yea, this rally has Nothing...absolutely Nothing to do with China..AAPL rally also Nothing to do with China

In fact markets in general moving in spite of China...china's obvious problems being ignored or over shadowed by a much larger global central bank and the reason the central banks are acting so unanimously is that china is in "Bad" shape for the time being

This is just wrong on so many levels. AAPL share price may have declined on the drummed up fears that their China sales would slow, but once earnings were out, it was confirmed that they still sell a shit load of product in the world. Earnings are up year over year by around 33%. Every indication is that next quarters sales could be even better. They are dominating their sector, and in the cash cow phase of their best products. I see no sign that they are squandering their money. In fact, they are steadily increasing what they pay back to shareholders. Those who want to participate have to buy the shares.

So you claim it has "Nothing to do with China". Tim Cook says otherwise. The actual sales figures say otherwise. The timing of when the "rally" started says otherwise.

Before earnings, I'd say it was 90%+ that AAPL beat the numbers, mainly a matter of how much they beat, and the whisper number was apparently slightly higher then their actual results. I could see earnings as being either bullish or neutral, neither that great for say Romik and his SPX short ( which I why I suggested it might be a good time to hedge and reduce the potential for losses on the short ).

AAPL has a history of understating their forecasts, MSFT/GOOG were strong this quarter, IT generally does well this time of year, and every news report from AAPL themselves has suggested they are being conservative on their numbers for China and were seeing good things down the pipe ). None of these guaranteed a beat and an appreciating stock price, but the odds were decent.

GDP numbers just right for continuing dovish Fed right through Christmas

gotta admit that the US consumer is really doing all they can to keep things going....last night samsung numbers beat both upper and lower side of the income statement...apple doing well too...US consumers keep bailing us out...even with sh*tty jobs and wages...maybe lower gas prices starting to find their way to the spending side

anyway as we head toward Christmas I think we should expect decent earnings numbers from our Tech majors

Oh no a bearish daily candle, you know what that mean...magic futures will rise tonight and void that nasty setup. Look at all the past ones. Market is run by the central planners. Right now is time to get the marts up to show at least an 8.00% return on the indexes by years end.

So the dollar rockets on a hawkish fed, bonds tank and stocks soar, all of these points to panicky asset managers rotating out of treasuries into stocks, I got a feeling these guys will be buying the highs and selling the lows again.

Got a a limit order to sell ES at 2095, hopefully it will be filled overnight.

Cancelled order. Missed it by a tick so I don't think I will want to sell 2095 if this gets there by next week or something.
