MSFT - the steady, mature, stable the kind of company that enjoys massive, constant, revenue streams year after year.
VS
AAPL - the speculative, constantly changing, company that can gain or lose its competitive advantage very quickly
Or in numbers. In 5 years:
S&P500: -17.98%
MSFT: -20.35%
AAPL:+868.00%
Steady! Ain't it?
Here is the chart showing possible breakdown @120.00. Breakdowns (opposite of breakouts) occur when double top or head and shoulders pattern's last leg drops below previous low. I am not saying here this is what MUST happen. It is just warning for consideration as when breakdowns do occur things move fast.

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. In Technical Analysis, a most favorable setup for reversal of direction. Crossovers are like an avalanches, once at the cross, very few technical investors/traders are

If there is anything that moves the economy and therefor the stock market, it is consumer spending. As long as consumers spend, companies keep producing stuff and make money. When they will keep making money, they will keep employing people which in turn will create more income to be spent and so on.
Consumer spending got hit in 2008 in part by the huge increase in gasoline

It wouldn't be HTF if he didn't have to include some dem conspiracy in any negative event on continental US and Hawaii (Alaska is safe). From technical stand point there is very simple explanation. Remember technical analysis doesn't try to analyze why something happened, just what are the chances that market or individual stock will continue higher, stays same or goes lower

Technology and alternative energy will be most probably big winners over the next couple of months. I talked to some of you and you already made some bets on clean energy. PBW ETF will do probably very well. It is currently quite overbought on daily stochastic, so it may see small pullback before it goes further up. Barack's victory is in part due to the great use of

AAPL although up is actually acting quite weak so far today. It is showing signs of being at overbought levels in short term frame, with stochastic currently at over 80% on daily charts. At the same time market seems to be responding overwhelmingly well to indications of Obama's win and pushing AAPL up. There are two possibilities forming here. There is possible stochastic
Here is what I think, not only in terms of TA but also in terms of strategy into the earnings.
DIA. If you look at today's daily chart on DIA it's MACD is closing up on bullish cross. Fast line is nicely curving up. Today's action caused stochastic to stop downslope and recross bullish on around 45%! That signals strength. This market didn't want to go down to 20% or 5% as it
