Their forward looking expectations for the next quarter is going to be disappointing, as usual. I just hope it doesn't cut the gains back that they made tonight.
Not sure I can agree with much of his reasoning (not that anyone is expecting a huge dividend). He appears to be making an assumption that Apple's cash is being invested at a high rate of return. Heavens why?
I think he's also short of Apple's cash. I'm pretty sure it's well over $50b with securities.
Interesting numbers never before released. Revenue from "greater China", which includes mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, was $1.3 billion over the past 6 months, up 200% (four times) from the year before.

And, I thought I heard him say 9X increase in China?
Consider that in Japan with Softbank, it's as though the only carrier in the US was TMobile, and the phone was still a major seller, and the most popular model overall.

Makes their price rises on the Macbook pro's that much more obscene. As well at the $120 ripoff for the iPad with a 3G chip.
And $50 billion in pure profit sitting in a bank, and not a penny going back to the stockholders.
Hello, sorry to be heartless (we stockholders are having a small party here): you may confusing cause and effect.

There's a good analysis as to why Apple can't give much of that back.

And Ara Technica is having a live blog of the call, which has just started.
Even better, you can listen to it live here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq210/
Stock up >$18 (not a typo).
The object in Microsoft's rear view mirror is closer than it looks.
Very loud footsteps now.

I'm listening to that as well. But Jacqui does a good job of giving the important info, and people can comment.

Good thing it's not SJ on the call......
And I still kick myself today that I did not buy Apple stock when it was at $88...
I did buy when it was at that price and even bought when it fell to $80. But I still kick myself today that I did not buy more!

It seems sound to me.

Obscene? It sure makes it look like they know what they're doing - it's not like people are forced to buy their products.
And as a stockholder, I'm VERY happy with how they are doing. I'll take reinvestment in the company over a dividend any day.
