So much for all the gloom and doomers. Apple seems to be making doubters look silly.

A HUGE reason why the iPhone sells very well is the fact that it is Apple, not the cellphone carrier company, that controls the updates to the phone operating system. As such, you get additional functionality and bug fixes on a truly timely fashion, unlike most Android phones (the only ones I know that get timely updates are the Google Nexus models worldwide and the Xiaomi models sold in China).

I own some Apple stock but not enough : )
I bought last year just before the 7-1 stock split.

My cousins recently inherited each quite a sum of money and I pointed out that if they owned Apple when it was $109 in Jan 2015, that a month later with what they each had, they could have made an extra $220,000 when it hit $133. One month. Nearly a quarter of a million extra dollars.

They are being conservative with the money but I pointed out so am I. Buy Apple. It will go up and up. Hopefully the Apple ceo and board won’t be dumb and decide to save the planet or something.

If someone had purchased AAPL in 12/97, the split adjusted cost would be $0.47 per share.

What did a Big Mac cost in ‘97? Anyone you know buy one?

So, why isn’t Apple Manufacturing in America? They’re Rich.
