Lot’s of chatter how poorly Apple is trading.  We’ve looked at the past six years of December trading and this year’s action is no different from the ghosts of Christmas past.  After popping on the October earnings announcement, the stock gives some back and trades in a range before finishing strong in the last two weeks of the year, though 2005 was a strong sustained move up.   Even during the 2007-09 bear market, the stock traded in a similar pattern.
