This is the place to come if you have something to say about Apple/AAPL instead of assault weapons.

I’ll have to check into this with Aetna. I have an Aetna advantage plan currently but my plan is being dropped & I haven’t checked out their replacement plans. I would like to upgrade to a new Apple Watch.

getting pretty weird... it's the 3rd time in a month that rod hall is doing the dog and pony show with his $165 target! one would think this bold call would be a career-ending move for a stock analyst, but that's not how sell-side works ped has a good take ( link) thinking rod hall is trolling at this point... also has a link from last year (2018) or rod hall throwing the towel and raising to $240... less than month before the slump to $142 began
so... just use rod hall as another contrarian indicator! (in addition to our own sponge)

Don't forget a possible good news Ming-chi-Kuo is predicting that Apple will be releasing an AR glass soon next year.

Michael Farr of Farr, Miller & Washington on CNBC Fast Money Halftime report thinks APPL is reasonably priced..."It's a slow tech, it's not a fast tech, it's not a hot tech, it's still a gadget company, they haven't made the shift to service..."
That is not how I would describe Apple. I do wish CNBC would add investment performance stats of their guests to the chyron as they are talking. Wonder if doing so would alter Rod Halls drivel?

I would like to upgrade to a new Apple Watch. Medicare is already hopelessly insolvent by any GAAP accounting metrics, so we stockholders might as well get on the gravy train before it crashes.

Nice trolling. Hopefully we’ll have competent leadership some time in the near future that can do the work necessary to ensure long-term financial stability for Medicare.

Last time I checked Medicare never missed a payment. PG&E is in bankruptcy and is shaking down the state with a phony shut down of the grid for nearly a million customers because of 25 MPH winds. And 5 more days to check the lines afterwards. That is capitalism. Apple has a great opportunity with medical uses for a wrist band. Lets hope they can max that out.

Don't forget a possible good news Ming-chi-Kuo is predicting that Apple will be releasing an AR glass soon next year. I have not yet seen what I consider to be the killer app for AR. There are a number of cute/interesting demos out there, but this is different from mobile phones. The whole premise/promise of AR is that it is immersive in some way. I doubt very much that AR glasses are going to be something owned by the average person on the street, the way that mobile phones are now, never mind distracting the user from whatever they theoretically are or should be doing, which is unfortunately where we are going, or perhaps already are, with mobile phones. I just don't think the day will come when we'll see lots of folks walking down the street with AR glasses on. I do think, rather, that certain industries will find AR to be helpful, and perhaps revolutionary, in the ability or quality or speed of executing tasks that they are already doing or have not yet figured out a way to perform effectively. Now don't get me wrong, there will certainly be educational and entertainment uses for AR. But there again, the major advances will be driven by the industries involved, not individuals. BWDIK. I welcome the thoughts of others.

The market is making a downturn AH with the news that US-China deal has NOT made progress at the deputy level.
AAPL is down around 223.

And 5 more days to check the lines afterwards. That is capitalism. Apple has a great opportunity with medical uses for a wrist band. Lets hope they can max that out. Last time I checked, Enron never missed a payment until it ceased as an operating concern. GAAP accounting means you have to ACCOUNT for all future liabilities, not just this week's bills. By any GAAP accounting, the US cannot possibly pay for its future Medicare liabilities. You can "hope and change" all you want, but our graying demographics don't lie. L-O-F-ing-L! PG&E is a highly regulated, public utility, overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission, with a government-created monopoly, not some free market actor. Solidly, hopelessly Democrat California allowed supposedly regulated PG&E to embezzle all of the money it had earmarked for grid maintenance and repair. Editorial: More evidence the state Public Utilities Commission has failed Californians "We're the government and we're here to help!"
