Apple hasn't crossed below the 200MA for a long time.The fact tt it just did could be signalling that it is in for a bearish run at least for the mid term or it might be entering a consolidation phase.

Fundamentally, we need to look if its recent releases of ipad mini and iphone 5 has significant impact on its bottom line relative to the rest of its competitors especially samsung.

My take will be to hold out and see what happens. Anyways, we're may-july is usually not a good period for stocks. If you're looking to hold the shares for mid to long term then I would suggest a hold. It is uncertain to me if the stock will rise or fall in the short run. Just my two cents worth!! :)

Currently undergoing upward retracement. Seems like 20MA may cross 200MA in the short run. However, long term downtrend is likely to continue due to weak fundamentals from the company's business operations and weak PC industry outlook.

AMD is facing alot of challenges fundamentally (Intel and ARM). It is currently going through an upward retracement but still seems bearish in the long run. Unless the PC industry turns for the better or AMD changes their business strategy, it is unlikely that AMD will bounce back sharply in 2013.

I think you needa provide us with more details like:

1. What kind of trader/investor do you seek to become? (long term or short term & how long is long/short? days, weeks, mths)
2. What sort of guidance do you need?
3. What is your risk apetite

I am assuming you are focusing on the US market?
