They knocked it out of the park..... Beat the Street by $0.22, shredded both the top and bottom line. <:-o Holy Shinola! I was pretty sure there would be an upside surprise, but I sure wasn't expecting THAT! A classic, textbook perfect earnings play.... traded sideways for a month going into earnings that was likely to be an upside surprise. No significant ramp up into earnings. Now hovering on chart support and moving average support. And, a stock with extremely high relative strength. THAT's the sort of trade you want to up the position size, IMHO. 139.142.147.218 ==================================== AAPL Apple Computer beats by $0.22, guides Q1 EPS, revs above consensus (65.46 +0.90) Reports Q1 (Dec) earnings of $0.70 per share, $0.22 better than the Reuters Estimates consensus of $0.48; revenues rose 74.0% year/year to $3.49 bln vs the $3.15 bln consensus.
