Apple reports best June quarter ever with $53.3B in revenue on 41.3M iPhone sales
Agreed Ikrupp: The overwhelming value of Apple/AAPL is it’s integrated ecosystem. Sure, you are in a walled garden - but what a garden.lkrupp said:
And remember what certain individuals who regularly spew here said about them. Apple has managed to smear egg on all their faces big time. These numbers are almost impossible to put negative spin on. Of course, they will try. They always do. I’m especially impressed with the guidance for next quarter.macxpress said:dewme said:Apple's tiny AirPods are turning in mighty big numbers and the demand still exceeds supply. After using them for over a year I now know why.
I see people of all ages wearing them.....EVERYWHERE! These are a huge success for Apple.Your desktop and laptop computers, your iPhones and iPads, your watch - all connect and sync anywhere you are on the planet, all speak the same language, and all “look & feel” pretty much the same.Forget all the trivial, “they missed the xyz Intel cpu”, “the MBP touch-bar is rubbish”, "AirPods are worthless" sort of twelve-year old wanking and concentrate on the fact that, overall, this company is doing it right.To my knowledge, no other computer/phone/technology company provides anything approaching the usability and interactive services like this in our hyper-connected world.

What a difference a week makes: Apple's $88.3 billion quarter is even more impressive brok...
Agree.SpamSandwich said:
LOL. You obviously don’t know me or understand my comment. I’ve no immediate plans to sell.rotateleftbyte said:
Sell APPL and buy AMZN. They seem to be the sure fire bet to get to $1T first. Personally, I would not be seen dead owning any Amazon stock. Yes it might make me loadsamoney but their aim to be the last retailer standing goes against my core beliefs.SpamSandwich said:Just looked at my AAPL holdings and nearly choked at the size of the drop today, after expecting to see some sort of rise based on after-hours trading yesterday.
~$160.00 at close / after hours. ~$180 eighteen days ago. Analysts still see AAPL realistically at ~ $200.
Buy.

Apple diverting worker shuttles because of smashed windows
You are confusing the "Democratic Ideal" with the on-the-ground political actuality. Talk to some Democrats & Republicans - see how their views of "how the people should be treated" differ. Vote your conscience.anton zuykov said:
Treated equally? If they wanted to do that, they would have implemented a flat tax LONG TIME ago, instead of talking about "fair share". But they did not implement it. Why?sumergo said:Democrats - for all their liberal, artsy, Hollywood, elite faults - just seem to want everyone to be treated equally and get a break.
I
Currently the upper 50% of taxpayers (starting with 40k a year salaries) pay 97% of income tax in America, while top 10% pay 70% of all income taxes in the USA.
But by all means, go ahead, explain to me, how Democrats "just seem to want everyone to be treated equally and get a break".

Well, do we have IKrupp speaking here or SpamSandwich?SpamSandwich said:
The people you cited do not want to treat people equally. They want to dictate to others how their own money will be spent after they are taxed to oblivion to support their particular politics and causes of progressives. That’s not fair, moral or laudable.sumergo said:
Whoa! You forgot the "sarcasm" tag on your post, right? Or you've got it upside down?lkrupp said:
Because they essentially encouraged to do so by the constant barrage of class warfare propaganda spread by Democrat socialists. They are told that its unfair that these high paid, highly skilled workers get nice things but are the cause of their pain. They are told that theryt are oppressed by the wealthy who got their wealth on their backs. They are told they are entitled to all the perks of education and work without actually having to do any of it. They are told those highly skilled and highly paid tech workers are living on the Elysium space station while they suffer along with Matt Damon on Earth. Class envy, jealousy, and the sense of entitlement will be the death of democracy and the end of prosperous economy.macxpress said:Why do people have to be stupid and damage someone else's property? Why can't people just leave shit alone that isn't theirs?
It's not "Democrat socialists" (whoever they are) that "constantly barrage" the "class warfare" views you list. "Class jealousy" as you describe it, comes from the bottom-up (think trump) and is propagandized by right wing advocates.
Democrats - for all their liberal, artsy, Hollywood, elite faults - just seem to want everyone to be treated equally and get a break.
Or maybe you were just making a bad joke ;-(
iKrupp cited "Democratic socialists", I merely coloured them in as the "liberal, artsy, Hollywood, elite" as some people like to describe them.
"The people" (as you say) that I cited, actually do believe that people should be treated equally, they just also believe that you are what you make of yourself.
Where did you get all this "They want to dictate to others how their own money will be spent after they are taxed to oblivion to support their particular politics and causes of progressives." stuff? -
Apple stock climbs on word of planned US investments & repatriated cash [u]
Nice flip, content-free one-liner, but how about some more detail to support your view? Like - why, how . . .SpamSandwich said:
Trump is the best thing to happen to US businesses and stockholders since Reagan.sumergo said:
I suspect AAPL is also riding the general market buoyancy to some extent. It will be interesting to see how AAPL (and the market as a whole) reacts to the 2018 mid-term results and the 2020 presidential election. Only then will we know if the market is really booming (in step with the US economy over the last few years) or as a result of some other bizarre "trump effect" ;-)lkrupp said:
You are correct in that Apple refuses to play by the rules so Wall Street remains tepid in its valuation. Then we have the near constant barrage of pundits that say Apple has one foot in the grave since it doesn’t play by the rules and didn’t take their sage advice on what to do with their cash hoard. Maybe if Apple were deep in debt and had a massive P/E like Amazon they would get Wall Street’s blessing but I suspect not. Everybody is standing around waiting for Apple to stumble and die.SpamSandwich said:I still find it miraculous AAPL continues to trade so low. The company is worth much more based on cash in the bank alone, but they don't play the game like Jeff Bezos knows how to play the game.
