Apple - Barchart's Chart of the Day

Apple (AAPL) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The stock has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 57.49+ and gained 50.24% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day is Apple (AAPL).  I found the stock by sorting the New High list for frequency in the last month, then used the Flipchart feature to find the chart I liked.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 4/24 the stock gained 16.14%.

AAPL is engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, and portable digital music players. The Company's products and services include iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod, Apple TV, a portfolio of consumer and professional software applications, the iOS and Mac OS X operating systems, iCloud, and a range of accessory, service and support offerings. It sells its products worldwide through its online stores, its retail stores, its direct sales force, third-party wholesalers, and resellers.

Over on Motley Fool the vote by individual investors for AAPL to beat the market is 28,589 to 2,2294.  The more experienced All Stars voted 5,821 to 184 for the same result.  Fool lumps analysts and columnists into one category  and they voted 66 to 4 for the same result.

When every body's right, then every body's wrong.  Apple is very volatile but normally trends up.  AAPL will make money; the question is how much?  This is a good stock to play the trends and you can make a good chunk of change playing the 100 day moving average on this one.
