Hi C

We are talking about one of the best company in the world with a lot of cash. Everyone wanted this stock, but they just wanted lower price. When train is moving, they will jump back and fuel the train. Don't worry, you will be more than ok when Nov arrive.

Thanks again UP and Saleem for considerate thoughts on APPLE.... You all are truly kind souls--and I thanks you for your comments
Advice is always appreciated...... Seems like we never know all the angles and issues on a given stock or the market. It seems like a crap shoot at times.

And J Cramer is a Shrill, but I learn form him too.

Saleem,

Did you sell because you want to get profits before they disappear or because you anticipate there will be a sell off on the news? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Market is moving UP too fast....wise to book profit or to get rid of position which is lagging.

I expect market to move higher BUT after basing for few days.
