Most Recent Note for AAPL - 1/19/2011 12:19:36 PM Touched a new high earlier today. Closed in the upper third of its intra-day range after a gap down on the prior session led to it briefly testing support near prior highs and its 50 DMA line. The leader of the company with the second largest market cap announced a leave of absence due to personal health reasons. It found support above that important short-term average and wedged higher without great volume conviction in the interim since last noted in the 10/20/10 mid-day report - "If a proper base forms AAPL may be added to the Featured Stocks list again. Members should regularly review that page of most action-worthy ideas to stay abreast of the best buy candidates under the fact-based investment system."
