Apple continues its Breakout; This sector tramples the Dow Jones return
Apple (AAPL) continued to show why market bulls should not ignore tech stocks. The iPhone giant showed only weak stock dividends today, but an almost 0.4% gain gives the Nasdaq giant more cushion over a new 197.79 point of purchase. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell slightly, by 0.2%.

Qualcomm arranged a breakaway gap with a 12% vault higher on Wednesday, and could easily clear a 76.60 purchase point in a large and deep cup base. The share is still barely at a purchase distance from an alternative 78.82 place of purchase, the opening price in Wednesday's bullish day.
