Sarah Wasserman (swasserman@sir-inc.com) Apple Inc. (AAPL) debuted its new Mac 10.7 operating system today, which is called the Lion. The Lion boasts multi-touch gestures, the App Store, and Mission Control, and is set to debut in the summer of 2011.
Today's Lion-related buzz comes just after AAPL's unfortunate turn in the earnings spotlight on Monday. While the company's earnings beat the consensus estimate, AAPL's revised guidance fell short of the Street's expectations.
As a result of the report, the shares pulled back, but found support at the $300 level. In fact, AAPL is now trading right around $310, and is holding strong above the support of its 10-day and 20-day moving averages. These short-term trendlines have led the shares to a series of all-time highs in the past few weeks.
In fact, it seems that option players have high hopes for AAPL in the near term. Turning to AAPL's November open interest configuration, peak call open interest of over 35,000 contracts can be found at the 310 strike, with substantial accumulations of open interest at the November 320, 330, and 340 calls as well.
