AAPL - NASDAQ - COMPUTER HARDWARE - Personal Computers Apple Inc	$591.16	-14.07 -2.32%	$610.28	$644.00	-8.20%	18,546,408 78.71%	23,564,300
Most Recent Note for AAPL - 4/16/2012 11:46:33 AM Retreating from its all-time high with today's 5th consecutive loss. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, however, this well-known tech leader is very extended from any sound base pattern, making it a risky candidate. Prior notes acknowledged the considerable rally since the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern. Companies currently on the "Featured Stocks" list are the most ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming too heavily owned by the institutional crowd.
