on the fundamental side is jeff killberg with kkk financial. good to see you both.has had a good ride, going back to 2009. >> that's correct. and we're going to start looking at 2007 pretty darn soon. even the faa could not ground this stock chart. it wants to go higher. it was grounded under '77 for 3 1/2 years. and finally this year, the stock broke higher. i would love to buy this on any sort of pullback, but longer term, you know, put the seat back, relax, loosen the seat belt. this stock wants to go to 105. >> the animal way the trade off of that chart is going to fly is if you fold it up and make it a paper airline. it's a 52-week high, it's come a long way, 27 year-to-date, great earnings, but the time to buy is when they were grounded for the batteries, not when they're about to get back in the air. so we are seeing right now a bigger short interest come into this name here. we're seeing potential, you know, the lag, the way sequestration works, bill, you're going to see a lag. this could be a situation as we go into summer and fall, sequestration hits us. b

on the technicals, jesse o'hara is with phoenix partners and on the fundamentals, jeff killberg, good to see you, guys. j.c., you look apple over the short-term? what's your strategy? >> i do, maria, these two stocks are very similar, and yet they're completely different. they're similar because, if you look at a chart going back to january 1 of 2011 to today, we both see that both stocks are up right around 33%. now, the interesting thing is the path, how they got to that 33%. google, two steps forward, one step back. nice, slow, steady advance, and we think that's going to continue. apple, on the other hand, everyone knows this story. this took a giant leapfrog higher, parabolic move, pulled back, and now it's resting on a very crucial area of support, where thing we're going to bounce higher. not only on it's 150-day -- >> j.c., i want you to print that apple chart off the top of your head, because i'm about to go william tell on you. apple is going lower. i disagree with your thought here. look, a lot of focus here have said, oh, the 50-day moving average. that was only three trad

on the fundamentals, jeff killberg is with kkm financial. good to see you both.gail, how about those charts on microsoft? what are you looking at? >> the charts, maria, say that microsoft a near-term sell. when we look at the one-year daily, we see it's converging in a coil of uncertainty. neither the buyers or is sellers whether this thing is going to break to the is up side or the downside on bigger news. but what makes it bearish within what's crawled the symmetrical triangle right now, recent profit taking held at resistance. this puts the sellers in control, and this is likely to -- they're likely to push shares down towards the port, somewhere between 26 and 27. so i would take profits right here in microsoft. >> jeff, what do you think? did the fundamentals match the technicals? >> well, yeah, maria. it's hard to argue with abigail there. we saw punishing downgrade by goldman, which kicked off the 5% down move. but jon fortt was right. this year over year decline in sales, it has a lot to do, actually, with microsoft. and i think the reason is, maria, is t
