Too Much Bad News Could Be Good News

AAPL is getting hosed in after-hours trading on news that the company had lowered its sales estimate for Q1. The economic slowdown in China that has caused this is bound to persist and grow worse, but my gut feeling is that Apple shares have taken enough pounding lately to be ready to rally on bad news. In the touts section I’ve suggested a couple of way to play it, using ‘mechanical’ set-ups in either AMZN or the E-Mini S&Ps. Both have high initial risk, but you may be able to cut it down to size by substituting a ‘camouflage’ entry in either. There’s always call options in AAPL itself, or in any other vehicle, but you’ll have to wait till morning if you decide to play it that way.
