iPad Mini Puts Apple in Sweet Spot: Pros

Apple has again sent the blogosphere into a tailspin, after reports suggested a new mini iPad could launch by the end of summer.

The latest chatter was triggered by Topeka analyst Brian White who is convinced a September launch is in the cards after a recent trip to Taiwan.

“The launch could be setting up Apple for a new high,” says trader Guy Adami.

Adami, Najarian and the other Fast pros think the new gadget could put Apple in the sweet spot if it launches, as expected, at a lower price point than the current iPad.

“This mini is an interesting product,” muses Pete Najarian. “I can see it really being popular with students. It's light and easy to carry. And parents will really like the pricing,” he says. “It says to me that Apple is continuing to innovate.”

Trader Stephen Weiss agrees. “It’s worth holding Apple as a core position,” he says.

And despite the market uncertainty, all three traders think at current levels it’s ok to pull the trigger. “I think the stock is poised to go higher,” says Adami. “This sell-off is an opportunity.”

“I love the way Apple trades,” adds Pete Najarian. “It gets down around $555 and bounces. You've got to love that."

And if you need to conserve capital, Najarian suggests playing the thesis with with options and buying upside calls.
