I have a friend in Italy who saw it coming and shorted a bunch of it...says it’s the best trade he ever made..

Not possible. The short periods did not occur when the stock was down far enough to matter. Now, had you said he sold when it was at 131 and bought back in when it was at 119 for a split second, I might have believed him. However the put options could not be exercised that quickly. Nor did anyone see it coming. . . not on a record quarter. This was insane manipulated trading based on lying headlines with manipulated Street numbers claiming Apple missed the Earnings targets—which it did not, and in fact exceeded them—posted before the Financial Conference Call even started. . . at which point the stock started it's free fall. This stank to high heaven.

If the Italian sold at the high, then bought back in at the low, he was in on the plot. There was evidence this happened. . . as it has happened in the past with the same pattern of manipulation with false information.

By the way, my I-ti friend owns a I-phone and more than one watch...

Said he gave the watches away and started looking for a opportunity to short it.

and he did...

Frankly speaking, the risk he took was too great for me to follow that trade..

Just saw this...lol

He's a pro, he uses Bloomberg Terminal.

If you don't use it as well, then you don't know what you are talking about.
