Yea, so about earnings. I don't think AAPL will miss again. And if it does miss, it won't be a 10% drop like last time.
If you have a high risk tolerance, buying in advance of the earnings could be smart. There's also a good chance the price runs up prior to earnings as well.
And of course, if it beats, or just matches, upside of 10% is not out of question.
