Kudrna's Stock Market Talk

Quote of the Day:

It is mind-boggling that we could do this well

Tim Cook – Apple CEO (more…)

In the StockTalk posted Monday 4/16 before market opened, I pointed out that AAPL stock price faced the first real serious challenge since the uptrend started on 12/5/2011. (more…)

Apple’s (AAPL) stock price went above $600 land mark twice (3/15 and today 3/19) in recent days and closed at $601.1 today. What a historical day for AAPL! (more…)

Apple had a good day today (3/13). The stock gapped up
and closed up 2.9%, leaving an unfilled gap from yesterday.
The volume was heavier than the last three days. It also
outperformed major indexes: S&P 500 was up 1.8%, QQQ
was up 1.9% and technology ETF XLK was up 2.0%. (more…)

Apple’s stock pulled back from all-time high today with a
loss of 2.31% on above-average volume. Regardless of
the news events that may have triggered the sell off,
the following daily chart shows Apple also hit the middle
line of an up-trending yellow channel today and pulled
back from it. If Apple continues to go down, the next
support is $475 area. If Apple can reverse its course,
it could at least reach $580 area. (more…)

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) showed a sign of strength
today as it went down with the market. The volume
was below 10-day moving average. This is in contrast
to AAPL and QQQ that were hit hard with well-above
average volume. This means there is no panic selling
for ISRG, at least for today. (more…)

Quote of the Day:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein – German Theoretical Physicist (more…)

Quote of the Day:

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates

Black Eyed Peas (more…)

Quote of the Day:

I don’t think we’ll come to any results tonight. The negotiations have made progress but we’re not there yet.

Apple (AAPL) had a good day today; it was up 1.7%
while the market S&P 500 was up 0.2%, QQQ ETF was
