  • Today’s Trade: AAPL and ADM

    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…
