MSFT - the steady, mature, stable the kind of company that enjoys massive, constant, revenue streams year after year.

First, have a look at technicals that preceded the situation. On 3 months/daily charts DIA (ETF that tracks DJIA), QQQQ (ETF that tracks Nasdaq) and AAPL itself were at the bullish cross on daily stochastic.
