Tax hikes mean stocks go down, Wednesday they might go up and Friday there might be a glimmer of hope and we'll be up 80 points but then we'll end down 200 after the meeting. Oh, and NFLX will be going down until the CEOs decide to lower the subscription rates, that'll jump start the stock again.

I wish the market would just decidedly crash already. Greece is inevitably going to have to default. All they're doing is propping Athens up for the entire EU to fail. Letting it default now would be more cost-effective imo.

Dumped all TNA and TYH at the open(protecting nice gains there)...should see trend day down unless major recovery takes place within next 25 minutes, which is doubtful given Asia and Europe.

Downside risk is at 1170ES and then 1140ES...see selling for 1st half of this week then one last push to make final high near 1250...if we cant get to 1250 things gonna get ugly real fast...ugly is where we are headed imho just a matter of time.

Holy shit apple. Everything is down three percent this thing is up 3. It's $410. Still too high to buy or buy now?

Much to high to buy ATM. It will drop, do not worry.

Cnbc reporting today that the enticing low p/e ratios of company stocks right now might vanish soon if earnings begin to diminish from the hit of the coming recession. Stocks look cheap now, but when that earnings sheet goes down soon, you're gonna jam yourself in an overpriced stock. Be patient grasshopper. Besides, every ten point spread on aapl has resistance, usually. It's already come down from $410. Be patient. Aapl has Hit $356 levels twice in the last month, and we aren't even in the thick of things ATM.

Greece should not fall

BMW//M · 09-19-2011, 05:17 PM

Aapl finished at $411. Anyways the Greeks should receive a phone call by the IMF chief and other big names on their future. When will they though, tonight? I hope Greece just declares bankruptcy to show the world socialism doesn't work. Oh and I also want the markets to fall, lol.

That's nice but chipotle (CMG) was peaking at 6 % today, it closed just under 5.7%

BayMoWe335 · 09-19-2011, 06:40 PM

AAPL is going to $500 or higher and really nothing is going to stop them. I've said in previous threads they are a screaming buy under $400.

I know it "looks" like a short, but they have the earnings, growth, and cash to back it up. They still don't trade at a huge premium and even after the run is a stock I'd rather own than something like NFLX at $140.

The demand for iPhone 5 is incredible...all the research, even freaking twitter is constantly blowing up about "wen duz da iphone 5 come out." Seriously, search iphone 5 at Twitter and see how much it's being discussed. It's insane.

I think the action today proves someone knows something we all don't know...yet.

BMW//M · 09-19-2011, 07:49 PM

Well I'll still wait for a dip before I buy. Hopefully the dip doesn't happen when apples at $430 and it just goes down to $420 or something. When does the iPhone 5 release? If it's within three weeks I'll just buy apple outright.

BMW//M · 09-19-2011, 07:51 PM

I have a question though. Would I make more money buying four $460 December aapl calls or would I make less than if I just bought it in stock form right now and made $20,000 by December? Because the underlying value of those 4 calls is the equivalent of buying 400 stocks.

Javi335 · 09-19-2011, 08:27 PM

The bull says he's tired, he run too much in the euro markets the last days.

Release the bear please:

and i think that this was not granted today

Probably announced within 1-2 weeks and released in the next 4 weeks. Also potential to announce deals with either or both T-Mobile or China's largest mobile carrier. This is the news to watch as if they get a deal in China, their stock might double from here in 2 years.

Yeah

I am kicking myself for selling too early (though the money I used from selling it did go for a good cause..... )

I'll buy once all the $300 people sell their $400 stock now so it dips a bit under 400

mact3333 · 09-20-2011, 01:10 AM

aapl will prob announce iphone 5 release date very soon...

...maybe even tomorrow given todays action.

But 300.00 more likely than 500.00...MSFT, CSCO, INTC were all great growing co's at some point and none have moved for a decade now...but they fall down eventually...so will AAPL one day, its inevitable...but they do make great computers and phones for now...

.

This bear mkt will be interesting...no credit collapse, perhaps worse, collapse of sovereign debt...govt was there to backstop bank losses but who will back up the govt debt bomb???...bond mkt is much larger than the equity mkts and currency mkt is much larger than bond mkt...we will see things we couldnt imagine soon enough.

Funny thing about charts is this, it gives you a window into the economic, political and social future.

Im also in gold, pure speculation, trading for week to week, the channel is very stable by now, 1800-1900

And for very shorts trades "the green, green grass of homeeeee" my Ibex35.

Draven · 09-20-2011, 09:59 AM

Seems like I'll be going against the grain from most of you, but I've been following the market for about 7 years, and investing off and on for 5. I made a lot of money buying Ford at $1.60 and selling at $12.60 in a 7 month span during the auto crisis a few years ago.

When I recently started investing again, I got into dividend paying pharmaceuticals and REITs. I bought BMY at 25.80 and sold for $30 last week for 16% adjusted profit less tax for a 6 months investment. Kinda wishing I'd held for a year to avoid the short capital gains tax, even if the value drops, I'd probably still come out ahead. Oh well.

My REIT portfolio is about even from where it was 6 months ago value wise (gained on IVR, lost on CIM), but I've made almost 35% of the stock value in dividends less 15% taxes, so I'm still doing quite well there.

Anyone else into REITs? Obama's tax restructuring talks right now are really scaring me. I'm hoping that shoot all that crap down or it'll really kill that market segment. For now though since the feds have promised to keep interest rates down, that segment should be safe. Hopefully the politicians don't regulate that segment out of existence.

Man fuk apple. Didn't Italy get downgraded today? Why aren't the markets down 300? Makes no sense...

BMW//M · 09-20-2011, 12:02 PM

I'm still waiting on a dip even though markets will be up tomorrow again. Thursday or Friday expect some turmoil though. Any news out of Greece?
