Up 1% afterhours doesn’t seem all that overwhelming.. Street must not have been totally bulldozed.
The conference call is just concluding and it's up 1.82%.
"We have to save Obama and the Democrat Party. Pour more money into Apple!"
WOW!!! Nearly doubling!!! /s
That’s beyond “FU” money.
I gotta invent something...
Maybe dehydrated water?
Don’t need to put government money into Apple; Apple would be pleased as punch - at least, I as a tiny shareholder would be - if the government simply made dividends deductible from the corporate income tax. Let the government be satisfied with the shareholders' paying tax on the dividends, and Apple will pay the dividends.Win-win.
In Before The Apple Haters
Well, almost ;-)
If I didn't know better, Swordmaker, I'd almost think you were baiting them, LOL.
Great news -- at least one American technology company is kicking major ass still. Microsoft's in trouble... IBM just went over the edge...
Nah, it's no good. I tried out some of that Aitch-To-Owe stuff once. It's got too much of a tasteless taste.

Wall Street says not enough!
The stock is up but it was at $103 in September. Now down. I hope it goes up and up as I now own some aapl Apple stock.

Wall Street has been irrational about Apple for years. Last year, Apple posted the best quarter of any corporation i the history of the stock market, blew away all analysts projections by wide margins, and reported record sales. . . but did not meet one small metric of ONE analyst outlier whose projections were outrageously ridiculous. . . and the stock price dropped 5%!!!
Here, Apple has exceeded all Wall Street punditry again, selling more than a million more Macs and 4.6 million more iPhones than they did same quarter a year ago, and the stock is up only 1.5% in after-hours trading. The market is probably fixated on the 900,000 fewer iPads sold YOY. . . although that was expected as people were waiting a refresh that happened last week with the release of iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.
Vacationing, expatting ???
Liza got her ten year green card, saving for the citizenship tax ... THEN ...
wait a minute
How does that help Obama and Democrats? Apple Inc, as a corporation, doesn't do much in the way of political donations. In fact, they don't have much of a lobbying presence in Wahington. Political donations come from the Apple Employees' Political Action Committee. Their last report showed they split their donations about 75% to Democrats and 25% to Republicans. If you want to give money to Obama, the Democrats, and Liberal causes, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and a host of others give far more than Apple ever has. Bill Gates and Steve Balmer just donated a milliont to anti-gun groups. . . which Apple has never done. Apple corporate giving has been primarily in the area of charity and education. . . not political.
Although Steve Jobs was Liberal, in the early 2000s, he was once asked in an email why Apple Corporation did not make political donations to Democrat politicians. His reply was terse, as were most of his emails replies: "Half of our customers are Republicans." Steve Jobs himself made only small political donations, totaling less than $100,000 over ten years, between donations to the Democrat Central Committee and some local and a few National candidates. After he married Laurene Powell Jobs, donations increased through her. . . But still not nearly as much as other billionaires. As for "prime lenders" saving anyone and pumping money into Apple, Apple Inc, has $165.4 BILLION of cash and short term liquid assets on hand. That's after buying back $85 BILLION of their own stock. They did that with their profits. There is a reason why Apple is the most valuable publicly traded company on Earth. . . and it's NOT because the "prime lenders" are pumping money into it to save Obama and the Democrats.
Only if it's dehydrated iWater.
There’s an App for that...
Ah ha, I think I know what "THEN" means
:-)
I had a short vacation, to go to the Mall of Asia. I went ice skating there. I showd those people how it is done :-)
