Apple Has 3rd Upday In A Row

 | Oct 21, 2014 04:26AM ET

On Monday Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) had its third upday in a row. It opened with a gap and closed at intraday highs, a bit below the psychological limit of $100. The daily trend is now positive and will remain so as long as price trades higher than $99. On a medium-term basis AAPL is still inside the 98-103 range of the last 2 months. Given the stock’s relative strength opposite the rest of the market, I still favor AAPL as a “buy” and stick with my scenario of new price records before year-end.
