Apple

We've come a long way since those carbon copy machines.

The other day I was in a restaurant in Utah and from my cell phone, I deleted the data in a database table that was on a server in Brooklyn. I am amazed at technology.

Steve Jobs was obviously an alien.

AAPL looks to be heading to new 52 week lows. Not a good sign...

Maybe Birch will step in and save the day. The dividend is at 2.4%

Are we heading to $360-370?

AAPL down 2.48% today. I guess even the Fed won't touch it......................

I'd suggest setting a stop loss in case it falls. Based on what you paid and the current price of $475, I'd go somewhere around $430 or $435, I know this would be at a loss for you but you were obviously willing to risk some loss when you bought it.

If it goes up I'd adjust my stop losses in $50 or $75 increments, e.g. if it hit's $500 make it $450, when it hits $550 make it $500. If it's going up I would ride it all the way up and stop loss out $50 below its peak. Just my two cents

You end up stopping out for a loss at $430 like I suggested, or did you ride it out?

Picked up a little AAPL at $395 yesterday and added today at $405. Rolling the dice for an earnings trade.

Must be expecting a beat... what are your options if AAPL disappoints? Some analysts are talking about $321 before a meaningful bounce...

My only option would be to take the loss. I hate turning trading losses into investments.

Me too, but I remember doing that in Aug 2011... I really don't want to re-visit that painful summer...

Not sure about them long term, but with all their cash, you never know what they'll try to do or say (split?) to get investors interested again. Bounce it up to $440 - $450 (50 day EMA) and I'll be happy.

Wow! AAPL has gone negative in AH. It sounds like the lower margins, and the lower margin forecast are partly to blame.

Easy come, easy go. Now flat after hours.
