Bought AAPL call

I should just make a template for this. I bought a $570 strike 2014 AAPL call for $113.10 per share. The stock has dipped sharply ahead of earnings Tuesday. I've read a lot of negative sentiment about Apple lately, but no actual news. I bought because I believe the sentiment is dropping the price, rather than a change in prospects. It's psychologically attractive for a pundit to predict a disaster. However, the size of the position within my portfolio is making me uncomfortable. More profits aren't worth a good night's sleep. Proof either way will come Tuesday.
