It's heading for that 89 day MA isn't it?

Yeah and the SMA(89) lines up with the 61.8% minor retrace. But that might not hold as support if the Fed does not hint at some form of QE.

Nice little bounce back today...i've got 1376 as short term resistance. yday i thot it was collapsing out of a triangle, but this up move is too strong...doesn't jive with 'thrusting' out of a triangle.

18's 1375 is a magnet, last years high, my guess for this year was 1406 (missed) but did come within inches of 18's 1425... I spy a H&S last couple months on the daily.

Apple getting rocked.

I got a Samsung Blaze a few weeks ago. Finally dumped the blackberry.

The phone and operating system is awesome.

Too much competition in the space.

Uh, I don't think BR's article about the "death race" had anything to do with defending public employees per se. More like defending the right of rich car owners to have occasional road rallies with state support.

"...Apple rose as much as 7.8 percent to $604.22 in extended trading, after having dipped 2 percent to $560.28 at the close in New York.
Confounding the Naysayers

The company’s shares shed $75.95 since a record close of $636.23 on April 9 amid reports that indicated a possible shortage in key components for its mobile devices and showed a decline in iPhone sales at wireless carriers. Some traders also took cues from so-called technical indicators that use historical trends to predict stock movements.

The results released today add to evidence of the rebound in some pockets of the economy that lifted results last quarter for other technology bellwethers. Microsoft Corp., the top software maker, last week reported better-than-expected corporate purchases of computers, while Texas Instruments Inc., the biggest maker of analog chips, yesterday indicated robust demand for a range of electronics.

China, the world’s most populous nation, is making up a growing slice of Apple’s results since the introduction of the iPhone there in 2009. It accounted for $7.9 billion of revenue, or 20 percent of the total, Cook said on a call with analysts.
‘Understanding’ China

“China has been a very fast-growing region for them,” said Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA Inc. in New York. “There’s more disposable income, strong demand for high-end products and their penetration has been very low in that market. They have been highlighting that region as one of their focus areas.”

Cook visited China last month, meeting with government officials and touring plants where the company’s products are built. The visit came just as a labor group said workers at those facilities, which are operated by Foxconn Technology Group, were violating local laws for excessive work hours. Cook has vowed to improve conditions at the facilities.

“There is tremendous opportunity for companies that understand China,” Cook said on the call. “We’re doing everything we can to understand it and serve the market as good as we can.”

In the first six months of the fiscal year, China made up almost $13 billion in sales, Cook said, matching the total for all of last year.
IPads, IPods

“They are just getting started in China,” said Peter Karazeris, an analyst at Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, which owns Apple shares. The company will get a lift when the iPhone is available on China Mobile, the country’s biggest carrier, with more than 600 million subscribers. ..."
