MacDailyNews Take: As we said – just yesterday, in fact – “Wall Street is a game. Play it well or sit on the sidelines watching in bewilderment trying to decipher who’s playing whom and by what, if any, rules.”

  1. I’ve never really understood a “hold” recommendation right now. Either you should be in a position in a stock or you shouldn’t. If you should be in a position, and you aren’t, buy the stock. If you shouldn’t be in a position, and you are, sell the stock. “Hold” basically reflects an emotional attachment to a position (maintain the position because you have the position) that has no place in trading, and with a volatile stock like AAPL, the costs of changing positions (in terms of fees) is trivial compared to the upside/downside implications of holding a position out of inertia.

  2. The bulk of AAPL stock has been in institutional (mutual fund,etc:) hands since the near bankruptcy days before Jobs & Ipod. This week they dumped a big chunk into the market simultaneous with Apple’s record profit filing so they could use the $ to jump into financial stocks that have been beaten down and are likely to get Gov. bailouts soon. The big buyers will be back on AAPL as soon as their other investments cycle around. In the meantime, now is the time for the little people to get in at bargain basement prices.

  3. Cramer is a jerk, if he knew anything he wouldn’t be doing that hokey show. He would be buying and selling and becoming the next Rupert Murdoch…Apple is still running on all cylinders if you don’t believe just visit any Apple store. Just not on Sat or Sun because you might not be able to get in.

  4. “Leverage Down” is a neat little stock investors trick that works on nearly any good stock that’s been temporarily knocked down in a panic selloff. If you have a big holding that’s suddenly way in the red, you buy a few more shares at the lower price and then put in a limit order to sell the new shares at a small 2-5% up bounce. The result is that with the bounce, you get your new money back with a tiny profit and you leverage down the buy price of your original investment.

  5. In lieu of going to Vegas, I play the stock market. Speaking of gambling, in Moscow do they call it “Russian Roulette” or just “Roulette”? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”hmmm” style=”border:0;” />

  6. Cramer is an idiot!! He takes credit for all the gains in AAPL, but the second it tanks he says you should have taken profits. I remember him saying to buy at $99, then at $133 he said to sell..at $150 or so he again took credit for recommending the stock….same thing at $170, $180, and $190. He dumbass you said to sell at $133 you don’t get credit for anything above that. He also called AAPL one of his stocks of the year….now AFTER the collapse he’s saying you should have sold. He is a complete IDIOT …nothing more than a glorified snake oil salesman. Oh and don’t forget all this quick selling of stocks gets a 25% tax on gains—–he NEVER mentions this! Prick! Wait when AAPL is back up around $200 again & he’ll be saying I told you to buy at the beginning of the year.
