Good morning. It’s looking like another great day to be invested in AAPL. Pre-market is green by $2.80+ at the moment. And nothing but positive news stories about Apple. A good day to make some money!

Apple saw a significant jump in smartphone shipments in China last month thanks in part to the popularity of the iPhone 11 iPhone growth in China

I think we have all seen analysts make fools of themselves by trying to estimate iPhone sales over the years. However, this may be an entirely new level of foolery. Rosenblatt estimated on 12/17 that iPhone sales in China were down 30%+ for Q4 and now Chinese government estimates are 10%+ increase.
Also: Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster. Used to work for Apple many years ago (left in 2012) and kept stock.

Here’s a different look at things from someone named “Device Atlas.” It is based on device activity rather than sales, so there is some question about exactly what the results mean, but clearly one indication is that some iPhone owners keep theirs for a while. We used to be on a bi-yearly cycle, but have now passed that milestone.

I know you are a busy man (just finished today’s posted articles), but I am sure none of us will complain if you want to try out some thoughts here once in awhile. You have been a stalwart in what has often been a sea of naysayers (e.g., the raft of anal-ists with currently underwater price targets).

Ugh, Scott Wapner was on CNBC bleating that AAPL is "stratospheric." AAPL dipped right after that, but I know it's not correlative.
Just once I want to hear someone respond to such a dopey talking head, "Compared to what?!?!? A 26 PE for a company printing a billion a day last quarter! Why do the other FAANG's deserve higher PE's than AAPL?"
Very low bar to appear on CNBC.
I forgot to mention: Weeeeeeeeee.

Hmmmm, another lurker. Thanks PED, for all that you do. Pick up some shares sometime! It’s a good day for us low-volume folks to reflect and celebrate. I’m sure everyone will be bickering next week. Thanks from this quarter too, Mr Elmer-De Witt! I always enjoy your reportage.

No matter how many times I watch that keynote, I get chills. There was only one Steve. Looking at some of my AAPL shares with a $.59 cost basis, and I am very happy today. 📈

PED’s most recent article is followed by a lengthy comment that nicely lays out the effects of the buybacks. I lay no claim to being a highly sophisticated investor, but perhaps you may also find it worthwhile.

Life is good for $AAPL investors when Apple is buying back its stock, and Gregg Thurman is buying back all of his cars from 2009.
