You've probably heard the news by now that AAPL has a better dividend yield than the 10 year treasury, but what do you think of the massive buyback program to distribute their cash? IMO, buyback is the way to do it in Tech, a little bit of a dividend is good, but tech is not a growth sector...

I will say its a good way to get some quick cut and dry perspective on what's going on during the day, but trying to ride the wave from being mentioned is next to impossible in practical terms, especially in stocks. People diss Cramer all the time. As one of the newer generation, I grew up...

I was watching them two days ago before NFLX earnings, and they mentioned the pre-earnings options trading going on. I double leveraged it in my simulated portfolio and made 45% overnight (no way I'd do that with my own dollars). A bit of luck and a lot of intuition with the help of CNBC can go...

I stumbled upon this definition on investopedia (keep in mind I'm very new to the world of FOREX): Japanese Housewives Definition | Investopedia This sounds absurd to me, is this real? Sounds like an April Fool's joke to me. Have any of you seen the effects of this firsthand? Thanks, LM

The bearish volume bursts along with the painfully downward trend (looks like a descending triangle to me on the 1y and 3m) don't suggest a good mid-term technical play to me. AAPL's fundamentals could really stand to improve on just about any product announcement (iphone 5s June launch? iTV...

I don't think AAPL would be a great macro indicator for 2013, its been a lot more bullish lately than most other sectors--then again, I can't tell you why financials and manufacturing are doing as well as they are. If I was going to chart for a collapse prediction on one stock (and I wouldn't)...

I think it's ignorant for even the most purist fundamental investors to discard indicators and oscillators because all that they are, are the derivatives of past price action; which comes from the supply and demand of the security, therefore affecting the fundamentals of the stock at any given...

Anyone out there have know of any long-term studies on the effectiveness of different oscillators (for predictive value) pitted against each other and their weaknesses/advantages? Each security has a different model for which its price moves, but I'd really like to see a complete and thorough...

What are you seeing that suggests it has hit the top? Job's exit a couple years ago may have triggered its recent lack of ingenuity, but I think the fundamentals of the stock are only getting better since late October. Apple has a shot of putting the final nail in the coffin of what used to be...

Re: President Signals Compromise: Holy Guacamole Yes, Obama saying anything about the cliff at this point should make the S&P rise, but should this continue over the next week and a half, look for the diminishing effects and watch for the markets to turn negative when he talks. Nice job on the...

It's no that OS is moving the markets--its limiting them. Apple is just simple a mid-term play at the moment. Unless there is some great technical analysis to suggest otherwise, it's really going to be for better or for worse, a steadier climb than most of us would prefer. I'd be looking on a 2...

Because the OS game right now is Apple vs. everything else, tech will have greater correlation and move up if we see some decent Q4 retail sales. For this reason, I think to short apple right now would be like holding REW at this moment... In my book, that's a bad bet.

We can look all day at the potential overvalue that a brand as big as apple could have, but they still simply have the best and most innovative products on the market. Apple is not trendy the same way it used to be--it's just plain functional, though. Albeit sales will not be the same as they...

(At the risk of sounding totally ridiculous) JC Penney, if you see retail numbers for Q4 beating expectations. I think the black friday/early Christmas sales point to it. As a long-term play it absolutely sucks, but I think it has the most of the retailers to gain from a better-than-expected 4th...
