Yeah playing earnings on this one hurt... Ouch! Managed to get out @ $45.50. Looks like a good exit now
I would consider going long AAPL in a few days, they are getting ready to launch iPad II. The MAC store is always packed in my area, no shortage of customers.
More hype coming from the ipad II, so whats different about this one... Lighter Thinner And a camera on the front.... Wow let me go out and grab one, hahah, this is becoming a joke. Who cares that its lighter, thinner and has a camera, why people fall for this constant hype is beyond me. I have a smartphone thats 2 1/2 years old and I still use it everyday like I just bought it.
