Why $AAPL Will Be Our Leading Indicator Near Term $QQQ

The Nasdaq has been on a tear and the markets have shaken off the concerns of the Coronavirus. Look at $AAPL for example. The stock was knocked down in premarket trading and has rallied since their lows of yesterday. Even as the tech conglomerate basically warned investors they will fail to meet expectations, it became an immediate demand play for the short term buyers and investors. If $AAPL swings to new all time highs, we could easily see the company help propel the markets higher into the stratosphere. If $AAPL drags lower, well we know it can drag the markets with it. I feel it is a must to keep an eye on this stock closely in the near term.
