Pepsi Company Admits Aquafina Bottled Water Is Tap Water, Not Spring Water

July 27th, 2007

 

Aquafina Bottled Tap WaterFinally, bottled water companies will start to label the source of their water.
This article from Reuters details that PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani will start to label the source of the water in the bottles. If you thought it came from fresh water springs…nope it seems like it’s just filtered tap water.
Your probably better off carrying a bottle of Brita filtered water from home, than buying bottled water all the time.

Profiting From A Boucing Apple (Apple Stocks) – Option Trades

July 24th, 2007

by Das Brain

As promised, here are a listing of option trades I made on Apple (AAPL). Apple’s stock and option contracts are great to trade when it experiences some weakness. When the stock price takes a hit down to near its stock price major support level, and all the technical indicators (MACD, Forecast Oscillator and DMI) on the chart looks to be all in line, I have been buying some DITM CALL option contracts, then selling the options when it rises near AAPL stock price resistance level. Today, AAPL was down in early trading about $5 or 4% to $137.50. However, it has come up a bit since.
