  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    All I can say is thank you Steve and Tim.  Back in 2003 I have 10K from a 401K rollover.  After trying to do some trading and only being moderately successful, I decided to go all in on AAPL.  I followed Apple closely, bought their products and I knew that MacOS X was the key to their future success.  That stock is now worth over 1.5M.  

    What Tim has brought to Apple is the ability to deliver.  I still remember the days when products were delayed mostly for processor supply issues. Its rare nowadays that products aren't available the day of release and there is usually plenty of stock on hand.

  • Trump's chip tariff threat takes aim at Apple's TSMC partnership

    Any business that imports products will pass the cost of the tariffs to the us customer. 
    If sales go down because of that, the business will need to determine whether investing in us manufacturing will make them money. 
    For chip business the cost of creating a factory in the us and hiring / training personnel is huge. Trump may have to do what China does and make it so difficult to import that you have to build in the us.

  • How Apple Savings compares vs other high-yield savings accounts

    My biggest issue is that you can only access the account info on an iOS device.  What if my phone is stolen?  Will that allow someone to pull the savings out immediately if they have unlocked the phone?
