It is so tempting to try and catch EVERY MOVE the stock makes but I JUST CAN'T pull the trigger without driving myself crazy... I have some stop losses in place that still guarantees my 'making money' (maybe not as much as I would like).. but its still money. I believe in the fundamental of the company sbelieve we are in 'a good tie of the year'(back to school and Xmas) when the stock tends to do well. I will re-l00k at the stock after X mas and hold until then. take profits… don’t be a hog… don’t try to ‘time’ the market, etc. etc. I have done quit a bit of trading of AAPL and have consistently lost money in the long run Hence with this stock in particular, I have excepted the reality that I can’t and won’t time the market and decided to HOLD my position long term (at least for a year or more while accumulating on the dips.

The market is making a bigger deal over the 3G iPhone release so there's potential for AAPL to drop if it doesn't release the phone in June as expected. Long-term, there's still a lot of upside, but a lot of general market volatility remains. You can sell half your position and preserve your profits or buy some puts to hedge your downside loss.
