Why stock did not sell off

    the chart setup is SPX is no different that Gold. Both have divergence and both have been rallying on the possibility of a QE3 stimulus. Yet gold sold off and Stocks did not...But if past is any indication then the sell off in stocks is not too far away. It needs a catalyst which i am not sure what it is yet.

    The catalyst is AAPL.  Once

    The catalyst is AAPL.  Once that parabolic mania ends, the sell-off will begin IMO.  I just saw an article on marketwatch by Cody Willard (I'm sure they are everywhere) about why AAPL hitting $1000 is a sure thing.  Mom and Pop will look at AAPL at $500 and see it as a guaranteed way to double their money.

    AAPL to $1000? I remember in 2000 when QCOM jumped by $150 in 1 day when an analyst issued a $1000 price target. That was the blowoff high for QCOM, the tech bubble, and my net worth.
