Apple surged on Friday following Tim Cook's announcement of the largest stock buyback in stock market history. I'm aiming for a post-earnings "gap fill" trade on AAPL . Despite my long-term bullish outlook on AAPL, I'm considering a short-term bearish trade to fade this post-earnings spike. If AAPL starts against me, I would want to close the trade if I lose 50% of my investment (i.e., $125). BEFORE MAKING ANY FINANCIAL DECISIONS, YOU SHOULD STRONGLY CONSIDER SEEKING ADVICE FROM YOUR OWN FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVISOR.
