At least we're green in after-hours...

A 10% retracement is really not unusual. From the high of 119.75 that would be 107.75. The zigging and zagging can get hard to stomach on a daily basis, but consolidation is healthy. We've taken out several of those pesky gaps left in the wake of our upward bound and are positioning to rebound well. I'm still sitting on the dividend. $109 is the number I'm looking for... It will probably come while I'm inaccessible...

How realistic is the assumption that Apple will raise their dividend at the next meeting? If so, does anyone have a guess at what the new amount will be? We may be approaching another opportunity like the one we had in April 2013.

We may be approaching another opportunity like the one we had in April 2013. I do believe Tim already committed to raising the div annually, so it's a very realistic assumption. How much? I'll guess about 8%. Now how do you figure we may be approaching an April '13 opportunity?! Edit: Had a hard time finding a reference to it, but I knew I wasn't crazy: "Additionally, the tech giant is committed to increase its payout to shareholders. The company aims to buy back $130 billion worth of shares by the end of 2015 and plans to raise dividend every year (read: Apple Stock Repurchases Puts Buyback ETF in Focus)." From a Zack's report that came up in a Search...

Apple should sue the plaintiff for all it's legal expenses on this case. People like this need to learn a lesson....and her husband is an idiot...they deserve each other.

OK, I come in here feeling dirty and weak for having watched an online CNBC video of Fast Money. They trolled me into it from the futures page with a Buy Apple's Pullback? clickbait link. Anyway, just when I thought nobody could be dumber than Melissa Lee, some dumb blond named Courtney Reagan was hosting. In less than 2 minutes, she said, "what's the next catalyst, it seems we have been talking about the iPhone 6 forever?" A product released three months ago. Then she asked Walter Piehole what the demand for the Watch was. Dear CNBC, Attractive bimbos as anchors ain't cutting it. Your ratings suck. Other channels have hot chicks running around in bikinis on islands, and they don't even say dumb things about Apple. Consider a new strategy, or you'll be competing with former Radio Shack employees for work. Cordially, Investors

Since I'm now on an island, I'll be scouting CNBC replacements near the beach...
