Today’s Trade: AAPL and ADM

Published by

on

I bought 200 shares of AAPL at $100.25. I went over the chart on Friday.

ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Co.) reports earnings tomorrow. I will likely place a buystop at $39.75-40.10, depending on how the stock looks at the close today. If the stock clears this level (which is an intermediate term high and about a point away from where the stock is now), it will mean traders liked earnings and this level will probably become support.

    looks good, although the large gap area makes it tough to get a handle on where to put the stop. Do you know what caused it to gap up? Earnings?
