Warren Buffet quote, via PED comments section:
“When I buy Apple, I know that Apple is going to repurchase a lot of shares,” he said. “We own about 5 percent. But I know I don’t have to do a thing and probably in a couple of years we’ll own 6 percent without laying out another dollar. Well, I love the idea of having 5 percent go to 6 percent. The cheaper the stock is the more they will get for their money. There is no reason at all for me to encourage other people to buy Apple.”

I know Bill has respect for Apple and SJ, and has said positive things, but I'm sure things like this must be hard to say this given the competition Microsoft has had with Apple in the past: "Apple's an amazing company, and the multiple's not gigantic," Gates told CNBC's "Squawk Box" Monday from Omaha, where Berkshire Hathaway held a weekend of events around Saturday's annual meeting. "The top tech companies do have a very strong profit position right now but Apple has the most of all." www.cnbc.com/2018/05/07/apple-is-an-amazing-company-says-bill-gates.htmlHey, they did a great job of summarizing that just in the URL itself.

When an analyst gives a price target, is there an implied time frame? Are they saying it will hit XXX in 12 months? Since most investing is done based on rate of return, what is the unspoken other part of the equation? [(A * B) + X - Y - Z - C= 12 month target A = %gross profit B =12 month increase in %gross profit) X = current revenue Y = FUD Z = I’m a brain dead analyst pulling numbers out my .... C = Supply chain channel garbage

C = Supply chain channel garbage THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!I've constantly wondered why some analysts are so certain that AAPL is going to go to zero. Not just flat, or down a little, but to zero. Now that we have their secret formula, one can clearly see it's a missing end-bracket. Those pesky formulas. One wrong or missing keystroke and they all go to heck.

While I've never actually kept track, I would say that a majority of his headlines have some overly dramatic adjective in them with a negative slant of course. A quick internet search provided the following samples: Apple iOS 11.2.6 Release Has A Nasty Surprise - Forbes Apple iOS 11.2.5 Release Has A Nasty Surprise - Forbes Apple 'Confirms' iPhone 8 Has A Nasty Surprise Iphone SE2 Leak reveals disappointing design decision It's really just pathetic.

Anyone else find a gain of 1.33 disappointing?

Anyone else find a gain of 1.33 disappointing? I certainly do but truth be told I always give this kind of period about a week before thinking about it too much. At least it's quite often been that way after earnings and I'd consider Buffet's news and comments of similar import.

Anyone else find a gain of 1.33 disappointing? That just means it will take 9.12781954887218 days to get to the trillion dollar valuation.
