Sold paypal for 6% profit and just picked up Apple. Hoping for a Netflix or Google type move from Apple.

Ouch. As I said in the short Apple thread, I had a feeling the quarter would disappoint. It's usually their weakest quarter of the year, the Chinese economy isn't doing so hot right now (which is a big part of their sales), and the watch isn't selling much. Sure, earnings are up year over year, but people were expecting more.

I'm short MCD and long MSFT for earnings on both.

ETA: MSFT down even though they beat estimates. Not really a problem, I think it will do okay later in the year.

Just saw a tweet that these two make up 6% of entire US stock market.

Been long in MSFT for a while. I too am not worried about the dip after they beat estimates.

Daunting to think about, but perhaps not too surprising. We live in an age of computers and tech, and they dominate those areas.

I'll only be worried about the MSFT purchase if people hate Windows 10, which I would be surprised by considering that they got feedback from consumers.

I will be adding to my position in Apple this morning. Not to often does something like this come around.

I am contemplating the same thing. I'm just afraid that this may be a sign that Wall Street has unrealistic expectations for AAPL which could lead to the stock tumbling again.

Is it safe to buy NBG now?

I bought at right around $1, but I'm holding long term. If it goes bankrupt then oh well, I screwed up. I rarely ever invest like that as I'm more of a big boring blue chip stock kinda investor. Just decided to take a gamble on NBG.

Short GILD
Mind if I ask why you think GILD will disappoint? I think it has a bright long-term future, so if it is going to disappoint, I'd like to take advantage of the discount.
