Apple Watch Wanna-Be Buyer Survey Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Only 4 percent of white respondents said they plan to buy an Apple Watch, versus nearly 11 percent of minorities
OBAMAWATCHES!...............
And you'll steal and rob other people of theirs, just so you can have one of your own.
I think this is a bunch of BS, people always want new tech, although the smart watch is in its infancy I predict that overtime they will become more and more ubiquitous.
What a load of road apples. They only got two right. I’m over educated and religious. Lol.
(...they still attend church. And many of them don’t already own an iPhone.)
Two major surprises that really are not:
1) that “church going” people support Apple despite Apple kicking them in the teeth over and over.
2) they are real idiots as for most of the functionality, you need to already have an iPhone.
So far, it’s the homosexual, Obama, Jihad watch!
Hmm, I must be an outlier.
Woman
Older than dirt
Very poor
only 1 year of college
didn’t vote for Obama
I am white, though
live in the upper midwest
married 45 years, now a widow
a follower of Christ, but do not attend any church
own an iPhone.
and very far right!
Do not exactly crave one, but will be saving up for when the watch is mature, and has apps that will make my daily life easier to manage.
What is with these silly surveys, anyway?
Great fun to see the spittle flying as keyboards are pounded in rage though.............
You’re educated (but not necessarily very smart)
You’re young & You’re well off (live rent free at mom’s house)
You probably voted for Obama (not very smart)
But you’re probably not Caucasian (voted for Obama)
You’ve never been married (you’re still living at moms!)
You’re probably a man (real men do not vote for commies for President)

Its those wacky gadget obsessed Asians who are the biggest buyers even though the instruction manuals have not been translated. Apples usual target demographic of gays, feminazis and jaded hipsters are sitting this one out because the coolness factor is missing
Any Male that Votes Democrat should have his Testicles sitting in a Box on Hillary’s Mantle.
The problem with a poll at this stage is that nearly no one answering has actually seen one. The early adopters looking to buy sight unseen don’t represent what the market for the watch will be in the future.
M wife’s cousin is a very devout Catholic ,very conservative intact family with husband and two teenage sons, and she works at the Apple store. Has for years.
Why? In part she is very intelligent. Traded the idea of becoming a doctor, for becoming a mother.
So it is mentally stimulating to work there for her.
I am also getting a watch for Sarah Palin. Below is a photo of her just after I told her I was ordering an Apple Watch special for her. She seems surprised and quite happy.
In the mean time, a couple of etf’s will probably do very well thanks to Apple. I own two of the ETFs cited, DGRW and TDIV:

The second quarter, May in particular, is often chock full of dividend increases, but investors can also expect some payout hikes from big-name companies before the end of this month.
That includes Apple (AAPL), which though new to the dividend game, is the largest dividend payer in the S&P 500. Apple reinstituted its dividend in the third quarter of 2012 after a 17-year hiatus. Since reintroducing the payout at 37.8 cents per share per quarter, Apple’s dividend has grown at an impressive clip to 47 cents a share per quarter. Market observer are forecasting more dividend growth from Apple and expect that growth to arrive as soon as Thursday when the iPhone maker reports earnings. [Dividend ETFs Lag in Q1]
Markit expects Apple’s quarterly dividend to rise 8.5% to 51 cents a share, reports Amey Stone for Barron’s. “This is in line with its current capital allocation program of returning $130 billion to investors through 2015. Of this, the company has returned $103 billion to investors, including $73 billion in share repurchases with four quarters remaining to its completion,” according to a Markit note posted by Barron’s.
Apple is the world’s largest company by market value, so it is not surprising that the stock is a top 10 holding in over 100 exchange traded funds. What may be a surprise to some income investors is that Apple is a marquee holding in several well-known dividend ETFs. The surprise comes by way of Apple not yet possessing a lengthy dividend increase streak, a cornerstone of the weighting methodology behind some of the largest U.S. dividend funds.
