AAPL reporting this afternoon. If they miss, or guidance is weaker than expected, it's gonna get ugly.

I think they beat, and their guidance is strong, based mostly on the new China Mobile deal.

I'm debating a Pro Shares nasdaq ultra short QID

glllllllllllllllll

 

[jamny]

I'm moving to the sidelines... Anyone else?

We met with a financial advisor on Thursday before the market opened. It has tanked since. We have a nice chunk of cash we're looking to put in and the timing is looking good for an entry point in the near future. Won't do anything though until this settles.

For the last 6 months I've been reading endlessly about the market being expensive, stocks overvalued, correction, etc...

Between Thursday, Friday, & today I think that feeling is spreading more to a reality - Volatility Index going through the roof - The money lost over the last few sessions has been pretty intense, but personally i see no reason not to take the gains from the last 2 years off the table.

We went all cash late last year to consolidate everything with one financial planner. They've taken us on as a favor since they usually deal with much higher value clients. Really interested to see the package they put together for us.

Talking to my broker and reading the articles that are out, this seems to be the "joe investor" mindset right now. There is a ton of cash pulled out of bonds that are still sitting on the sidelines.

This 'scared money' pulled from Bonds haven't yet been fully allocated into equities. All that money that needs to be put somewhere... definitely not back into treasuries. Gold is a possibility, but there is alot of public fear there too since it has been performing very poorly for a few years.

IMO a minor correction in the market (creating illusion of value) followed by a quick recovery (real or fake) is the best fishing lure for Joe Public's dollars back into equities.

I'm tentatively picking positions to add on this dip.

Dip to me is a scary term - The market has pretty much been gaining for 5 straight years... It eventually gets to the point where our economy is ####### amazing or things need to correct themselves... Now that I've pulled out, expect the market to continue on the upward trajectory

As I sold out of my positions, the market changed directions... You're all welcome.

[Sarnoff]

Been moving to the sidelines since Siff's alert a couple months back. Missed the recent runup, but today they're at where I got out so it's no different than having gotten out today.

 

[siffoin]

Even if the market does indeed confirm a new bear trend- the market would have a very high probability in the ST of running back towards the old highs before turning down significantly. The market has games within games.

I don't think you should get panicked out of positions right here. With that said I have taken profits on a few positions as I don't want to let even a small winner turn into a loser. What will be most telling is how the market reacts on the next bounce. Right now I'd like to see an aggressive move towards $1820ISH begin soon. What happens on this bounce will be telling.

In regards to that chart posted back in Nov. It is one that has had me paying very close attention since. Today it is at an extreme level never seen 650+ and has been constantly rising for months. (a level of 550+ has in the past marked major tops)

When the momentum of that indicator actually turns down...I hope to be gone.

AAPL running just before earnings in 90 mins.

 

[tommyGunZ]

Will be interesting to see how many shares AAPL bought back and retired in the quarter. 899.74M outstanding right now.

For the same reason Lhucks is contemplating shorting the Q's is the same reason I can't take a stab at AAPL. The Nasdaq is the most bearish of all the indexes right now. If they miss it could get more ugly then usual.

The one thing I keep telling myself is that Icahn is "never" wrong and that this things going to hit 570 on even OK news.

We got Icahn, We got holiday sales, and we got a stock that is severely undervalued to its peers (goog). Option volumes have looked good as well running into earnings. I think alot of the downside is limited. jmo.

This is a freefall. Just busted through 520 like it was nothing.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Seagate missed too...

Tomorrow could be another sluggish day - Wonder what the fed does and the reaction that follows.

520 line is holding now.

Sorry guys - I didnt buy any, I'm surprised AAPL didnt set a sales record.

Is there a gun to the head emoticon around here? OOOF!. Gonna lose about 1500 on the weeklys i played. Will still hold out for better on my March and April calls, but that guidance was the real hit here. Gonna be a losing position unless????? happens.

Punching myself in the balls for not shorting today.

GOOG reports on Thursday. I'm rolling the dice they are still making bank.

I love watching aapl tickers when they do something market noteworthy. Someone with an unlimited pile of cash is just HAMMERING it at 520. Any time it gets below 520 someone comes in and bids the #### out of it. I assume it's computers, but the support is seemingly limitless.

I wonder if 6p EST sees a new trip point? 480 is the real threat. Cross that and there really is no bottom.

Full disclosure, I've leveraged myself in and out at different intervals the past year. So while I'm still way overweight, I'm only in for 80 shares right now.
