Massive Volume
Bawahhhhhhhhhhha
Please elaborate as to what the potential for CYBL is.
Other way around - Disney bought a huge chunk of 21st Century Fox
The idea of AAPL buying Disney is intriguing and seems like a better fit than building cars.

Thanks for the link, however that article is from January of 2017; several months before Apple moved in to the new headquarters, so it seems unlikely people were leaving due to the lack of cubicle privacy as the other post claimed.
Yes people are leaving Apple for Tesla, but just a short time ago Apple was poaching from Tesla for the secret car project which they have now abandoned.

I agree with Ramp Worm - Apple should buy Disney
Any links to support this?
Seems highly unlikely that AAPL is "about to go down"
"Sales of the iPhone X may have been slower than expected, but Apple still got the top position over Samsung in the last quarter of 2017.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release that the iPhone X was "the top-selling iPhone every week since it shipped in November," and the pricier iPhone lineup scored all-time records in quarterly profit and revenue.
Think POTUS will be tweeting about this weeks market action any time soon? ;)
I'm with you - now is the time to buy more AAPL.

That is the thing that drives me crazy about the DJIA - they can just dump underperforming stocks so that the average continues to climb. It's just a promotional tool and not an accurate gauge of market activity. The S&P 500 or Russell 2000 are much better barometers. Dumping GE would be like changing half your fantasy football team at the end of every quarter.
The extremely heavy volume yesterday and today are ominous signs.
Might be best to jump out and wait a bit.
Any sort of market-wide correction will drag GE down with it I'm afraid.
If it breaks up they may remove it from the Dow 30.
"Apple is pulling ahead of Samsung in new device activations. Samsung is currently sitting at 32% to Apple’s 39%, with LG in third place at 13%, and all other brands chipping in 15%.
According to CIRP’s data, US iPhone activations were up 10 percent in the last quarter of the year, from 29% of all phone activations to 39%. — the change in new activations year-on-year is particularly significant. Over the same period in 2016, Apple’s market share was at 34%, meaning that it finished 2017 with a full 5% better market share. All of that can be attributed to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X launch.
Since Apple’s average selling price for a phone (and profit!) is well above all comparable manufacturers, the combination of high profit and high market share means Apple captures the lion’s share of mobile profit in the US. That situation only seems to be getting better for the company."

Agree that a correction is long overdue. Markets getting into Irrational Exuberance territory again.
Has the chart spoken yet?
Shhh... Listen closely.. I think I hear it saying...
The Bottom Is In!
GE Long
Rinse & Repeat
Apple critics jump on rumors and predict doom and gloom - meanwhile sales are breaking records.
App Store Kicks Off 2018 with Record-Breaking Holiday Season
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- App Store® customers around the world made apps and games a bigger part of their holiday season in 2017 than ever before, culminating in $300 million in purchases made on New Year’s Day 2018. During the week starting on Christmas Eve, a record number of customers made purchases or downloaded apps from the App Store, spending over $890 million in that seven-day period.

The alleged "designed obsolescence" battery/ operating system issue will be just like "Bendgate". Lots of media coverage and claims of outrage from upset customers; while Apple quietly fixes the problem and continues to sell millions of products. The pps may dip short term but will recover and continue to grow. Consumers are very forgiving and they want their status symbols.
Long AAPL
Wait - what is going on? GE is up 0.89% right now and the DOW is only up 0.54%!!
To Da Moon!!
All those calling for sub 17 have been proven to be 100% WRONG!!
The Bottom Is In
Very disappointing to see GE establish a new 52 week low; on fairly heavy volume.
Still optimistic that it will rebound in 2018.
GE traded at $17.46 on November 14th.
It has not traded below that level since then.
The PPS is not continuing to decline.
Cree continues to restructure management - firing the head of the lighting division.
PPS continues to perform extremely well; up about 13% this week.
Glad I did not go SHORT!!!!
The DOW average is up today in large part due to the 2.4% gain by Disney.
15 of the 30 stocks in the index are trading lower at the moment.
Means nothing.
Once again GE stayed above $17.46
More confirmation the Bottom Is In.
"GE's stock falls toward Fibonacci support level as charts suggest worst may be over"
There may be a "golden" lining to the recent historic tumble in General Electric Co.'s stock, as it has approached an important long-term chart level at a time when the near-term technical outlook suggests the worst may be over.

The shorts had a great year with GE no doubt.
Time for them to cover and move along.
Maybe try bitcoin or some other over inflated stock.
GE is a SCREAMING BUY right now.
GE stayed above the 52 wk low of $17.46 set on November 14th again today.
The Bottom is in.
Tomorrow's announcement about layoffs is good news for shareholders.
More cost cutting to come through 2018.
This is the time to buy one of America's great corporations at a huge discount.
Did GE trade below 17.46 today?
There is no reasoning with some people.
They can site all of the market share stats they want - none of it matters.
AAPL has the most loyal customer base of any corporation on earth, and the stock has proven to be an outstandingly good investment.
AAPL is up 65% over the last 52 weeks and it drives them crazy.
Excellent article.
Especially this line "All signs point to late 2017 and certainly 2018 being very strong for Apple"
A few of the other highlights;
Android: The discussion around Android's share of the smartphone market became irrelevant a few years back when it became clear that devices running Google's OS would continue to capture roughly 85% of the worldwide smartphone volume.
Despite a slew of very attractive high-end Android products, IDC continues to see Android average selling prices (ASPs) decline and expectations are that the 1.5 billion Android phones that ship in 2021 will have a collective ASP of $198, down from $220 in 2017Q1.
iOS: Coming off the first year in which iPhone shipments declined, expectations are that 2017 volumes will grow 3.8%. IDC slightly lowered its 2017 projections for iOS in its latest forecast to 223.6 million, while increasing its 2018 volumes to 240.4 million. All signs point to late 2017 and certainly 2018 being very strong for Apple as much of its installed base seems ready for a refresh and the next round of iPhones is not likely to disappoint its fans.

CREE continues impressive recovery - up 63% in 3 months. New management making good changes, restructuring debt.
More likely the market is reacting to the news - "Senate GOP bill would delay corporate tax cut until 2019"

Thanks for telling me about investing.com. Saw nothing about patent theft but this bit looked interesting;
Apple market cap hits $900 billion
"Apple Inc. is the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $900 billion market capitalization. The iPhone maker passed the mark for the first time in intraday trade Wednesday, after approaching the mark following an earnings report last week that showed optimism about the iPhone X launch and a recovery in many of Apple's other businesses".
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-market-cap-hits-900-billion-2017-11-08-1210308
And this one:
Apple's iPhone X has higher margin than iPhone 8: analysis
"Apple Inc's new flagship iPhone X makes the company more money per phone than its iPhone 8 model, according to an analysis, which found the iPhone X's flashier parts cost Apple 25 percent more than the iPhone 8, but that it retailed 43 percent higher."
Nobody on I-Hub cares if some guy thinks Sammy makes a better phone. Only thing that matters is EARNINGS.
Can you provide a link to where you read about the alleged patent theft?
How might this affect the price of the stock?
Does it have an impact on earnings?
"Deutsche Bank analysts, however, played down the importance of any cut in iPhone 8 production in favor of iPhone X.
“We think the market could have over-focused on the production swing in different SKUs, but overlooked that the overall iPhone production is largely on track,” they wrote, differentiating between different Taiwanese suppliers."

Please share the evidence of CREE being a "fraud".
AAPL's effective tax rate is 23% now, cutting it to 20% as the administration wants will help a little bit but not that much.
Why should the congress work with a moron who thinks gains in the stock market reduce our national debt?
"The country, we took it over in 20 trillion you know the last eight years they borrowed more than it did in the whole history of our country. So they borrowed more than $10 trillion. Right? And yet we picked up $5.2 trillion just in the stock market. Possibly picked up the whole thing in terms of the first nine months. In terms of value. So you can say in one sense, we are really increasing values and maybe in a sense, we are reducing debt. We are very honored by it and very, very happy by what's happening in Wall Street."
Trump on Hannity 10/11/2017
Please explain why AAPL will "crash" to 125.
What about the rest of the market?
More news -
"iPhone 8, 8 Plus draw Apple fans at launch despite X holdouts"
"As in previous years, the faithful began assembling in Sydney well before doors at Apple's flagship store opened at 8 a.m. AEST"
"Of course, online pre-orders have changed the game, making the queue a demonstration of fandom rather than the quickest route to getting a device from box to hand. And this year, fans were torn between Friday's holiday and its return in a month and a half."

One year ago today AAPL released IPhone 7 with no headphone jack.
Prognosticators went crazy, decrying what a stupid move this was and that
Tim Cook is an idiot who must be replaced.
Since that day the pps has gained almost 40%!
Apple is only just beginning to tap the full potential of the I-Phone/ I-Watch devices and the eco-system they interact with.
It is an indispensable device with the most loyal customer base on the planet.
A great investment.
Ahhh yes of course... just whip up something revolutionary.
Should be easy enough.
Expect stock to sell off later today.
Buy the Rumor - Sell the News
AAPL Long
If AAPL is an unethical POS; then what is Samsung?
"Samsung chief gets 5-year prison term for corruption"
A South Korean court has found Lee Jae-yong, the de facto chief of the sprawling Samsung business empire, guilty of bribery and other corruption charges
http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/25/technology/samsung-verdict-jay-y-lee/index.html
Apparently the Market is not worried about a few customers in Brklyn having a bad day. The future looks strong for AAPL.
Up almost 40% year to date.
$115 to $160 in 8 months!!
AAPL has the most loyal customer base in existence. Nobody camps out overnight to buy an Android phone. Thousands will line up for days to get an iPhone 8.
Also I would suggest reviewing the basics of share structure to gain a better understanding of why the pps of AAPL is lower than Google or other techs.
1st hint would be:
"Shares in Issue" - AAPL = 5.2 Billion, Google = 692 Million
More shares in circulation means they trade at a lower price per share.
You can't compare pps of two different companies and determine which one is more valuable.
Additionally Google does not pay a dividend, AAPL pays $2.52 per share.
I believe that personal shopping experience is not a wise way to make investment decisions.
Happy Trading
