H&R Block Inc. (HRB) reported Q4 earnings yesterday afternoon that topped expectations and is up nearly 4.5% in pre-market.
AAPL "bobbed" up from the 99 water-line yesterday, ending the day with a gain of 0.72% on low volume. AAPL opened down at 98.5 to moderate volume and immediately set an intra-day low of 98.46 on moderately high volume before bobbing up to the upper-99 area and peaking at 99.99 in early afternoon trading at 1:20pm on light volume. Although 100 appeared very "alluring" more than once, AAPL never made it and foundered around the upper-99 area for the rest of the day. AAPL ended the day up 71 cents at 99.65 and then gained 3 cents in after-hours to end at 99.68.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened lower in conjunction with Futures, dipped to the upper-98 area and then gravitated back to the 99 line with surge above and then below 99. AAPL is currently down 71 cents at 98.94 as we approach the open.
Classic max-pain is 99. Today is OPEX. Have a good weekend with your friends and family.
