I am re-shorting AAPL

Quote from stock piker:

Someone (not me) in my firm shorted 264 last night in size. It's all relative.

Wow... must've taken a bad hit... at least for today. Sounds aggressively vicious... maybe like a northern 'pike'
 
Quote from hajimow:

I think you have an attitude problem. I said I don't trade AAPL. Not long and Not Short. My specialty is 10 stocks and I don't jump around stocks. You should revisit your posts in two weeks. The fact that IPAD is not allowed in universities would be a big damp on the stock

You should correct your statements and stop listening to the "geniuses" on CNBC who know less than the paper traders on here. Only a few universities have "banned" the ipad, and its a wifi/network issue that can and will be updated quicker than you seem to understand. Nor will it be a big damp on the stock. Not to mention the 3g model is going to be out next week which is what a lot of people wanted in the first place. You do not know what you are talking about.

I don't have an attitude problem, I just call bullshit when I see it and it's all over this board. I don't care for paper traders or people who have no idea what is going on in the market outside of thinking because they watch cnbc while on ET, they're a trader.
 
looks like the bears are back... if we close below 1200... that will bode will those shorting AAPL... of course... AAPL is still a great company
 
Trading is about pattern recognition.
Here is the pattern:
Trader (the real one) makes a huge commitment in the market.
Other traders post different views on the market than him.
Trader gets irrate and starts calling other traders names.

The greater your commitment the greater your... uhh... heart.

So if AAPL ain't gapping down tomorrow, it ain't a short.
 
A little hint for some of you....

Pyramids were built on the backs of thousands of slaves...

In the same way, trends are build on the back of thousands of participants who intelligently follow their logic and instincts by going against strength (selling dear) or supporting weakness (buying cheap).
 
The Ipad is one overpriced little gadget, that said AAPL will probably sell more of these than Mcdonald's burgers. I played with it for a few minutes and could see why someone would want it, AAPL knows how to market their products (ie goodwill), this intangible allows them to ask a premium while Dell and the rest kill themselves fighting for no margins. How much cheaper can a laptop get. I remember when any POS laptop was over a grand, now the market is flooded with netbooks under $300. AAPL will likely continue to gain customers and market share with higher margins.

Unless some terrible news comes out about AAPL, which I don't think will happen anytime soon... there are probably better stocks to short. Think about quickly ipads sold the first day... upbeat earnings... everything is good in Apple land right now.
