Strategy Session with the Fast Money traders
“I own it here but I’ve sold upside calls against it,” reveals trader Karen Finerman. “I’m worried about the law of larger numbers,” she admits.
In other words, eventually she thinks the company will get so big it will become nearly impossible to move the needle.
But at current levels she remains a buyer. “I like the stock and the valuation I don’t think it’s expensive, yet.”
Fast pro Jon Najarian agrees. And he sees plenty of catalysts to drive growth for some time to come. Among the many catalysts he cites is the new iPad 3. “That’s a March event, and it could provide the market with new wow.”
Trader Tim Seymour agrees. He points to growth in chip makers that supply to Apple. “It tells me there’s a lot more to go here.”
