Apple's shares are technically bearish |
A technical look at Apple's stock shows the shares bearishly below both the 50 and 200 day moving average. A recent rally found resistance at the 50 day line and the shares turned down from there, a sign of further declines to come. Additionally, volume on the rally from $505 to $600 was low indicating that the true trend could be lower. COR Clearing, a stock clearinghouse, raised its margin requirement on Apple's shares to 60% from 30%. That means that those wanting to buy the stock on margin, or with borrowed money, must put up twice as much cash as before. Meanwhile, Apple executives have been selling shares to beat a capital gains tax increase that takes effect on January 1st. With that in mind, we could see more executives dumping the stock in the next few weeks. Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue just sold 15,000 shares for $8.76 million shares.
Munster remains bullish on Apple's shares as he continues his Overweight rating with a price target of $900.

The shares are still too much. They cost almost as much as an unsubsidized nexus 4. So much for apple being the first trillion dollar company

Unsubsidized price is $350 in the Play store.
550 is just some stupid price tag in T-Mobile.

Listen to this guy Munster and risk losing your house, all speculation he says has only 1 purpose: keeping Apple's stock price up.
I think the market simply reacts to disappointing iPhone and iPad sales.

Sometimes I wonder what's more manipulated, Apple stock prices or the price of coffee. Hard to tell at times.

NO different than Goldman Sachs influencing the election - these analysts have a purpose in mind when reporting their predictions....

Apple has been grossly over inflated for years. For investors' sakes I am glad it hasn't crashed completely, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it lost 99% of its value. $5.38/share sounds more accurate for such a low-volume company, even with their insane markups.

Look at their P/E and P/E/G and say that with a straight face. Apple made more than Microsoft, Google, Ebay, Yahoo, and Amazon, combined, in FY12.

'Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue just sold 15,000 shares for $8.76 million shares.'
Does Eddy know something that others do not? Inside information?
