Analyzing Apple (AAPL) and 2012 Dow Outperformers

Scott Redler
Jan 18, 2012, 6:03 PM

I stopped by the Nasdaq today to do a couple quick videos with one of my Morning Call co-hosts Jill Malandrino.

 

In the first video, We looked at Dow Jones outperformers so far in 2012, and I analyzed technically which ones I think can carry that momentum through the rest of the year.

 

 

In the second spot we went over the chart of Apple (AAPL), which made historic all-time highs today. The stock has made a strong run into upcoming earnings, forecasting a likely strong quarter. The company had its first earnings miss in the last 12 quarters in its most recent report, but I attribute much of that to people waiting for the iPhone 4S. All indications are that sales of the 4S have greatly exceeded expectations, and could be the centerpiece of a strong 4th quarter.

 

We also went over how to use NASDAQ Alpha Index Options for a trade.
