Good Call... back up Today !<br><br>David (OFI)

up $14.50 this morning. This is insane <br><br><br>a weak dollar is more powerful than a successful launch of 10.5, iPhones in the UK and Europe with Asia coming up shortly. Apple seems to be doing everything right, and so a 20% drop in less than a month is painful to witness. <br>

Yeah ...sucky part is that it was up to 160 pre-open. So I ended up getting my shares at 160.98<br><br>153 would have been nice!<br><br>zweisoft<br>

The shares are up to $169 as of 3 PM. Good thing you bought when you did. <br><br>Just to rub it in. A volatile market like this is why I strongly suggested to have NO stop/sell. You would lose in a market that is acting this nuts. Markets aren't performing as normal. No sector has been safe. I'm VERY well diversified on a global scale and I still took a beating. Every sector sucks. Even emerging markets and European markets have sunk. Let there be no doubt now. The US economy rules. If it is sick then every other market suffers.<br><br>

<br>It will be interesting to see what happens<br>to the speculator's market since the new<br>owner of Dow Jones & the Wall St Journal<br><br><br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green> [color:green]. . . _ _ _ . . .</font color=green><br>

I was thinking about waiting another day to see if it would go down a little further ...even though I didn't get full rebound I am glad I got in when I did. <br><br>zweisoft<br>
