Most Recent Note for AAPL - 4/23/2010 12:10:53 PM Still rising since its 4/21/10 gap up for new all-time highs well above $250 following the release of strong results for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009. The 4/16/10 mid-day report described it as "extended from any sound base" while since its powerful breakaway gap on 3/05/10 it steadily climbed. Previously noted - "It showed accelerating sales and earnings increases for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009 and rebounded impressively since 'Apple, Once Sweet, Now Rotten!' headlined follow-up coverage of this previously featured favorite with a stellar annual earnings (A criteria) history. Its 900 million shares outstanding is a huge supply (S criteria), making the fact that recent quarterly comparisons have shown impressive earnings and sales acceleration that much more impressive! Quarterly growth has improved meaningfully, and it is again looking more like the big winning examples shown in the book 'How to Make Money in Stocks' with regard to the C criteria of the proven investment system."
