries) <> Battery Cooperation

(Big Battery Customer) + (Big Battery Customer who Needs Different Batteries) <> Battery Cooperation Thought we finally agree on something . I find it amusing that 'recent hit' stars are been proposed as next Apple CEO (e.g. Marissa), on Apple's board (e.g. Musk), etc. Market is obsessed with 'recent' and 'star'. Personally, I prefer, 'steady', and 'time-tested'. I guess reflect my personality and age.

Forget the BOD. Make him the CEO. The current guy has been alluding to having a creative vision for 2 1/2 years, but he still hasn't proven he's got one.

Let me the first to predict here that apple will have a media event around mid march to announce new Apple TV. Timing to coincide with game developers conference.
