Replace "wearable", "health band", "smart watch" with "tablet" and tell me that's not what people were saying about the IPad before launch. I think Apple Watch will be big.

You may be right, but the fool completely left out Apple Pay.

Apple was off almost 3 percent the Nasdaq was off a little over one. Nasdaq is 5 percent off highs. Apple is off 12 percent off highs. ?? Alright ... don't confuse me with facts Still very long and not overly concerned .... Cheers to the longs ... After the rest of my after-hours $106.70 order fills, I am officially ALL IN and confident that, with perhaps a dip below 105 tomorrow, AAPL will be several percents greener by opening on Tuesday morning. Feelin' groovy.

The Good: The only buying I do now days is the automatic reinvesting of AAPL dividends in my IRAs. But since AAPL has been pushed down so much lately, I was pleased to come across some dividend cash ($4457.80), from small amounts of various inherited stocks, that had built up over several quarters. I calculated that a limit order for $108.50 would allow me to buy 41 shares and have enough left for the $8.95 transaction fee, plus $.35. The problem was, even though the stock went down that far yesterday, it didn't return to that level after I had placed the limit order. I considered just placing a market order today for 40 shares and being done with it because I didn't think it would revisit that level today. When I happened to wake up in the middle of the night, I decided put in that same limit order again with my iPhone, figuring I had nothing to lose. So the stock dropping as it did today, at least triggered my limit order. Hooah!The Bad: I needed to sell enough AAPL to get $45,000 by the end of this week to pay my last 2014 estimated taxes for Federal and State, plus a large credit card bill resulting from an ongoing remodel. I passed on selling last Friday because of hopes that a rise in the stock price this week would reduce the number of shares I had to sell. Because the week started the way it did, I ended up, on Monday, having to sell 413 shares at a little over $109. If I had sold last Friday, I only would have had to sell 402 shares. So I had to lose 11 extra shares. Bummer!. The Ugly: Today's (and probably tomorrow's) close. What, me worry?================================= Part of being able to "Buy and Hold" AAPL stock is putting up with the FUD and the artificial (IMO) setbacks that we've experienced for the last few weeks. If I own the stock because I believe in the company's future (and I do), I'm not going to lose that conviction because of the ability for the stock to be tossed around like it has been. Long term, I know where it's going and, during the ups and down's on the journey, I think about the destination and comfort myself with the future dividends and the resulting auto-reinvests. As gtrplyr said in an earlier post: Still very long and not overly concerned....
Cheers to the longs...

2 questions -
1. Any idea on Max Pain for tomorrow?
2. How strongly are any of you concerned about USD currency issues hurting the FYQ1 report?
