Shutdown?

APPLE warning?

FED hikes?

20% bear market decline from top?

CHINA weakness?

CHINA/US trade war?

MUELLER probe?

etc etc etc 

and yet the market has not crashed today and in the post-cash session! 

 

WHY?

 

I will be buying QQQ calls & a few tech stocks on any decline from here one.

The main reason why it's not crashing more like 2009 is......monthly MACD is still above zero.  Alot of margin to zero in many cases depending on the chart.

From the weekend, I noticed a large open weekly gap on the QQQ, NDX chart further down below current levels......around April 2017.  This may be the target the bears are shooting at.  The corresponding gap on the DJIA and SPX charts was covered that month.  Apple not helping the cause after hours.

It is, relax and give it time.

 

You witnessed a top for the ages. Watch it unfold.

Multiple FX Pairs Suddenly Flash Crashing, Bond Yields Tumbling

"In what some have suggested is a chained liquidation stemming from the collapse of AAPL shares after-hours, multiple FX pairs are flash-crashing across the globe amid still low liquidity conditions in what appears to have been the unwind of a pair trade where an AAPL long was "hedged" with a basket of FX carry longs.

USDJPY just flash-crashed a stunning 4 handles (the biggest drop since 2009 according to Reuters) to its lowest in over two years, as the JPY was suddenly panic bid against the USD, as the pair tumbled from 109 to as low as 104.87."

 

I hope to see S&P Futures near 2400 when I start trading at about 6am tomorrow

Will load on APPLE calls if stock reaches $135; will by a few even if it gets to $140

 

 

Apple Bulls Prepare To Defend The Red Zone by macromon

The market has spoken.

Apple stock has taken out the Christmas Eve low at $146.59 in tonight's after-hours trading.   Tough to gauge the true conviction until tomorrow's open.

Nevertheless,  the Apple bulls, which includes Mr. Buffett, need to move into prevent defense here and take an Alamo-like stand to gallantly defend the red zone at $134.54 to $142.20.   A break of the goal line at $134.54 opens up some big downside.

Don't count out the hammer to really come down on Jay Powell and the Fed now.   He is due to speak on Friday.

Apple truly dropped the ball by depending on financial engineering and inflation -- i.e., buybacks and increasing revenues by raising iPhone prices -- to increase its stock price and.  Investors are now paying the price.

 

Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave with Tim's cave to Uncle Carl.  Mr. Cook is now left to defend Apple's purchase of the stock, some at much higher prices, while Uncle Carl is probably lounging on a beach somewhere in the Carribean.

We love the company and the product but not the stock quite yet.

Stay tuned.
