Steve Jobs and AAPL

    Posted by matt on 5th of Oct 2011 at 09:10 pm

    Rest in Peace Steve Jobs! we lost an genius, icon...

    let's take a look at the charts of AAPL on the big picture decade, weekly, daily, 60 min

    12 year weekly chart - AAPL has been in an uptrend for a long time now, it's possibly forming a large wedge pattern, long term support is the uptrend line from 2003.  Also it's amazing how during the 2008 - Mar 2009 bear market retraced an exact 61.8% where it found support for the next mega run to the $400's.  Also with any company, just when you think a company is unstoppable, it tops and something else replaces it, consider MSFT, IBM, others.  Eventually this pattern will break down.

    Weekly linear chart- logical support is the uptrend line from the 2009 lows, watch the 60 length stochastics, crossing below the support line I drew in the high 70's would be a negative

    Weekly log chart- support is the lower trendline.  

    Daily Chart- Shows you the recent bear wedge pattern that broke down with negative divergence.  Recently it bounced off the 200 day MA (very logical).  Now the broken uptrend line is resistance.  Also see the previous Elliot Wave example.

    60 min chart- Resistance is the trendline, as well as the Fibs

    My wife did some work

    My wife did some work for Steve some years back. Their meetings were vintage Jobs; tee shirt, shorts, sandles, feet on the desk. She exchanged email with him for a few years after that. It was impressive that he was accessible and that he kept contact with people. She will be very sad to hear that he is gone. Why do we have to loose so many of the best who make our lives so much richer?

    That's very nice to here

    This is very sad news. I've been an Apple user and an Apple investor for 25 years. About 2 weeks ago I got a new iMac. My review was that Steve Jobs was sicker than I thought. May he rest in peace and may his vision live on. He was a true genius.

    My roomate in grad school picked up a 20MB external harddrive, and we all thought he was a nutty on the edge guy, living on the bloody edge of technology.

    I kept that one, the SE and a MAC II in my "MAC hall of fame". Prior to that I worked on the Lisa at a client's office. They were amazing machines. Oh, don't forget the Newton. Wow.

    I met my husband about 22 years ago and he just bought computer for 10,000 dollars. I remember that he showed me a virus a ping pong game it was amazing, never saw computer before. Looking back, he should have put the money in APPLE stock, what a sad story to loose such a talented man in prime of his life
