My memory has failed me. I had remembered AAPL tending to have a relative peak somewhere between about a week before the iPhone announcements or right at the release. That whole "buy on rumor, sell on news" thing, plus people trying to find some flaw with the device or the fact that more people want ones than can be produced, while at the same time delaying a release to give more product doesn't make sense either. But, looking at the 5 year chart, for most years a relative peak was roughly around the end of October, with mid-oct to late nov being the range. (The iPhone's 5 year chart works great, especially scrubbing through. Stockcharts is nice too, stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AAPL&p=D&yr=5&mn=0&dy=0&id=p83112066457 ) The exception was 2012, where the stock peaked out at $100 in mid sept. Obviously not all years are the same, and there are a lot of outside factors on this. Maybe this is just the whole "losses are remembered more than gains" psychology, and so I'm remembering 2012 as the rule instead of as exception or a non-standard. Either way, it's interesting (to me at least) to see. Looking at weekly options last night, there's a decent amount of calls at 162.5 and 165, and a smaller amount of puts at 162.5. Ending at a round value like 164.00 always makes me wonder if forces are at work, and it seems like some of these "more-up weeks" tend to slow by the end of the week, with a run up some on Thursday but then pulling back a buck, and then a range of +/- $1 on Friday, but ending flat for the day. Maybe a coincidence that the mind thinks is something? Maybe people canceling out some options? And then with this long weekend, I'd imagine risk management would get some to sell a little beforehand, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock end flat or down as much as a buck. Let's see. Always an interesting ride, and often fun too. Have a great long weekend!

Holy crap - if you haven't already looked at the story from Mashable that Since84 posted - go do it now! I think they're on to something or have already dropped too much acid - I disagree with their thesis on use of Red, White and Blue though - I think there will be a made in the USA connection somewhere in the Sept 12 presentation.

So happy that Cook is taking Siri from Cue, and giving it to Federighi. Siri has fallen so behind as you all well know. It's been a nightmare for me personally. I complained to my niece - the Apple Genius - and she said it's embarrassing how far behind Siri has fallen and that lots of people are complaining. Looks like PED is thinking along those lines as well. This was dropped in my mailbox earlier:
A change at the top, spotted by MacRumors, confirmed by Apple PR. From the Wall Street Journal ($):
Apple Inc. has shifted oversight of its Siri voice-assistant team to Craig Federighi, putting the product in the hands of the technology giant’s top software engineer as it contends with rising competition from rivals such as Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc.
The decision moves control of Siri away from another senior vice president, Eddy Cue, who had overseen it since 2012. It takes place as Siri is increasingly enmeshed in Apple’s personal computer and smartphone operating systems, which Mr. Federighi also manages...
The new role was noted on Friday in a change to Mr. Federighi’s biography on Apple’s website. An Apple spokeswoman confirmed the change but declined to comment further...
Gene Munster, an analyst with Loup Ventures, said that Mr. Federighi brings more of a technical background than Mr. Cue, who heads internet software and services and has led Apple’s push into content by striking deals with music labels and Hollywood studios. Mr. Munster expects Mr. Federighi to open up Siri to more third-party developers, allowing those outsiders to use the service much like he has done with iOS.
“This whole area around voice is getting super competitive and it’s important Apple steps up their game,” Mr. Munster said. “This change to Craig overseeing Siri is one way to do that.”
My take: Smart move, just in time.
