Something has been going on with AAPL for some time. After its earnings report the stock has done nothing but show strenght. Even as the market has experianced distribution days it has held up. It should be expected that a breakout would attract significant buyers to the stock. As a disclaimer of sorts I am long AAPL from 44.53
Brandon nice trade, thanks for posting your entry price. Just got to take a look at the 1 day chart, and 1 year chart, and aapl had a real nice set up going past 44.50 with not much risk. Posting trades like that can be really educational for everybody. Well done!!
Well done....plausible analysis. One other point: could be some hedgie short-covering too. Friday's action was telling: every dip was bot.
BUT.....one thought may eventually lead to it's demise however:
the ENTIRE PC market is getting weak...consumer discretionary spending going down; corporate IT spending still controlled by the bean-counters....and "they ain't buyin anything".
