The Last Table Leg

As I mentioned recently, I am knocked off my feet at the long-term quality of the bearish setups before us. There is really just one holdout that is keeping this ridiculous market from entering the unchecked free-fall which it so richly deserves, and that is Apple. The same Apple that honestly hasn’t had a major innovation since 2007, but simply keeps cranking out new versions of its iPhone with marginal, irrelevant improvements. This company is globally considered the safe haven for cash. If and when it breaks, you can expect the entire house of cards to come tumbling down.
