This is just a bit of fantasy (like imagining what you would do if you won the lottery) but I also want to be realistic here.  I'm also indicating what I think is the likelihood of this happening (in parentheses).
  1. --beat Q1 estimates of 77.5B rev (likely)
  2. --announce very good numbers from Apple watch, Apple music and AppleTV (likely)
  3. --set guidance for Q2 higher than last years, maybe 60-62B (possible)
  4. --say 2016 iPhone sales will easily surpass 2015 sales and not really seeing slowdown in demand (possible)
  5. --buyback will be increased (possible)
  6. --mention they have alot of new products that will come out in 2016 (possible)
  7. --announce increased dividend to 5% or higher, which I think would place a floor on the stock price (unlikely)
  8. --reiterate that supply chain rumors are not only inaccurate but analysts who do them are doing their clients a disservice (unlikely)
Anyway, just a few things that would make me happy to hear from the earnings call in a couple of weeks.  What would you like to hear/read?
