>> please don't chart on drugs IMO, buying on drugs based upon (your favorite word, "subjective") f-a-n-b-o-y-a-l-y-s-i-s is much worse, TJ. Seriously, it takes a complete lack of understanding of technology (and how markets work, or purchasing buys stuff) if you think AAPL is going to be worth a fraction of what its pigly cap today just a short distance down the line... I hope you still aren't using your position to squander your employer's money on obsolescence built-in, proprietary and closed technology from a company known to change standards and compatibility with the wind; leaving all old systems as junk for the pile. "I'm back in the April $800s as of today. Left room for an average if needed. You need these dumps to create value after a nice run. May be another little shake in the AM, but barring any major global or stock specific negative news, I think we're very close to a bottom here." *"Just started a position in the Jan. $590 calls with the stock down $13.50. Love it. Holding out for another one or two adds just in case we get further weakness"* Did you ever get those one or two additional adds to top off your $590 calls, that followed up your April 800s, (bought near the "bottom") TJ? X-D Has enough "value" been created yet, in this pig?

>> This is what's known as a retirement stock, meaning that you only need one of these in your investing lifetime, if you're smart and aren't subjective in your analysis or mindset. Find one of these and retire in 10 years Sorry, TJ, AAPL is not one of those stocks. You are going to painfully find out, once you get past the denial phase in your 12 step reality check program. :) Your claimed "investment" position (as opposed to the "trades" like those AAPL April $800 calls that you so wanted to discuss a few months ago)... what is your basis? You seem to be stating that you have some core position that may lie in direct contradiction with your "trading" positions. Please, tell us what your entry point was on this "core" investment? What will you tell us when AAPL joins your "broken stock" club? Or are you telling us, that in your expert opinion, it won't?
