I'm liking these days that AAPL is beating the market! ...and GOOGL, AMZN, NFLX, FB and TSLA I didn't think that $189 level was necessarily going to happen this week, but it looks like it will. Tack this up as one more time that buying when the RSI got to or even under 30 would have been a good or even great time to buy. Coulda woulda shoulda.

I normally don't like the auto-video plays on finance.yahoo.com, but they were showing a clip of the Walmart shareholder's meeting, and I turned on the sound to see what was going on. (parts are still going...and they left a mic on in the control booth. oops)
While a little clumsy in their banter, the part they showed was a spruced up version that you would expect to see at a MWSF Keynote, and even a sea of shareholders cheering every tiny thing. While I haven't been to an Apple shareholder's meeting in maybe 13 years, and haven't been to any giant ones like Berkshire's, this looked like quite a spectacle.
One thing that was interesting was the focus on a bunch of smaller performance increases, whether it was in-store searching at Sams Club, increasing the website checkout speed by 4x, or supply line improvements. These were all at Sams Club.
(He's talking about in-house delivery and returns right now, having someone come right into your house, or leaving something on the table to return. Not something I quite want, but I can see it for some, and it would get rid of all of these darn boxes. I'm using Amazon Prime for a couple months, and the boxes do stack up a little quicker)
But to me it's still impressive what Apple has done, and there's something I've never seen talked about. Back just over 20 years ago there was a push for "Just in Time" deliveries. I was working at Sandia National Laboratories at the time, (even there for a summer in Albuquerque, Walter) and they made a big deal about it. Ideally, it gets you the stuff quickly, but also saves you having (and paying for) stock on your shelves just to have it when you need it. And that's all great, until there's a hiccup in delivery, or you need a lot of something quickly.
But Apple does something interesting that makes a lot of sense (or rather they did when I last ordered some things from the Apple Online Store, quite a few years ago). Just based on the tracking info I saw, they preshipped stock configurations. So buying an iMac, you could look at the tracking log, and see that it shipped before I ordered it!
That was impressive to me, knocking maybe a day off of shipping times, since it looks like they get it into the line, and then just update the final destination info once it's actually ordered.
Do other companies do this, kind of a hybrid JIT system? It seems so obvious, like express delivery for the cost of ground, and yet over the years I haven't seen anything about it.

Well the stock went up like expected. The amount was the surprise. What helps is the volume and size for further upside.
Now on to next week. We broke the 190 barrier so we should climb beyond that now. RSI is only at 55 so I would like to see it go beyond 70
MACD histogram turned very bullish as the lines flipped. So we could even see a move over 200 by the time this ends. Too early to tell right now.
My target for bailing out on my calls will be 198.
Put interest at 185 is going up for OE June 21. So we could see profit taking the week of Jun 21

It's amazing how difficult it is to search up a word in the title...at least in my aging OS the "look up" option isn't available. And then once I did open the Dictionary app, it didn't have the work, instead giving guesses at slang. Google to the rescue. Wikipedia says: "Foveated imaging is a digital image processing technique in which the image resolution, or amount of detail, varies across the image according to one or more "fixation points." A fixation point indicates the highest resolution region of the image and corresponds to the center of the eye's retina, the fovea." Thanks for the interesting links

Options-wise, AAPL is free to climb to $200 in the next 2 weeks. There's some pressure at $187 today but probably not enough to take it there. WWDC as an event was huge and bodes well for AAPL longs. I bought the dip 3x this week based on what Apple announced on Monday.

Appleinsider has PSA for parents: Apple Camp reservations start on June 17We've never done the camp, normally staying local with our library (they have some VR headsets, an upgraded 3d printer, and coding classes) instead of driving out of the basin, but might think about it this summer if the timing works.

While Wikipedia is very useful, sometimes you get the likes of this, from our science fair a few years ago: References: I saw the information on the Internet.

Thanks for that. I'll watch it shortly. Good piece on what the iPad update tells us about where Apple wants it to go. Strikes me as probably mostly right. www.zdnet.com/article/forget-macos-the-ipad-is-now-apples-mobile-computing-future/I look at the iPad - Mac debate as a competition, and I suspect Apple does too. It's not so much wanting something to happen as predicting how a competition will eventually turn out. With the original iPhone there was a competition that Scott Forstall's team won with a shrunk-down edition of OS X. I think we're seeing a similar thing play out with the iPad - Mac issue. Apple is good at working hard and then lettings things turn out as they turn out, not trying to idealistically force a certain desired outcome. I'd say that's the product equivalent of what philosophers call "carving the world at the joints".

While Wikipedia is very useful, sometimes you get the likes of this, from our science fair a few years ago: References: I saw the information on the Internet. I love wikipedia. For cities or towns, counties or provinces, etc they show pictorially the relationship to the whole in a way you can immediately grasp. There are those who want to cast doubt on the veracity of information, but I think they underestimate how dubious was/is much of the information in print. It was always a bad idea to trust info without references, and not to question even the references. I grew up with an Encyclopedia Brittanica set that was very useful and good. But we found out later that the section on the Soviet Union was farmed out to Soviet authorities, and how often experts were writing what are now easily recognized as poor and failed ideologies. And on and on. So IMHO rather than seeing wikipedia as dubious because of the ease of finding info on the internet, people should be reflecting on how dubious was and is much of the information floating around since ever.
