6:10PM, AAPL Weekly Chart

(Green Apple) Until proven otherwise: downwave in an intermediate-term downtrend/consolidation period. 

I've started a position in SEP'12 560/570 bear put spreads (long 570, short 560).  My current thinking, subject to changing market conditions: should we take out 588 and attempt to fill the pre-earnings gap @ 598, I'll continue scaling in, adding every 5-10 points.  Then, on the road down, I'll take profits on bear spreads (scale out) as I open new bull spreads (scale in).
