Free real time shows the same. Don't know how that snuck in. It seems a bit high. It must have been an early trade at the open. I haven't seen anything above 45 1/2 yet. Still, I think it looks good this morning. Not doing what I would expect, but what do you want with a downgrade from SB? BTW, I have an account with them. I checked their ratings on my holdings. I have made a ton of money, and my holdings with them don't rate above a hold, and they haven't been downgraded (well, now one has). They have shitty analysts. Unfortunately, their retail division is huge, and if they're telling people this stock is going moribund, then people will get out. But, I expect the buyers will step in pretty soon.

quote.com is showing a high of 47-7/8 today. I assume that's a mistake. Anyone with another quote service?? We're down to 44 now. E*Trade shows a high of 46. Linda, don't take this personally, but I've noticed that you've done this on several occasions now: you bought way out of the money calls, and then held them right till expiration. I would recommend buying in the money, or very close to the money, calls, and getting them a quarter in advance (i.e. buy April in expectation of Jan earnings), and sell them early. This is what Andrew did--he even sold half his Aprils before earnings and half after I think, to spread his risk--and it seems like a smart plan to me. Again, I don't mean it as a criticism; it's just a pattern I've noticed and thought I would mention. Of course, AAPL may yet move up today, but it's not looking good so far. rhet0ric
