The U.S. stock market is controlled by the momo, or momentum, crowd.
If you have drunk the Kool-Aid of the momo crowd, all you care about is that Apple’s stock is rising; there is no need to analyze or read this column.
But what if you are a prudent investor? You should be paying close attention to Apple’s AAPL 17% problem. Let’s examine the issue with the help of a chart.

• Before you send me hate mail, please click here. For the sake of transparency, this chart is the same as when it was originally published. When The Arora Report gave a signal to aggressively buy Apple stock at $18.73, I was talking about Apple stock going to $143. This call was made long before Apple became a popular stock.

The chart shows that we have about doubled our returns by using trade-around positions surrounding the core position.
• The chart shows a gap open in Apple’s stock after the earnings.

• The chart shows that the new resistance zone is ahead.
• The chart shows that the stock has been in a steady uptrend since the cycle low.
• The chart shows the new Arora buy zone.
• The chart shows the prior Arora buy zone that was given in advance of the last dip in Apple’s stock.
• The chart shows that the relative strength index (RSI) has traced a positive pattern.
• RSI shows that the stock has room to run.
