It's a short squeeze. And not just for Apple. I noticed that the stocks that were pushed down hardest, rose the most on Thursday and Friday. Also, consider that after earnings are reported, the quiet period ends and companies can start buying bac…

"...penciled in for 2020." Stop using pencils on the white board, you morons! I told you. Gawd. Use those erasable markers in case we can't meet that timeline.

No problems. Installed it on my newish MacBook. Interesting though, this is the first time that the low power of my Core M CPU showed itself. 15 minutes to install the update. Maybe 20. Not sure how long MBPs or Airs are taking. Just guessing– not…

Oh yeah? Well, I'm downgrading Wells Fargo from a Hold to a Sell on reduced expectations of more rate hikes. Here at NostraThomas, we see Wells Fargo's stock pricing in four, 1/4% rate hikes in 2016. Given the recent devaluation of the Yuan, we se…

red oak said: Price target of $130, assigning Apple a FY16 PE of 12.5 How Bold You forgot to account for the cash balance. So, FY16 P/E of 10.5 (give or take). Compared to the average S&P P/E of 20 with estimated growth of 3-5%. Giv…

sog35 said: Tim Cook is a joke of CEO. He takes the time to trump up gay rights, minority rights, and coding for 10 year olds. Yet he does not have 5 minutes to go on an interview on CNBC and say holiday sales are going great and confirming…

That Modular face, as pictured often in the article, is the best. (IMO) It suits the smart watch because it allows for maximum data display. A hands watch face seems to miss the point. Also, DarkSky is great.
