Dear Bottarelli Research Member,

 

On the move is Apple Computer (AAPL — NASDAQ). As I’ve mentioned, Apple has an earnings announcement on January 17^th — and we could see buying interest leading up to this release.

 

 

Apple also looks to dominate this week’s technology headlines, as the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and the Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco both look to get started.

 

Apple typically blows everyone else away at these trade shows — and this year will be no exception. Apple is set to unveil its iTV media technology — which is a mini Mac that links iTunes, iPods, and your TV to one central box. Apple’s iPhone mobile handset is also coming later this year, so I’m sure the momentum and excitement surrounding Apple’s technology pipeline will provide a nice lift for the shares. Let’s play this upside via February 90 calls. Here’s the play:

 

PLAY: Buy the AAPL February 90 Calls (QAA BR) at or under $4.20, good for the day. Place a protective stop loss at $2.80.

 

Lock and Load!

 

Sincerely,

Dear Bottarelli Research Member,

 

A critical development has happened since we last spoke...

 

Shares of Apple Computer (AAPL — NASDAQ) are shooting aggressively higher as the company just unveiled their new iPhone at their technology conference. This was the exact thesis behind us buying the AAPL February 90 Calls (QAA BR) yesterday — and today’s move is handing us a nice 2-day profit. Let’s go ahead and use today’s momentum to take our profits off the table.

 

 

 

Lock and Load!

 

Sincerely,
