    FWIW, I bailed on my AAPL stocks last Thursday.

    And today I'm glad I did. Will I buy back in? I don't know yet. If I do it's going to be a while. No set up in sight right now. Again, my opinion only.

    Great job!

    $550 looks like a good spot to re-enter - if it can get there. I'm not sure we'd be lucky enough to see the gap near $425 get filled.

    I like to roll the dice on Apple before earnings when the stock hasn't run up into the report. This looks like one of those times. I will re-evaluate next Tuesday right before they release.

    Yup... bet the big money is taking its lumps right now and slowly buying on the way down in anticipation of that report. Usually that put/call ratio would be a tell but I don't think they're gonna give us a detailed forecast right now. Good luck either way.

    Looks like a few people saw a price they liked. Hope it continues. There's some room to grow and time before earnings

    OK, I just took the plunge at $561 this morning.

    Yesterday's reversal day looked promising, but today's sell-off is concerning. At least I got in at a little lower, but I'm not crazy about the action this morning. Buy fear, sell euphoria, right?

    Good luck Tom -- hope you end up in the green. Now, to add to that sick feeling you got... a chart:

    Hope it works out for you -- just remember, it isn't a trade if your stomach isn't churning.

    Thanks, I think. $550 was my initial target to start buying, but $561 is just a rounding error.

    The problem is, the next buying area is probably $425. A poor report and that could be a reality.

    Just curious. Are you looking at this as an entry point for a long-term holding or hoping to play a potential gap up? I reckon the latter but am still curious.

    Good luck, Tom! I thought I would look at it again if it got to about $545.... I do think this is just a correction but it's a scary stock. Right now none of my favorites seem appealing. I don't have any AAPL, PCLN, MNST, CMG. Probably going to wish I did have at least one of them one of these days, but that seems like the nature of the beast.

    Apple is not a bad one to hold - it has a very low P/E and now pays a dividend, but like almost all of my stock play, it will be a short term trade.

    It's certainly a momentum stock so the low valuation won't matter in the short-term. Right now it's just a matter of will their earnings be another blow-out, like they usually are, and will their guidance be enough to satify investors? Being oversold going into the report helps, but it's a gamble.
