You had to mention AAPL ... :-( One of my very rare adventures into shorting individual stocks. Went short at $586 and covered at $550. To this day I can’t figure out what made me do it especially since it was a pair trade (long BB/RIM). I guess I couldn’t tune out the positive AAPL chatter but somehow managed to tune out the negative BB chatter. I suppose a case of selective hearing. BTW, are you sharing your trading thoughts anywhere else or have you essentially retired from “chat lines”?
