The qualification to be an expert stock analyst seem to consist of having the ability to write. If analysts knew what they were doing they'd be rich and wouldn't need to have jobs as analysts, would they... He he. I remember once talking about Apple and Microsoft and the computer business with my Mom's broker, back in the days when people had brokers. I was a lot more green on investing then, but this guy was appallingly ignorant about the digital world. Like most business people he was a Microsoft user and believed a bunch of shit that wasn't even close to being true. At that point I was adverse to giving any one "advice" on stocks. But I did steer my Mom away from the worst of his suggestions... suffice it to say she didn't make any money from his advice. She would have done a hell of a lot better with advice I would have given her. People on the best of these forums are a lot more focused in on their areas of expertise. These expert prognosticators tend to be generalists with no real expertise.

Prognostication I'm thinking about writing some calls by next Tuesday. Based on technicals I think AAPL is going to get to about $130 and then hang out for a couple months before its next leg up. What it does after that will depend on CY1Q15 results plus Apple's CY 2Q15 guidance, but I expect these will be Just Fine. More on Apple Watch in a later post -- this will matter a whole lot come July. Y'all have any thoughts, whether contrary and/or complementary?
