Well Apple missed earnings coming in at $9.32 versus estimates of $10.23. The iphone 4S sales just didn't meet expectations as the consumer awaits iPhone5. The stock decline 5% to the low $570s range.....

adding to Apple remaining 1/2 position @ $572. other entry levels were 1/4 @ $559 on 4/24; $539 on 5/17 & $588 on 7/23

Bottom line average cost basis $564.50

Note--- Q4 earnings estimate are $7.38 ... difinitely sandbag and lowballed...Last time Apple missed earning was pre 4S by 4% the stock fell 15%. Then the following quarter beat by 32% and the stock rallied 45%. Will it repeat? We shall see....
