AAPL Against $200

A friend posted a picture of Apple Store traffic on December 25th in New York City (posted by SP97330 on the TIE Board). Yes, on Christmas. The place apparently was a mob scene.

The stock is reacting in a similar fashion, although $200 seems hard to break today. We are right up against the top of the Bollinger Band and need a 1-2 day rest before going higher.

I sold half my AAPL calls near the close on Monday (based on the Bollinger situation), but was able to roll those calls over to February and a new strike price ($195) this morning when it opened lower. If we break $200, expect a lot of buying to kick-in to propel it even higher.

It is also worth noting that the S&P and Nasdaq are holding tough above 1490 and 2700 two hours into trading. Holding those numbers today is important for the week.

Happy Holidays everyone!
