I'm shorting AAPL and GOOG

EVERYBODY READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU RESPOND ANY MORE TO RETAILDAYTRADER

He is completely fake and is being sarcastic. He is not serious at all. I am sure of it. Reread his posts. His actions are almost the exact opposite of what you are supposed to do while trading.
1. Trade off of emotion
2. Ignore your stops completely.
3. Short stocks that are strong fundamentally and technically.
4. Have no plan or strategy.

He is just trying to get everyone riled up, like he did in this thread.

He is a loser who doesn't have anything better to do with his time. He thinks he is a comedian, even though he is not funny and has a weird sense of humor. Do not play into him.

PUT HIM ON IGNORE IMMEDIATELY AND NEVER RESPOND TO HIM AGAIN.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS THREAD ANY MORE EITHER. THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST POST IN IT FROM ANYONE EXCEPT RETAILDAYTRADER.

Ohhh!!

Nice catch. Busted!

I'm telling you guys, this kid is the next stocktrad3r.

he posted that at 7pm, what does that prove? You probably dont realize new years eve is for amateurs and suckers; because you are both.

What will you say when this trade works, the SPY is down another 50 cents after hours.

Wow, you have a bad reading comprehension problem, huh? Did you graduate high school? Maybe read back over the thread and figure out why the guy posted that link before vomiting in this thread.

Just a suggestion.

What will I say when this trade works? Are you a total moron? He already fucking doubled down. The trade didn't work. Price went through his stop. In addition, as has been posted here, there are at least 4 really good reasons why AAPL is the definition of a stock that you don't fuck with on the short side. There are so many easier targets out there. That's the point for beginners reading this thread.

If the trade works it's like hitting a 4-outer on the river. Does that make you a good poker player?

Lastly, this punk rtd has been wandering around the boards calling out the some of the best guys we have here, pissing on their legs, and generally making an asshole of himself. That's generally acknowledged - it's not my opinion. He's a failed carpenter who's found something he can pretend he's good at.

Everyone is welcome here; idiots will be pointed out.

That's my spinn.
 
you are so excited about this....a multi paragraph post when someone loses money, and just how much money does that make you???

now I know apple is coming down.

Nik have you been outside today, or this week?

Yea, definitely agree. I like goog short too, but you either have to wait for a breakdown on charts or a big volume flush, as the smart start dumping into those who chase. I can only daytrade this beast anyway, too much $. Need to split this thing and let the noobs play too.


Yes. Trendline is sitting at 195. This is the area where I might become interested, and the resulting price behavior around this level.
 
? never heard margin is determined by number of shares or price per share but by dollar notional ;-)

When someone makes a sweet trade, some of you get jealous and attribute it to luck. When the market doesnt move your way, then you blame it on manipulation and Goldman Sachs. You follow these holy grails of written rules. I am going to stop you right there. All of that is obviously wrong, not the case and so you need to re-think. Throw out those charts and list of rules because they just do not work. Work on the P in the P&L.

I operate on fact. The fact of the matter is that Steve Jobs went through a very involved surgery earlier in the year where one of his organs was transplanted. A complx procedure and Jobs still is not well. The market has gone straight up and, of course, forgot about Job's health condition in the hoopla.

I have received word there are still problems with Steve Job's overall health. Some sophisticated investors have recently been informed...those who are close to Apple. You wont know any of this until after the stock tumbles 10-20%. Thats just how it goes.

I know some of you guys just discovered the AAPL trade and want to think and believe it will go to 400 from here. That is the type of thinking that has gotten you into trouble time and time again. The real truth is that now Apple is contending with much larger hidden issues that Apple will not disclose to its stock holders and sophisticated investors are now exiting at the top while you sit there bagholding your aapl shares. Soon we will see messages on here about how they are stuck in Apple and asking what to do. I have the answer, short the stock. Thats what I am doing.



The black cloud over Apple regarding Steve's health has temporarily lifted. But your point is well taken. It is anyone's guess how this stock will react if Jobs is out of the picture. I got out of this stock last year for the very reason you mentioned. Looks like I missed out. In the past, Steve Jobs WAS Apple. Those close to the company may have a different slant and it could be that they continue to roll on without missing a beat without Steve.
 
his social skills are in dire need of an overhaul but shorting google may turn out as a profitable trade,when you trade anything that moves 8 and 10 points in a day, you need to be prepared to take a little heat,below that blue price line at 618, and another unmarked at 602, there is room for a move to 570 and 550 and 540 area
