AAPL -3% On Way To New "Generational Low"?

Tyler Durden's picture




We warned last night of the spike in average trade size yesterday in AAPL's trading - just as we also saw on 9/21 - and the fading VWAP ramps; and today we see AAPL -3% (-6.7% from its highs on Monday) as volume picks up and the renaissance appears to be ending. WWJTD?

Short-term AAPL is down 3% today and -6.7% from Monday's highs - having

 

And broken back below its 250DMA on heavy volume ($556.60 seems a line in the sand for the close)

 

and we are testing a key VWAP level...

We are going to get a death cross on AAPL at $540 support.  Clever.

I went to the Apple store in Regent St in London last week. There was a foul stench of smug in the air.

And I couldn't believe the amount of arabs and chinese teenagers literally buying 3 or 4 iphone's in one go. Oh yeah, I'll have a spare one, too.

Nope: All the teenagers I know seem to be `over` Apple. In fact a lot of them seem to be bored with comms gadgetry and facebook - at last. my eldest recently found a long abandoned Nokia and said `this is kool - it just does phone calls and texts? perfect`. perhaps less is more afterall !

I hate this stock. My dad is a muppet and got convinced by some hot shot fancy broker go all in with huge leverage at 680 (more to pay commissions on). He got stopped out and ended up losing over 130K. I warned him from the very beginning, but he didn't listen to me (despite my experience in the industry). Sad thing, is there are tons of people out there just like my dad, getting rolled by this stupid casino.

Keep in mind that AAPL is still up more than 40% YTD. There is a lot of tax-related selling going on here to take advantage of the 15% capital gains rate while it is still in effect.

When will AAPL pull their head out and make a phone with a nice big screen like Samsung. They're idiots for not having done so already. What are they possibly thinking

I don't own any Apple and have no intention of owning any, but a friend of mine (yes, he's into Apple) said the reason they haven't done so is so that one hand can be used to hold it and manipulate it. And, I have to say, that does make sense.

My new samsung galaxy note2 is huge and i love it.  It has pen stylus that writes as naturally as real pen.

As far as one handed operation, I can do fine.  But they do have a one handed setting that shrinks the keyboard/phone pad etc...a bit and moves it to left or right side of screen whichever you prefer.

The voice input is super slick and accurate.  Press one button and dicate documents, emails, texts etc...

battery life? up to 2 days.    thin and light phone.  still fits in pocket.

The thing is slick.    I'd never consider an iphone until they match the galaxy note2 in screen size, voice input, stylus input etc...

I think the point is AAPL needs more variation on the iPhone screen size. They've done it with the iPad. What's the hold-up on the iPhone?? Makes no sense, really it doesn't. I don't care if you have large hands or tiny hands, give the buyer a choice.

Because Steve jobs said so and nobody will cross him postumously.   He was maniacal that the device had to be easily operated one handed.   Who says two handed isn't better ? heheh.

He has already been proven wrong.  The hubris of apple is catching up to them.

Samsung has a setting where you can move the keyboard to the left or right side of screen for easier one hand operation.  

Plus, the voice input is so damn accurate you don't even need to type hardly anything anymore.

I suspect this will be coming next year - Apple version of the Galaxy Note.

In the past year I have seen numerous female friends move from the iphone to the note - girlies can keep them in their hand-bags.

Lol this thing peaked out in September and is in terminal decline. Look at the run up, that was a mania and had nothing to do with fundamentals. Sure it dead cat bounced, when suckers thought they would 'BTFD'. Lol good luck, mark my words, Apple will lose 66% from its peak of $700. Don't believe me? Good, just stay tuned and see.
