BUYAppleAAPL-Q608.340Still great opportunity, but technically it looks like it’s rolled over in the very near term. The question is, will hold back to approximately its 50 day moving average.

N/AA Comment -- General Comments From an ExpertA Commentary0.020Markets: It matters what causes a correction. What has happened in Japan impacts oil, etc. What they supply may be interrupted. First we thought there was a rotational correction and now it is a full 10% correction. We are in the midst of a correction and not the start of a new bear market. A lot of stocks and indices are well above their 200 day moving averages, so as long as the pull back stays above these then you can see the long term up trend is still in tact. By mid-year we should see another up-leg in this bull market. 2011-03-15

WAITDragonWave Inc.DWI-T7.100The reason it did so well and then pulled back is that it has extreme single customer concentration.
