Good afternoon all. It seems a little late to start the daily thread, but I wanted to see things continue here. There are a number of news stories out there, but the one that appears to pulling AAPL down today is from The Street: Yes, Apple Could Delay Shipments of the iPhone X Until DecemberWhether it's true or not, how many f'n times can a story be run about an iphone delay? Or in this case a possible iphone delay? It's also possible this author steps off a curb between now & December and gets hit by a bus, but I don't see any stories about that. Ugh.

I thought the drop was because of the tax issue in Ireland

I thought the drop was because of the tax issue in Ireland ? ...Something new regarding the Ireland tax issue?

Today's dip is a bit mysterious.
The article about X being delayed to December is just a wild guess and isn't getting any attention. Ireland's tax issue is not really alarming. And Google's Pixel phones are just ordinary - nothing attractive for the high price tag.
So it could just be that some big guys might have started dumping some of their AAPL holdings right from pre-market hours to buy something else at the beginning of this new quarter.

Sometimes a flock of birds abruptly turns left. Not for any obvious reason. They just do. Don't read too much into it.

IMHO, aapl volume is light this week so we get a drift downward with traders rotating into more active stocks.

The Pixel 2 is no threat to Apple. Google isn't a leader in hardware, but a follower. They copied Portrait Mode. They copied the high end Home Pod. They copied Air Pods - exactly. They copied the lack of headphone jack. Their new "active edge" to invoke Assistant seems pointless when you can just say "I love Google," or "Sell my info," or whatever you say to an Android. Buying HTC seems pointless if they have no ideas of their own.
