In stock trading, twin practices have coexisted for ages. First, a large number of investors enter stop-loss orders to protect themselves. Second, such stop-loss orders become sitting ducks for some professionals. In the past, it was a common complaint that market makers and brokers tended to run the stops. These days hunt-and-destroy algorithms have evolved to run down the stops. Such algorithms simply try to guess where the stops are grouped, and if stops are hit, the algorithms take advantage, first, by short-selling and then buying to cover. The complexities are overly simplified here to illustrate the point. Apple Is
As some investors face jitters about how low Apple (AAPL) stock can go, astute investors have been enjoying handsome profits in Apple competitors Nokia (NOK) and Research In Motion (RIMM). Since August, Nokia stock has beaten Apple stock by 182%; Research In Motion stock has beaten Apple by 98%. The chart tells the story. Yesterday Research In Motion stock was very strong based on the report that the company has received 1500 apps for its upcoming BB 10 operating system in less than two days. There is no information available as to the quality of these apps but the market did not care. Nokia has
It was not long ago that teens flocked to Apple (AAPL) products because they were ‘cool.’ iPods were first adopted by teens and then migrated to their parents. Of late, Apple is losing its ‘cool factor.’ As innocuous as it may seem, the perception of the loss of ‘cool’ has increased the long-term risk in Apple stock. Recently Forbes quoted Buzz Marketing Group in stating that young are turning away from Apple as they do not perceive it as cool. According to the group, Apple is not connecting with Millennial Kids.

According to Nikkei, Apple has asked Japan Display, Inc., Sharp Corp, and LG Display to cut the orders for the iPhone 5 screens by about one half. According to the report Apple has also cut orders for other iPhone components. Previously extremely bullish Apple investors are so jittery now that in the premarket they sold the stock below $500. Also sold off were Apple component suppliers such as
Gadget aficionados, get used to the name ‘Youm.’ Youm is the name of a new technology developed by Samsung that incorporats organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. This technology produces displays that are flexible and bendable. Samsung claims that the displays will be nearly unbreakable. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung showed a prototype device incorporating Youm. The screen on the device extended to the edge of the device so that if the device was put flat on a table with the cover on it, the edge would still display an incoming text or email. Samsung also brought
Rumors of a cheap iPhone in the range of $99 to $129 have been swirling around for more than a week. In general, I tend to dismiss Apple rumors. Yesterday when the Wall Street Journalreported that Apple was working on a lower end iPhone, the rumors gained credibility. The Journal reported that the cheaper iPhone would be made of plastic instead of aluminum and resemble the iPhone 5.
