I see those two opposing forces too, but I see that they are too evenly matched, i.e. the trading range is too tight for normal market action. So something else must be going on.
Could it be the m word, the word no one dares speak?

p.s. we have seen this pattern before with the stock being pushed way down before the quarterly report destroying the shorts. Or is the pattern just my projection?

Apple will be able to continue to sell more iPods as the market expands, even if they lose a few points of share.


What if sales up modestly (+25%), profits up more (+45%), but iPod market share drops modestly (to 65%)? Which way does the stock go? My though is that if the iPod market share drops below 60%, investors will panic and sell off, whereas if market share remains above 70%, and the sales/earnings look good, the stock has room to grow.
