    What amazes me is that the “analysts” see Apple buying stock and don’t take that as an indicator of future performance.

    Apple knows about future product plans and what’s coming up in the pipeline. They seem pretty confident the share prices will climb, and that requires Apple to continue to dominate current markets (smartphones and wearables) but also to add new markets of as-yet unreleased products.

    Yet they still go on with their doom & gloom forecasts. Surely they aren’t really that stupid, so all that’s left is manipulation.

    For the life of me I cannot understand why analysts are surprised by the iPhone X's success. Their thinking is "will consumers pay that much?" The fact is, many of Apple's customers are "top tier" consumers. $1,000 is nothing for most of them. $1,500 is probably not even considered a lot of money. Apple is able to push prices higher, because many of their customers simply can afford it. I'm not saying Apple is an elitist company, but they're are smart enough to know that they have those consumers as part of their user base and would be insane to not cater to them in some fashion. Apple has played the consumer market brilliantly in going after and pushing the high end even higher and at the same time, remaining where they've always been to keep those customers happy as well.
    Many others on AI have suggested manipulation. As ericthehalfbee says, they ALL can't be that stupid. Apple's continued success can't be catching ALL the analysts off-guard ALL the time. It's gotta be manipulation. A lot of insiders are getting rich.

  • Apple Pay to arrive in Germany, CVS and 7-11 later this year

    Oh, boy. Glad CVS finally gets on board. Unbelievable they took this long. And 7-11 is huge.
    I don't know how prevalent 7-11 is in Europe, but it is everywhere in Asia (7-11 is Japanese-owned). Glad to hear this news.

    I think North Korea will become a democracy before Walmart accepts ApplePay.
