  • Xiaomi takes offense at smartphone estimates off by 2.5M units, Apple doesn't

    I know sometimes it seems that way, Lkrupp. Ponder for a moment though, CNN market share.
    Considering the high market share of Fox fake News, it would seem you disprove your own point.

  • Apple's impressive App Store growth continues to be overlooked by Wall Street, Macquarie says

    Speaking as a neophyte of neophytes, at least as far as investing is concerned, maybe someone here can rationally address something that has been lurking in the back of my head for the past week or so.

    Clearly Apple is one of the most successful corporations on the planet, for the past decade or so.  Is it possible that, from a macro-economic standpoint, there might be external concerns about too much wealth being amassed in one handbasket, and these market manipulations are  attempts to temper that, on someone's part (or groups of someones)?

    It sounds paranoid, I agree.  I'm just searching for logic and meaning in the chaos.

    That's an interesting question but unlikely the case.

    It's more a case of knowing who's in the know and greasing the right palms. Apple does neither of these things. It is a company founded in a garage, not by a conglomerate of the richest people on earth.

    I strongly recommend looking at the board of directors of the SP500 and see how many sit on so many of the same boards. Apple of course has its own web, but it's fundamentally different than those who control Wall Street.

    Also, Apple's lobbying budget is pathetically low (which I respect about them). But most other companies much smaller than apple spend many times more on lobbying and buying themselves monopolies.
