Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 5/17/11 mid-day report - 'Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings, however sub par sales revenues growth has been a concern while increases have been in the +7-11% range.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 2/16/2012 11:40:07 AM Small gap down today following a worrisome "negative reversal" for a loss with heavy volume on the prior session that broke a streak of 8 consecutive gains into new high territory.

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 2/16/2012 11:45:10 AM Off the session's high after gapping up and spiking to a new all-time high while on track today for a 4th consecutive volume-driven gain. Found support at its 50 DMA line on its pullback after it technically broke out of a previously noted orderly base pattern. Noted in prior mid-day reports - " Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."
