<p>I pulled up a fib chart and I see support around $597 and resistance at around $646. So we’re kind of in the middle of a wide trading range. Fibos line up rather nicely with AAPL.</p>

<p>Tomorrow is ex-div so you get $2.65 if you hold it through today’s close.</p>

3002

<p>could you post a link to the aapl fib chart?</p>

3003

<p>Well, I don’t have it anymore. I create fibo charts on the fly.</p>

<p>The process is:</p>

<p>Mark up chart
Tape snapshot of chart with camera application
Edit the image file in paint
Upload the image file to imageshack
Post the link here</p>

<p>I will see what I can do later tonight.</p>

<p>Just finished listening to some folks on CNBC discussing if the market rally since the bottom of 2009 is real. I agree with those who think it isn’t real and all of us who have made money over the last 4 years should burn it since its fake money - LOL - what dribble on these shows!</p>

3005

<p>The market run is real,without question…The reason for the market run is questionable, without question. ;)</p>

3006

<p>The reason for the run is for me irrelevant. All I care about is whether I make money or not.</p>

3007

<p>^^I think Bernie Madoff’s clients felt the same way^^ until they didn’t make money</p>

<p>Here is BCEagle91’s AAPL chart.</p>

<p>I don’t put my money in the hands of others for the most part so I’m not really worried about another Madoff</p>

3010

<p>I’m assuming those are fib lines - regardless of what they show, there is a lot of resistance at the 620 - 625 range.</p>

3011

<p>That old chart should be good enough.</p>

<p>Interesting stories today about the trading battle between man and machines. Despite the setback for the machines in the Knight fiasco (there was plenty of human error too), the machines are winning. </p>

<p>Bond trading is going to go more and more electronic.</p>

<p>With gas prices quickly rebounding towards 4 bucks, how long before the talking heads say how this will adversely affect consumers, again. ;)</p>

3014

<p>Mr Bear,</p>

<p>There are no traders or investors left.</p>

<p>Just machines.</p>

<p>So nobody is paying attention to gas prices or the stock market.</p>

<p>People are watching the Olympics, or watching Judge Judy.
They are at the beach…or at McDonald’s.</p>

<p>The talking heads on Bloomberg this morning already discussed this.</p>
