3 Reasons Why Apple Competitors Are Petrified

A couple weeks ago I harangued the value of an Apple Tablet, arguing that it was a failure from the start. The post presented five reasons supporting that stance. Well, I’m retracting everything said, but not because the arguments were wrong, but instead, here are three even more compelling reasons why Apple will succeed and [...]

Five Reasons Why the Apple iSlate is a Failure

I’m prepared for the hate and vitriol that is about to come my way for predicting the Apple iSlate a failure before it even becomes a reality. The fort is fortified, and the woman and children are safe in the panic room. Let me just say this before getting underway… I understand Apple fanaticism as [...]

Apple Investor Has Been Incognito

You know what to do when in-cognito, right? You do as the cognitos do. For the life of me, I have no idea who the cognitos are, or where they live, but hey, it’s their turf, so, respect, and big up.
So, it’s been almost two weeks since my last post, when I ripped into the [...]

Is the iPhone 3.0 SDK All That?

I’ve been playing the role of un-enthused skeptic over the recently announce iPhone 3.0 software development kit (SDK). I’ve Twittered about it, spoken with friends, colleagues and even family, and universally I have been castigated for my “lack of vision” or faith. I’ve been told that this SDK, with its 1,000 new APIs, will stoke [...]

Tech Newspaper Prototype by a Strange Pair

There’s a new paper in town and it’s slinging together all the news that tech investors need or want, the Apple Investors Newspaper. Two guys, an odd couple of sorts, are behind this online rag. The guys aren’t really all that odd, though some might argue that point, but the pairing apparently is, at least [...]

Let me start with this declaration; My name is Ernie Varitimos and I’m an Apple fanboy. I bought my first Mac two days after it was introduced to the world back in 1984. And since that time, I have owned nearly one hundred Macs! Today, my home is graced with eight Macs, strategically located throughout.

Markets Are Looking Strong

As an Investor you have to be feeling pretty good after last week’s performance, perhaps a little disappointed with Apple’s Friday finish, but darn good overall. While the general markets have really taken it on the chin prior to this past week, AAPL has been quite resilient, keeping above the 20 day moving average. The [...]

Tech is Holding this Market Down

That’s right, the leaders of tech; Apple, Google, Amazon and Baidu are holding this market hostage. They simply can’t catch a bid. The Nasdaq is in total breakdown with no end in sight. The technicals are screaming a rally is about to break out, with massive positive divergences on the 60 minute and daily charts. [...]

Apple Investors, Tech is Crashing the Party

Or should I say that Tech is joining the crash party? Whatever the case, the Nasdaq, the last bastion of hope, has finally cracked and is now on the precipice of a complete breakdown. The leaders of tech are all failing, like AAPL which plotted a very bearish inverted hammer today. Let’s not forget commodities, [...]

What Can We Expect Over the Next Few Days?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I could consistently tell you what to expect every few days. If I could, I wouldn’t be writing this blog post, instead I’d be lounging on a tropical beach somewhere with my Apple iPhone, and Twittering about the nature of warm breezes and ocean waves. Unfortunately I’m not a seer, [...]

Tech, Financials Led Reversal But Was it Enough?

The Banks and the leaders in tech were on fire today (Tuesday Feb 25), but of the big four, Apple sported the weakest advance. Does that have any real significance in the big picture, probably not. It is worth noting however, that AAPL did recapture that critical 90 level, but failed to recapture its 20/50 [...]

The Dow Crashed Today, Did Anyone Notice?

There’s no doubt that the tech-heavy Nasdaq has held up fairly well in the face of what  happened today. What? You didn’t hear? The Dow Jones Industrial index CRASHED! And the S&P 500 was right behind it. That’s right, the Dow brike through it’s 2002 lows. The S&P has also broken through those lows, and [...]

Top Ten Reasons to Love Apple

It’s been a while since I last posted on the Wilderness, about a week now. In fact, the frequency of my posts in the last several weeks has dropped off dramatically, I used to post at least once a day, now it’s once in a while. It hasn’t been for a lack of things to [...]

Trails iPhone App Records Your Treks

The wife and I did our morning walk on one of the trails in the Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary. And I thought it would be neat to record the walk. No, I didn’t want any kind of video thing, I wanted to map out the walk that we’ve walked literally hundreds of times before. I [...]

Why Apple Has Risen, a TA Viewpoint

I was on Ken Ray’s Day 6 podcast this weekend (February 14, 2009) trying to make sense of the markets. Ken was interested in why AAPL had risen from its lows of 78 to over 100 in the past three weeks without any apparent news events to correlate with the move. We talked about [...]

Apple and Tech Heads Still Above Water

The title of this blog was just about the most euphemistic phrase I could muster. While it’s true that the tech leaders, like Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), and Amazon (AMZN) have managed to stay above their respective 50 day moving averages, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq dipping slightly below its 50 dma today (Tuesday, February 10).

Tech and Financials Lead the Way

There’s little doubt that the bulls have the best chance they’ve had in a long while to break and run. The financials provided lift to the markets for sure, due to their extreme oversold conditions, but it was tech that was the true leader. And it was all spurred on by Amazon (AMZN) after they [...]

The Longer the Deeper

Many investor thought tech might be our leader out of this lateral basing pattern the markets have been slidging through the past few months. But that doesn’t appear to be the case, as stocks like Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), and Rim (RIMM) were all up roughly 1 percent for the session, they all printed inverse [...]

The Long and Winding Road

There’s nothing new to report, unless you like a constant barrage of doom and gloom. This lateral pattern has persisted for two months now, grinding away, with no real progress by either the bears or the bulls. The general trend has been down, ever since our collapse last year. The sectors that typically lead markets [...]
