Price Time Volume Investing

Apple Computer (AAPL) was setup in a strong position but has not taken advantage of that position and looks to be ready to break down. My long term outlook has been weak for a while.

The Nasdaq Composite (COMPQ) made a 720 degree move from March to June (two complete 360 degree cycles). Price has retraced all but 90 degrees of this move. Continue reading
