Trouble Knocking On Stock Bull’s Door, An AAPL A Day? / Companies / Tech Stocks
Trouble appears to be brewing for a weakening bull trend in stocks. Starting with the higher times frames, which are more controlling over daily and intra day, those charts followed by most traders, we see a rising wedge that is indicating a trend running out of demand effort.

Apple APPL Stock Options Implied Volatility Can Lead to Profits / Companies / Tech Stocks
The recent massive sell off in AAPL stock has presented some interesting opportunities for low risk trades. For long time readers of this column, you may recognize that my portfolio usually contains an AAPL position.
Why? I cannot overemphasize the importance of trading liquid instruments, and in the current world, very few underlying issues have options with the degree of liquidity routinely available in a wide spectrum of strike prices and expiration dates.

Apple Stock Regression Analysis Price Forecast 2013 / Companies / Tech Stocks
Apple is in a bearish condition at the moment, with swirling questions about its management changes, product roll-outs, and competition, as well as the 2012 Christmas shopping season. There is also the possibility that some of the current selling pressure may be due to an extra level of year-end selling due to upper income investors deciding to realize profits before the increased gains taxation expected in 2013.

Apple Stock Earnings Must Deliver in December / Companies / Tech Stocks
David Zeiler writes: Even though Apple Inc.'s (Nasdaq: AAPL) earnings for Q4 aren't yet out - they'll be announced after Thursday's market close - the company is much more concerned with beating last year's spectacular December quarter, the company's fiscal first quarter.
Apple's Q1 earnings last year blew past all expectations. Apple earned $13.87 per share - more than doubling the profit from the year-earlier quarter -- by selling a record 37 million iPhones and 11 million iPads.

Will Facebook Stock Price Crash to $5? / Companies / Tech Stocks
Will Facebook soon be a $5 stock?
Facebook has seen a tsunami of selling by insiders since May 17 when its IPO raised $16 billion for insiders, early investors and the firm. Its share price nosedived from $38 to $19.52, around half its IPO price, as of close of business on October 15. There will be even stronger downward price pressures on the stock before year-end.
Investors who bought when Facebook was still private sold enough shares at the IPO to make many multiples of their original investments: Goldman Sachs, Greylock Partner, and Microsoft combined sold 38.5 million shares for more than $1.4 billion. Peter Thiel invested $500,000 in Facebook; since the IPO he's sold all but 5.6 million of his original 44 million in stages to cash out around $1 billion.

Riots Over Rotten Apple Mania / Companies / Tech Stocks
You may know someone who is part of the rampage. It could be a neighbor or even a family member. Even in some circumstance, you yourself might be part of the wow rage. No, we are not talking about dunking for apples or eating from the forbidden fruit. This riot is all about living a virtual life in the ether zone of personal numbness, disguised in the appearance of being cool. Life without an iPhone to these cutting end "Efficiency Experts" is not worth living. This is the new economy and progress dictates that connecting to the world of texting is the most important function of daily existence.

Apple Stock Fundamental Earnings, Price and Dividend Analysis / Companies / Tech Stocks
Apple Inc (AAPL) is one of the most high profile stocks in the world. Regarding its valuation, people are often confused by its high price. However, even though the price is high, Apple’s valuation is significantly lower than its historical earnings growth rate, and more importantly, its forecast growth. Consequently, we believe that this high profile growth stock that has recently began paying a dividend, is undervalued at these levels.

It's all possible today, thanks to a new type of tech called Near Field Communications (NFC).
