“Blown away by the importance of Apple (AAPL) here. In the midst of the worst week in history, when the market was cascading down 600 after already being down 1,700 points, one stock stood out as a buy. One! It was Apple. The stock defied gravity and it gained strength even as the market was falling apart. I cited it as a reason to get bullish here on Friday, and I couldn't believe how the bulls made a stand right on top of it, because of some new Macbook products! Wow, there's a reason to get long. Anyway, it worked. As long as we had a leader, even if it seemed suicidal, you could create a thesis that allowed you to start buying because of the unique oversold condition. Now Apple is rolling over and we see that the same effect that brought us up can knock us down. (We also have a decline coming in the oils, after the big squeeze yesterday, but that's a different story as I just outlined in the previous piece.) Apple's a mighty strong stock and it deserves to be bought into weakness, but believe me, in the vast scheme of things, it isn't really deserving of this prominence. I say that because post-product introduction, Apple goes down. So if you bought Apple or watched it and watched it lead you up, you will be prone to selling later for sure.”
