With investors cashing out their winners, will earnings be the catalyst that puts a ceiling on Apple stock? Or can this stock defy gravity? Seems like a good time for Fast Money 360. Find
out what fundamentals, technicals and insights from the options world all suggest lie ahead for this stock! -------- FUNDAMENTALS Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek is _bullish_. He tells
the desk, “We'd be buyers of Apple going into the earnings.” He’s excited about both the company’s computers and gadgets. “We think Macs did very well in the quarter. (Also) we think
iPhones were solid with great catalysts ahead. Also, we think iPod touch was solid in the quarter also with some good refreshes with OS 4.0,” says Misek. Going forward Misek has a $300
price target on the stock. “Lots of stuff on the horizon, great catalysts, lots of upside,” he concludes. --------- CHARTS Technical analyst John Roque of WJB Capital is also bullish. He
says patterns in Apple’s chart suggests “Apple can work above $300. The trend is very strong." The only reservation he has is that “the stock might be a little bit overbought here.”
Roque concludes, “we'd be looking to buy it on any pullback or any consolidation.” --------- OPTIONS Brian Stutland of Stutland Equities is also an Apple bull. He tells us, the options
market is looking for a 7 to 8 percent move in Apple over the next 30 days. He sees Apple going to about $280. ”Options traders are selling the 280 call out to July right now. So that’s
probably your upside potential in the stock. "I’d be looking to buy a 240 to 260 call spread, to some degree. Not outlying a ton of cash and by buying options premium.” ANYTHING ELSE?
Apple is all about the Macs, reminds Pete Najarian. That's where all the profits are. That's the number I'll be scrutinizing.
