Stocks on Wall Street were lower, but the major averages closed well off their worst levels thanks to a move higher in the final hours of trading. The late move wasn't enough, however, to keep the Dow from ending its streak of 20 consecutive higher closes on Tuesday sessions. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the trade deficit widened to $40.3B in April from its $38.8B prior reading, which compared to a deficit forecast of $41.1B. In Europe, an index of U.K. construction activity in May beat expectations and U.K. retail sales were also better than expected. COMPANY NEWS: Salesforce.com (CRM) and IBM (IBM) both announced acquisitions. Salesforce.com will acquire ExactTarget (ET) for $2.5B, or $33.75 per share. The deal sent shares of ExactTarget up $11.59, or 52.44%, to $33.69, while Salesforce slipped $3.24, or 7.89%, to $37.80. IBM said it will buy privately-held SoftLayer and the WSJ pegged the value of the transaction at $2B. IBM shares lost $2.76, or 1.32%, to $206.19. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was G-III Apparel (GIII), up $9.07, or 21.22%, to $51.81 after its first quarter earnings beat estimates and the company raised its full-year earnings outlook. Also higher were shares of Morgans Hotel Group (MHGC), up 86c, or 12.89% to $7.53 after the company said it will explore its strategic alternatives. Among noteworthy losers was Dollar General (DG), down $4.91, or 9.17%, to $48.64 after reporting in-line first quarter earnings giving a full-year earnings outlook below expectations. Also lower was Pandora (P), which slid 83c, or 5.45%, after dropping over 10% yesterday as speculation mounts that Apple (AAPL) will launch a competing music streaming service at its Worldwide Developers Conference next week. INDICES: The Dow was down 76.49, or 0.50%, to 15,177.54; the Nasdaq was down 20.11, or 0.58%, to 3,445.26; and the S&P 500 was down 9.04, or 0.55%, to 1,631.38. | | | 16:00 EDT |  | AAPL | Options Update; June 4, 2013

Reference Link | | | 09:57 EDT |  | AAPL | Apple bulls focusing on technical pattern, levels to watch
There has been a great deal of financial media attention focused on a potential bullish, inverted, head and shoulders pattern forming on the stock's daily chart. While that pattern could become active should the stock make it above the neckline at $475, there is an important caution to add. Patterns form not just by price, but by time as well. If the shares don't break out above the neckline next week during the company's World Wide Developer Conference, there is a high risk the pattern will expire through time alone. This particular potential bullish set up will not be valid if bulls are waiting for earnings season. Though there may well be bullish fundamental news during earnings which could move the stock higher, the pattern won't be part of that equation unless it has already triggered. The emergence of the pattern, if it is valid, could mean bulls are way ahead of the news and will be out of phase unless next week's conference provides an opportunity. For now, a breakdown back below the first of the major moving averages, the 10-day at the $440 area, would cast serious doubt on the pattern's validity. That could well happen if next week proves to provide no positive trading catalyst. | | | 09:37 EDT | | AAPL | Active equity option families trading
