What happened to the good old days
when AAPL stock went up all week and
pulled back a little on Friday?

Well, AAPL has been slowly climbing all this week
and is up another 2% today.  This Monday I let all
my Premium Access Subscribers know that I was
entering a Bullish Call Spread on AAPL...
It's now up over 30% and running!

What's up with the GOOG and AAPL pairs trade?

Anyone who has been following the market knows that AAPL's been heavily sold in a confirmed down trend for 6 months, meanwhile GOOG has been a bullish beast during the same time frame. Many have coined it the AAPL and GOOG pairs trade.

A pairs trade is when you buy one stock and sell another. In this case, big time players on Wall Street have been buying up GOOG shares and selling their AAPL shares since the fall of last year. With AAPL perking up all week and GOOG dropping down, it is starting to feel like traders are unwinding that pairs trade. To do this, they must sell their GOOG stock and buy AAPL stock.

The $450-$455 level will be the next big level for AAPL to retest.
If AAPL can get up and above this level then the downtrend we've been in for the last six months
will officially be over... and I think I speak for all Apple investors when I say this... "it's about time".

Here is a six month chart of AAPL showing the downtrend with two yellow lines.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AAPL is still climbing as I write this and my Bull Call Spread is turning into a very nice winner!

Trade On,
Micah
