The Fed-Apple Punch

By -

I would like to highlight a 27 hour period which is going to be vitally important: from 2:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, May 2nd through 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, May 3rd. This chunk of time commences with the communistic politburo of the FOMC doing what they do, and ends with the prima donna AAPL, which always wants to be very last to report, announcing their earnings. Considering where they are in their cycle, coupled with the shameless government’s intervention, one must wonder if some serious fireworks can finally commence at that time.
