The problem of course is you can’t buy in the past. LOL.

Welcome to AFB, mbeauch.

Just to aggravate Tommo, Alan Greenspan has written a book . He claims Bush and the Republicans have racked up big budget deficits and invaded Iraq for its oil. And here we all thought he was a Republican. Can he be a Libertarian?

Can be that the truth escapes political biases? Can be that Iraq was about to sign an important deal with some European countries to sell their oil in Euros thus setting a precedent, which would lead to changes in global monetary control?

If Greenspan wants to go around making political statements, or reflecting on the past, that’s fine by me.. its when he meddles in the current affairs of the Fed that he annoys me

Fine with me, I’ll be buying more, cheaply

That’s the typical low volume PM sell off pressure, to ease the path for getting long positions in the regular hours once the volume increases

As good as this deal is and as good as Apple is as a company, it is hard to overcome the nervousness surrounding the Fed’s decisions tomorrow.

It might be a typical ‘down PM/up daytime’ syndrome AAPL has usualty… 

This upgrade looks like it had an immediately positive effect on PM stock price.
