For Your Apple

While I was away

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:07:00 +0000

It's funny reading the old posts and how things have not really changed, only a few more people now agree and see what I saw back then regarding the mobile industry and it's players. Apple keeps being Apple and doing it's thing and others fall by the way side or further behind. Rimm fell off a cliff, Motorola saved by Google and now possibly patents? Here is to looking forward.

I am back

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:03:00 +0000

I took off for awhile to concentrate on other duties but intend to get back in the swing of things. Come back and check out what we have to say.

New Trends

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:54:00 +0000

AMZN upgrades got the mo jo back. RIMM better watch out. Trend is down there. You can play but take profits. Build your RIMM position to coincide with earnings release. They always run up before earnings. You should get some selloff from Droid phone news next few days or weeks. Already had some. Losing market share but still a good value at the right price. AMZN's pe is high so get out if the market weakens. Verizon bashing ATT is hurting AAPL and holding it back from going higher. Big money may be next year unless we get some NAPD data showing market share or sales to push it higher. Thats good long term builds a base to launch from if the market holds up but as a shareholder disappointing it did not move as much as the market. Scale back till mojo if you are short term. Take a look a ROM but it is a leveraged play so your entry and exit are critical. You have to manage this one carefully. MOT may be hurt by the HTC droid phone so if you have profits take protect or scale back some. One phone cannot carry motorola and downgrades on valuation could come soon.

Market and Options Update

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:48:00 +0000

Well, it looks like the options are less now. If the market rebounds form here, you could play AMZN but I like AAPL better. And we might revisit RIMM at these lower levels. Yes Droid will hurt RIMM at the Verizon stores, but I don't think MOT can produce enough to hurt RIMM for this much loss in market cap at least not short term.

I am finding the daily swings harder to catch but sense the touch coming back. You can still buy the dips and sell the rips. I think the options have repriced now and you can find your entry level on various stocks and make money. The price of volatility got sucked out but it appears to be staying for now that we are getting away from earnings, and the fed reports this week and we have been rallying the last few times. We also have a ton of economic data and I expect them to confirm the economic rebound will build on itself over time.

Look for Apple to go back up with resistance at 192 and 199-202. There maybe some resistance mid-way in the 195-196 area but we have already tested it once. Maybe one more test before breaking through if you are a trader.

Options Update

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:57:00 +0000

If you are still holding Amazon options now you are being greedy. Take profits and re-load again later. Take a look at the GS Nov180 calls. Use a tight stop, it's at the bottom of a channel and if support holds you will make good money, if not exit quickly and keep your loss small.

The Declining Dollar and Wealth Redistribution - Obama

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:00:00 +0000

Since the government is doing things to cause the dollar to go down and not supporting it, I got to thinking... is this another form of wealth redistribution? Think about it, those that have money now have less and those in debt the present value of their debt is less. Stealth Wealth Redistribution. These guys are good at what they do.

Amazon Beats and Soars

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:43:00 +0000

Amazon reports huge beat and soars after hours. I have been playing the calls on this stock but this is the first month I did not have any open, inadvertently. Congrats to all those who did.

If it clears 113-114 then it goes to 120. This market is toppy so I would take at least 1/4 profits to 1/2 if you are going to let any ride. We are heading into their best month December, but if you are in the calls they could go down after tomorrow when the volatility decreases unless the stock price continues higher. You will have to watch and decide. I would still take some off tomorrow for risk management. JMHO

Side note: Maybe it was all the Apple products they sold.

Deagol's Apple AAPL Model and Projections for Q4 2009

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:22:00 +0000

I could not locate Andy Zaky's most recent numbers, the one's you see are from 3 months ago I would imagine, but here is Deagol's model and projections, and not his valuations also. Fortune rated him highly. I cannot comment since I have not been following him but we need to start watching. He has a nice blog you will enjoy.

One of the best Apple Analyst -Turley Muller

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:32:00 +0000

Can't find a link to quickly direct you to but in August Muller projected earnings for Apple to be 1.55-1.65 using data through June and part of July info. From Fortune.com reporting Muller's estimates, they show him at 1.57 but they don't disclose from what month of data the estimate is based on. This is important due to the recent production problems that have since been resolved. I noticed the Fortune article was at the low end of his prior range so this maybe accounting for demand supply issues. If you have a recent link from him at it to the comments.

Oppeheimer & Piper Jaffray (Jene Munster) Slight Revenue Shortfall - Let me reword this - can't keep up with demand

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:19:00 +0000

Ok, headline Oppenheimer says Apple to miss on revenues, or Apple has supply problems and will miss on revenues. Even Munster at Piper Jaffray notes the same. But read deep and they both say "Apple cant keep up with demand" "could sell twice as many iphones if they had the supply" and then Oppy says "keep some powder dry because this means the last quarter of calendar 09 will benefit from any previous supply issues, and the issues appear to be resolved, but since they happened revs maybe a tad light. I did't not see an earnings miss from these two. below are links so you can read the details not just the headlines. Now that said, how will the media protray this and how the stock reacts may present opportunity. Really respect Munster and Oppy was way too low on earnings last time but they were fairly close on revenues. Here are the links.

New Products

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:46:00 +0000

Apple has been telling its customers that their inventory of mac minis and imac could be in short supply. In the past this means we have new versions coming out. Was expecting them to announce this this Tuesday, but it did not happen. Will they announce next Tuesday since none this week

I think they will use it to deflect attention to windows 7 launch.

Should the inventory notice not be about then the inventory notice is production related. We haven't had one in awhile. Let's hope it's not the latter here.

Back above 190 in AH.

Balmer UPODing Win7

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:32:00 +0000

Well Apple got past 189 190. Nice.

Balmer said not to expect much. Well at least he is trying to copy Apple UPOD now. Funny yesterday he used his son touting WIN7 then he says don't expect much. Did his son tell him this? Don't get mad at me, he used his son for publicity. That's pretty low and desperate.

Veizon and Google Deal Smeal

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:18:00 +0000

Verizon announces a deal to use Google phones. Problem is no pricing announce no phones announced, and supposedly two phones available before Christmas. So any they have will be sold out why wait. Verizon always announces phones they don't have available to keep people waiting so they don't switch carriers just waiting for their cool phone, oh did I say its not available.

Apple now using mutiple carriers in Canada announced today. Is Verizon next? Only if they give up control. Their Google deal if worth having would and if they do and their system is upgrade Apple would be there about the time these android phones show up. I think Android will help Motorola since their software has always been their weakness, along with not knowing how to make money as a company. Original flip my favorite phone owned before software mattered.

Apple To Revamp Macbook and Imac Anyday

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:46:00 +0000

Apple is reported to be close to updating the Macbook and Imac lines. If your in the market you might want to wait. Could be tomorrow. If so expect another pop in stock price. May hit some resistance close to 189 190. The refresh just mentioned could be enough if we get lucky on the timing to push it through that. Plus RIMMs troubles are Apples stock price gains.

The reported tablet Apple is working on should be a huge hit and add another growth driver next year when it is released. If this year look out. Polls show a large number of respondents would purchase a tablet from Apple. It was a higher indication than the Iphone before it was relesased and Apple had confirmed this. We are talking about an unconfirmed unseen product the public is really wanting.

The Market and Apple

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0000

Monday we will see a pullback in the morning it looks like. For you short term traders, here is your opportunity to buy the dip, this is the 4th day in a row of down if it is and I think the market and Apple as well comes back following this pullback for a rally from tomorrow. As always do your own DD. JMHO

Apple Stock Price

noreply@blogger.com (For Your Apple) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:16:00 +0000

Gotta love the recent to mid 180s. Sounds like the quarter is in the bag and with the dollar down we beat again. Waiting for accounting rule change, this will help but make future predictions harder due to gross margin changes. Good luck and protect your principle to stay in the game.
