Wow, WTH..?
How much bloodletting will this inspire, tomorrow..?
Anyone know whassup?
I'm not a nervous Nellie, but -8% in a few hours on a company that's almost a trillon bucks, hey:
That's nothing to sneeze at.
I don’t know if it has any bearing on the Apple stock prices but Netflix dumped Apple pay as a way to pay for its streaming service. I think I read that here. Maybe not.
Tim Cook is so caught up in the wonders of buggery he forgot to mind the store.
You’re out of your mind:
I’m regularly lambasted as a Elon fan boy.
Apple has lost its way, at least in the computer division.
As a services company, they are too dependent on willing content providers.
And the phones are very good, but overpriced.
And the CEO wants to be a Master of the Universe instead of running his business.
All-in-all, go short.
Dang, that’s funny!
> At some point Apple stock will be so cheap that buyers will pour in.
I got mine on split adjusted basis of less than a penny a share. So for now, I’m still ahead. ;-)
Now as for my Sears stock...
“They kept raising price of phone....should have lowered it and got more people buying it..”
Millennials are a payment generation - not a total cost generation.
The goal of business is to provide value to a customer at a price they are willing to pay - that is profitable.
Apple does this amazingly well.
these 20-something & 30-something so-called Wall Street analysts and experts that think they know every aspect of American business are badly over valued themselves, not far from the early Sunday morning prognosticators guaranteeing the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers will make the NFL playoffs.
Just where do THEY expect sensible investors to to risk their money? In dying corporations like JC Penny, Sears, Gannett or Tribune Newspapers? Apple, a very well run company, has just posted earnings reflecting as big as any global company has ever seen. Their products are being bought, used and subscribed to more than ever, and company profits are unmatched by anyone else’s.
Tesla is down due to pickup drivers blocking supercharger stations.
It’s the China announcement. Looks like the Apple bubble may have finally popped.
In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad.
Apple is a one trick pony since Jobs passed away. Little tweaks here and there for the fan bois but that is about it.
They are going to be trounced soon with emerging tech in display technology
In fact, if there was an Apple thread and Okie DIDN'T appear and tear Apple a new a$$hole, I'd miss him, truly; I'd figure he must be sick enough to not log on. Hell, I'd have to send a get-well card and hope to see him again soon.
I’ve always thought of Apple followers as cultists.
boo f'n hoo
In the Tesla I just hate how they are so heavily subsidized.
Should be able to pick up some great deals on almost new iPhones as all the Gotta-habdats stand in line for 5G Iphone 11s or 12s or whatever they are going to call them. Perhaps they’ll have to buy them from the Chinese and relabel them, as they don’t seem to have anything ready to tap that market.
If any Apple fans gaven’t seen this, it may cheer them up:

“Huawei apparently tweeted “happy new year” from an iPhone then quickly deleted it. “
I am in IT and following apple for years.
After Job’s death, their software and HW is becoming less advanced than it has been.
For example, the responsiveness and low number of taps to do popular tasks.
This means their user base is ripe for defection.
In fact, the recent iPhone intro sales have been way down.
