To say that today’s trade was slow is an understatement of massive proportions. It was so slow; it is hard to imagine how it could get any worse. People have a natural tendency to wonder why this happens and the only reason for today must have been the impending AAPL and IBM earning announcements. Both were very good. AAPL earnings were better than expected. Can it already be priced in or is it going to $400/share? Q1 revenue USD 26.74bln vs. Exp. USD 24.42bln Q1 Macs sold 4.13mln, up 23% Q1 iPhone sold 16.24mln, up 86% Q1 gross margin 38.5% vs. Exp. 37.3% Q1 iPods sold 19.45mln, down 7% Q1 iPads sold 7.33mln Sees Q1 revenue about USD 22bln vs. Exp. 20.87bln, sees Earnings at $4.90 on expectations of $4.47 IBM… Q4 revenue USD 29.02bln vs. Exp.

One wonders if Globex traders will take the baton and run with it into that range. If so, what’s next? Oh, never mind. There are POMO operations every day but 2 this month so it’s up, up & away! Trade well and follow the trend, not the so-called “experts.” Behold the age of infinite moral hazard!
