Last Fri. IBD was putting it on the radar--
--and their comment about 'weak bounce' seems to be addressed by the heavy volume it's showed powering into the recommended $97.2 - $102.06 buying range.
Their stock checkup was stellar too:

In Feb 2013, I had a "financially savvy" friend tell me to avoid APPL. He went as far as to say they would likely NOT EXIST as a company in less than 10 years. HAH!!
I sold half of what I had... Now wish I hadn't.
I would have sold all, except for the advice of my son. He was convinced that APPL was on solid financial footing. I paid a lot of money to have my son educated on finance issues... His advice, so far, has been exceptional.
