I think we have further to drop from here.

I think so too.

 

[tsptalk]

That's 2 bears. Is that a contrarian indicator?

AAPL up $22 after hours - a very strong quarter - wait make that $24.

 

[MrJohnRoss]

AAPL up $22 after hours - a very strong quarter - wait make that $24.

That's pretty good, and about what was expected. Still in a downtrend though. Tom made a few bucks, if he sells tomorrow. Otherwise, look out below.

Then again, I could be wrong. Heh heh heh...

 

[Birchtree]

AAPL now up $40 in afterhours trading - wait make that $42 - I can't keep up.

 

[MrJohnRoss]

OUCH: AAPL's earnings are out. Today's report reflects the first few weeks of the new iPad launch. Apple sold 11.8 million iPads during Q1 2012.
Apple was expected to sell ~13 million iPads

+34. Tom's making some bling. Heh.

 

[Birchtree]

How many shares at $560 did he acquire?

 

[MrJohnRoss]

My guess: I think we'll drop below $525 before we see the all time high of $640 again.

 

[Birchtree]

I suspect if the hedge funds buy the open tomorrow AAPL might easily zip right on past the $640 price - on its' way to $700.

 

[MrJohnRoss]

Naw, I think they bought it for window dressing at the end of March to spiff up their annual reports. Then they dumped it.

 

[MrJohnRoss]

"... Tax Freedom Day® 2012 arrives on April 17 this year, four days later than last year due to higher federal income and corporate tax collections. That means Americans will work 107 days into the year, from January 1 to April 17, just to earn enough money to pay this year’s combined 29.2% federal, state, and local tax bill.

If the federal government raised taxes enough to close the budget deficit—an additional $1.014 trillion—Tax Freedom Day would come on May 14 instead of April 17. That’s an additional 27 days of government spending paid for by borrowing. ..."

WOW - 30% of the stocks in the SPX have increased their dividends during the first quarter - I got 55 of them so far. I got plenty of bull manure if anybody wants some.
