Apple pie

When you have a stock and it goes the wrong direction, and you hear yourself saying, I 'HOPE' it will start to turn around... well, then, that's the time to sell it.

Well, there was the ipod, then the ipad, then the iphone and now storms in the icahn.
Apple now going against it's biggest challenge. Icahn twits a single statement: Lauching a website to get Apple to unload it's horde of  150 billion  in cash. Icahn has pushed my buttons and won more battles than lost. He goes after the buffoons in the boardrooms. Icahn smells the cash and see it just sitting there, in Apple's golden chambers. Icahn thinks management is doing ok but the problem are the board members. Icahn said those fellows have no idea of finance. Here's what I think. Icahn, unlike the early past, is going to go public and push and push apple to unload most of it's 150 billion of cash and if apple doesn't cooperate, will get some other billionaires to join in and force apple's board to have a election to either force some of the members out and bring in his own.

Icahn opened his website on Thursday which displayed the letter sent to AAPL ceo Cook regarding the buyout request. Icahn also indicated he's up his shares in AAPL by 22%.  Icahn also sees a 1250 target for AAPL if it does the buyout recommendation.
                                      


The stock portfolio is listed below.  I started the portfolio in May, 2013 using a price action strategy and it is doing quite well, take a look !

The 'Game' is to win

Winning is  ...      finding Momentum , grabbing it, profiting from it, and then releasing it.

I plan to discuss three of the  best classic books ever written about the market in later editions. At this point, I will name the three:
 
The Money Game by Adam Smith   (George Goodman)
 
The Battle for Investment Survival ,  G. M. Loeb
 
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator -  Jesse L Livermore , by Edwin Lefevre
 
There are major points in the above three books that I have incorporated in my trading. There are other books and I will state those in time.
 
I am neither a short term investor nor a long  term investor. I prefer to state it as a smart term investor. I have bought and sold stocks the same day and I have kept stocks long term (AAPL I bought in 2009 and still hold). It depends on the stock. My only concern is to have profit gain on a consistent basis.
 
 
 
10:15am  AAPL (Apple).  News item:  " In the near future, Apple is expected to release a connected wristwatch, entering the market of wearable computers. Gartner, the research firm, has estimated that market  could be worth $10 billion in three years."

: Annualized rate of return calculation. 
 
It is shown on the first and  last page of the portfolio spreadsheet. It is based on an average portfolio cost basis  of $80,000. More times than not I am below that amount.  My rules as stated at the beginning of our blog site is that I will not have more than $100,000 at risk at any given time and no more than 12 equities in the portfolio.
 
 My annualized return is based on a 365 year, the formula is provided by Google Drive spreadsheet software.
 The rate will be calculated each day after market closing.

Price... follow the Price.. Money does and money flows to where money grows. I don't care about moving averages of any kind or flavor. I have no clue what oversold or overbought means nor do I care. Even volume numbers can be deceptive. I look at Price. Price is the result of the entire spectrum thoughts of those who are buying and selling stocks. Price is true. Price is honest. Price at any given time  provides the result of anyone's and everyone's  analysis, comments, posts, blogs, manipulations, media news, etc etc etc.

I don't have the time or inclination to purchase an entity and see if it's a winner in 5 years. My preference is to find out in 5 minutes. I love to purchase a stock that hits a first time new high, whether  the new high is a 52wk high, a yearly high, an all-time high ..because... the odds are that it's more than likely to continue to hit even more highs. The 'first new high' is likely to be the lowest high.
 
 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 
 Don't get snaked into making a decision based on someone's analysis or expectations. Instead based your purchase on price movement.
 
 
 
 
Are you watching the hot  stocks ?

She wondered and looked deep inside, to the child who dreams of a colorful world, full of iridescent pastel colors, a world in which reigns a single law - that of love and harmony and being obsessed with memories of childhood thrills and excitement.
