Trade Rationale

With AAPL, they had a 4:1 split which was coming up so I didn't put on my regular post-earnings trade on it. When a split happens, it changes the personality and trading behavior of a stock, so I had to wait a little to get into AAPL. To add to this AAPL and TSLA both shot up to the moon so much pre-split, that a pullback was almost guaranteed in these cases.
