Most Recent Note - 9/28/2018 12:38:49 PM Y - Perched near its all-time high. Held its ground in a tight range in recent weeks. New pivot point cited was based on its 8/27/18 high plus 10 cents.

The recent low ($818 on 9/17/18) and 50 DMA line ($813) define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 9/4/2018.
