Apple getting bit

Quote from retaildaytrader:

Very good questions.

First off, let me clearly state that I am a trader with short-time frames unlike yourself who lurks on the wrong message board. I think you should probably be on one of those IBD boards instead of a "trader" forum. It seems as if you think in time frames of months or years. Sometimes my time frame is just the day, several days or even weeks. I cant remember when the last time I held anything for a few months.

To answer your question, I covered my short position in early February when I saw a double bottom. That link you posted up was several weeks old BTW.

Your frustration originates from yourself. You purposely hang out on a trader's forum where people are making short term calls while you gloat about some odd position you took way back when in your Fidelity account. If I may make a suggestion which may make your life a whole lot easier, why not go to a board like Morningstar? If you see people trading the ES or some other highly volatile stock, why do you think and believe this board is then for you when you talk about an investment in Apple. I never invest, I trade and use these stocks as trading shells. I really dont care about "The Pad" or any of the nonsense you spew about unemployment or any of that. I am just interested in taking something from point a to point b in a short time frame and then dumping it down...

The point of when you entered Apple is moot. The fact is that you are trying to talk about running marathons when we are talking about running the 100 meter dash. They are similar in ways, but entirely different topics. This is a board where we discuss short term high risk trades not longer term investing strategies such as the ones you profess.

you're right about time frames. my appl long is not a trade. same with my goog long.

but one thing that i don't understand, is why you think i'm frustrated? lol.

btw, re ES........i am one of the very few people who has posted a P&L day trade blotter on ES. i did it for several months back in 2009 - march - may. and again in the beg. of 2010. but i stopped because it added no value to my own trading and was more a nusiuance for me than anything else. i have nothing to prove to you or anyone. RTD, you talk like a hot shot day trader, but i think i have only seen one blotter from you. why don't you post an ES blotter every day for several months?

i'm not trying to get in a pissing match with you, RTD really. i have better things to do. in fact, if i don't reply to this thread anymore, don't take it personally, i just find that ET is not a great use of my time. i ended early today so i thought i'd stop by....and i'm not pleased with myself for getting caught up in your stuff. oh well....no one's perfect.

skier, you are to be commended for trying to speak to this teenage internet troll respectfully, but I am hereby absolving you of the duty. retailstopfailure is the heir to the coinzy/T28/increasenow/stocktrad3r throne. He's a laughingstock of the site. His calls have been so pathetically bad, you would think he would just try again with another username. Instead, what he does is deny he made them, even though they're searchable. Maybe he doesn't know that they're searchable.

Whenever anyone points out one of his lies or errors, he just says, 'Nope, that's not true' and carries on. It's an internet troll thing.

In addition, he likes to tell some of the acknowledged winners here that they can't trade.

Anyhow, thanks for putting those links into the record.

That is not what I call "breezing through". If you mean that breezing through is the fact that it did not go out of business and is now more then 10% above where it was in 2007/2008 then yeah...I guess thats breezing through.

By "breezing through" I meant their earnings grew and beat estimates every quarter. What stocks did during that period was based on hedge fund and panic selling. I was referring to the performance of the company.

Once the panic was over and the rally off lows began, it made sense for AAPL to hit new 52-week highs. And so the market has been rational in this case.

xxxskier is a very good ES day trader who has posted his/her full trading blotters in the past demonstrating how to scale out of a larger position.
 
"... 60 percent of people who say they currently own an Apple product -- “don’t foresee an iPad purchase in their future,” according to an online survey of 2,000 consumers age 18 and older. The survey was done between Feb. 24 and March 3, NPD said.

“It’s easy to sell stuff to early adopters because they want to buy stuff,” Baker said. “It’s hard to sell to the mass market because you have to convince them what you’re selling is something new they want.”"

The 1st generation ipad seems to be limited and I think apple might be doing this on purpose, I believe the second generation probably coming out in 2011 will add the options everyone wants in the ipad being released on Saturday which is,


Multitasking,

USB port

Flash

Camera

Video Recorder

etc, etc, etc, etc.
 
More fools waiting in line for just a bigger iphone.
