Apple's yield was too low at 1.5% at $700, now it's more in line with the S & P at 2.2%. Nothing stopping them from boosting the dividend which could make the yield rocket higher. They could pay an extra $1 billion a quarter in income without stretching themselves thin. That would put the yield well north of 3% and still leave the stock with an above average yield around 2.5% back at $600. Right now, they are stuck in a quiet period ahead of earnings, which leaves them vulnerable. Between buybacks, dividend raise, stock splits and great earnings - I like the stock back at the current levels. I'd be just as inclined to buy more if the price gets much lower, which is still a distinct possibility. But, the stock is getting oversold and there is a big volume divergence from the initial spike lower to $500 last month and the spike lower this month to $585.
