After you. ... No, after you ... OK, I think we can pretty much see a pattern to AAPL's day trading. The stock opens weak on little volume for the first ten minutes or so. Meanders around up or down then closes strong. I think there's a tacit agreement between traders that those trying to get out of short positions have the first ten minutes, then all bets are off. In return, the last ten minutes is left to the bullish contingency. Again, another totally unsubstantiated theory.
