quote.com is showing a high of 47-7/8 today. I assume that's a mistake. Anyone with another quote service?? We're down to 44 now.

E*Trade shows a high of 46.

Linda, don't take this personally, but I've noticed that you've done this on several occasions now: you bought way out of the money calls, and then held them right till expiration. I would recommend buying in the money, or very close to the money, calls, and getting them a quarter in advance (i.e. buy April in expectation of Jan earnings), and sell them early. This is what Andrew did--he even sold half his Aprils before earnings and half after I think, to spread his risk--and it seems like a smart plan to me. Again, I don't mean it as a criticism; it's just a pattern I've noticed and thought I would mention.

Of course, AAPL may yet move up today, but it's not looking good so far.
