Someone is gonna need 300 plus Shareholders pretty soon !
Sounds like a “Streamlined Delivery System”... guess who is implementing a “Streamlined Delivery System”...
PIXL !
There seems to be a New **Streamlined Delivery System Apple is about to use... interesting !
“Netflix for Magazines”
Who holds the Title ??? ... or will we see a Combination for the Belt ???
It’s all about **Apple News Paid Subscription !!!
“Readr was dubbed “Netflix for Magazines” app for iPad and iPhone that allowed users to instantly access and download hundreds of the world’s leading publications.”
“First launched in 2010, Texture has been described as “Netflix for magazines”, as its $10-per-month subscription service provides unlimited access to more than 220 publications”
***APPLE *** ... “Executives have said they’re targeting services revenue of roughly $50 billion by 2021.”***
Apple Eddy says TEXTURE ALONE won’t increase their **Services** Revenues enough to hit Apples goals !
Do you really think APPLE is going to Push the APPLE NEWS PAID SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE with TEXTURE ALONE ... No Way !!!!
“ A new, simplified subscription service covering multiple publications could spur Apple News usage and generate new revenue in a similar manner to the $9.99 per month Apple Music offering. That streaming service was also built through an acquisition: Apple bought Beats Music and the Beats audio device business in 2014 for $3 billion. At the time, Beats Music had fewer than a million subscribers, and Apple has turned that into more than 40 million paying users.
Apple needs successes like that to meet a bold target for its services division. Sales from that segment grew 23 percent to $30 billion in the company’s 2017 fiscal year. Executives have said they’re targeting services revenue of roughly $50 billion by 2021. During a recent earnings conference call, Apple told analysts it had a total of 240 million paid subscriptions, with 58 percent year-over-year growth.”

***Apple needs an INTERNATIONAL SOLUTION to help Reach its Services Goal ... that Solution IMO is .. ****PIXELMAGS / Readr **** Baby !!!
Worldwide, however, Android smartphones account for 85% market share. Pixel Mags identified the need to offer Readr on these devices to support our publishers demands and also to provide reading access for customers where Android dominates their market”...

C4CP.. yup I’ve transitioned over to it !
I just don’t want any more *Fee Surprises* from TD.
I haven’t sold any SPCL so that’s why I’m asking if they’re are any OTHER fees I can expect besides the $6.95.
( today I got wacked $285.00 TA Fee on another Stock I sold for only $6.10 from TD)
PIXL
Anyone here Traded any SPCL shares thru TD Ameritrade?
Wondering what the Bottom Line fees are. I was told $6.95 Total... that’s it !
Any TA fees passed in upon sale of SPCL ?
PIXL
Let you know as I have opened up
a case at TD. Should hear the results this week.
PIXL
Anyone here switch over from Scottrade to TD Ameritrade?
I was told the transaction was going to be seamless and $6.95 was the ONLY FEE ... period !!!
I just closed out a whopping $6.10 worth of an old stock and was charged a “Misc Journal Entry Fee” of $285.00 from the Transfer Agent.
Scottrade did NOT pass any of these TA fees to the customer but apparently TD does ???
Has anyone here been charged this “Misc Journal Entry Fee” on SPCL ?
Just wondering if I’m going to have anymore $uprises.

A New News App
“Google praised the importance of journalism and announced a new Google News app for Android devices, iPhones, and the web. It comes with a built-in subscriptions tool making it easier for readers to pay for digital magazines and newspapers. It also has a tab for suggested news and can play video. Sound familiar? It looks like the Google version of the Apple News service launched in 2015. Apple News is getting its own upgrade in the next year with a Netflix-style subscription service, Bloomberg News has reported.”

Powerful Partnerships
"We attribute our growth 150 percent to our partnership with Apple," Marquis says. "We were selling magazines via Apple products before, but when Apple came up with the Newsstand, so many more consumers became aware of the ability to read magazines via their mobile devices."
https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/223727
“Newsstand was replaced by Apple News in 2015, but still has those same subscription options included within the app.”
“Apple is one of the companies currently in the running to become the world's first company valued at $1 trillion, and is apparently looking to increase its annual service revenue to $50 billion by 2021, so we can probably expect to see more expansion efforts from Apple in the coming months.”

“Over the next five years, we think there’s going to be one single offering for video, music and print content. These essentially vertical subscriptions are focused on one type of content – music, video (Netflix or HBO) or print. So the concept is to create all-in-one offerings for different types of media,” said Munster.”

“Following Texture Acquisition, Apple Reportedly Planning News Subscription Service”
“It's now been a little over a month since Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) agreed to acquire Texture, a subscription-based magazine service that was in part owned by several prominent magazine publishers. No financial terms were disclosed, but it was fairly obvious that Apple would likely use the acquisition to create its own subscription-based news or magazine service of some kind. Texture had previously said it had hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and Apple can easily help scale that figure into the millions when factoring its marketing muscle and large installed base.”

“But it wasn't just Texture's look and feel that attracted Apple's interest. In an interview on Monday, Apple's head of software and services, Eddy Cue, said Apple wanted to use the app to bring quality journalism to its users. “
"We wanted to bring trusted sources to users in a beautiful layout," Cue said, according to Sara Fischer, a reporter for the news website Axios. "We wanted to bring them trusted sources so we don't have to worry about a lot of the problems in the marketplace."

“A subscription news service would beef up Apple's services, which include storage through iCloud and music streaming through Apple Music.

“Apple is poised to take another swing at news subscriptions and this time it might work”
If Apple incorporates its new service into the News platform, articles would be rich and animated, and like Apple Music, Apple could suggest articles and publications based on your reading habits, spotlight trending stories, and create “playlists” of like-minded articles.
Apple could simultaneously create and own a digital news service that combines Texture’s interface with Apple’s smart layout design and focus on breaking news. It would be like Google Reader on steroids.
But the killer feature would be cross-platform compatibility. While Apple doesn’t yet offer an Android version of its News app, Texture is available in the Google Play Store, much like Beats Music was when Apple bought the company back in 2014. Even when it shuttered Beats Music to launch Apple Music a year later, it made a version for the Play Store that’s just as good as the iOS one. I suspect an all-you-can-read Apple service would be just as popular on Android as iOS, especially as publishers look for an alternative to Facebook.
