IPHONE SUPPLIER DELIVERS BAD NEWS FOR APPLE $AAPL $ARMH

The designer of processors for Apple’s iPhone, United Kingdom-based ARM Holdings, reported earnings Tuesday in a mostly positive call, but there was one comment with regard to a drop in future high-end smartphone sales that may give potential buyers of Apple pause.

After adjusting for extraordinary items, earnings for ARM Holding came at GBP0.05 compared to consensus of GBP0.06; revenues came at GBP189.1 million vs.… Please click here or the title below to read more.

This post was just published on ZYX Short Change Alert.

Adding a 10% tranche to natural gas in the zone of $5.60 to $5.95. NGH4 is trading at $5.69 as of this writing. Consider adding another 10% if natural gas spikes in the zone of $6.35 to $6.75.

Those using ETFs, equivalent on UNG for this 10% tranche is $27.80 to $28.90. UNG is trading at $28.02 as of this writing.
