I think this Apple parlor game is repulsive. You are playing trends that can't be played -- basically what others with very little capital at work might do or not do with every penny trade in any direction. You are gaming the psychology of the moment and not the earnings of the era.

Here's what you should be owning, not investing: an earnings stream that is growing at 15%, that you are getting for 14x earnings, which is what the average stock is selling for in the S&P 500.

Is this an average stock with average growth? No, it is among the greatest wealth creators in the world with a vastly superior growth-and-balance sheet.

You want to flit in and out of Apple to catch the latest review or day's sale? Or do you want to own a stock that's just too cheap not be owned, one that money managers all over the country have to own in order to show that they were in the game or in order to beat the game going into the fourth quarter.

I think owning it has it all over trading it. Nothing I heard today changes my mind.

Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, was long AAPL.
