    Vol in AAPL hasn't been too bad the past couple of weeks (relative to the past year anyways).

    I don't see what the big deal about eliminating the home button is. The could have did that 8 models ago. Why did they always keep it an analogue button anyway?

    The low fruit is gone. Now it's just splitting a smaller pie.
    Is the iphone X really worth $600 more than an SE?

    Was thinking the same thing...."you tap the screen to turn it on rather than the home button"....."you lay it on a charging pad rather than having to plug it in"...."EMOJIS!"....getting comical at this point that these things are considered improvements worth salivating over. Only thing (in my opinion) that was really compelling were the improvements to the watch.

    Think we are moving closer to peak iPhone.

    Well, so much for the big (mis-)read!!!

    Ah, well.

    Got some stuff moved that really needed moving, anyway.
    But it's out to Oct20, $10-wide at 2555 and 2410.

  9. Nothing has happened to AAPL's chart.
    it's completely neutral and sleepy today.

    What "storm" o_O
    Your prediction abilities needs Viagra.

    Quarterlies, Announcements, Press/product Releases, etc etc...are always inherently risky to trade and expect and assume anything.

  10. You should change your name to Captain Hindsight.
    Everything is always crystal clear with you after the fact, yet you've never posted a single live call.
