Ok, What did I miss? Why is Yahoo showing 111.60 +0.42 (0.37%) when yesterday's close was $111.73?

Hey just wanted to make sure you didn't miss that one of our members, "neno" started the thread about an hour ago as well so I wanted to include the one thing he/she noted earlier this morning since it's important:
"China mobile data published - more than 18.3M 4G customers
Total of 58M new 4G customers in the quarter, more than any other quarter before - just for comparison, last quarter there were 46.5M new 4G customers.
This probably can't be bad news"

Mr. Cook on Watch sales: "We shipped a lot the first quarter … then last quarter we shipped even more ... And I can predict this quarter we will ship even more."

In other news, GOOG and AMZN getting crushed today. Could money be rotating in to AAPL? I bought some in the money calls to play the break above the 200, hope this is just the beginning.

I love the functionality of Apple Music, and do subscribe. But it only costs $10 per month, and I use it every day. I cannot believe Apple makes money on this. I assume the purposes to deepen the "moat", not to make money directly. Is this true?

From the department of click bait headlines and high comedy: USA today writes "Apple loses millions of Apple Music subscribers". Link not provided. I really would like to know what their beef is with Apple. They make BI look unbiased

According to Chaikin Money Flow, heavy accumulation of AAPL since Sep 20. AAPL is now above the ichimoku cloud, read trend is UP.

Did Tim Cook crash TSLA? Now in woodshed Consumer reports had issues based on customer complaints with the new S model. Apple should learn from this. What ever they come up with better not have any software or battery issues or the stock will drop 20%.

Well, nasdaq.com drank the Koolaid: www.nasdaq.com/article/apple-stock-ready-to-surge-as-competition-dwindles-aapl-cm532369" . . . For AAPL to fall from the top of the smartphone market, and Apple stock to follow, something must emerge to take its place, or at least pose a threat as a legitimate competitor.
In the past, two companies have been the primary cause of headaches for AAPL: Samsung and Xiaomi. However, both companies have struggled as of late, particularly since AAPL launched larger-screen phones.
Xiaomi is largely considered the Chinese copycat of Apple, selling iPhone lookalike phones with Android operating systems. Back in the second quarter of last year, Xiaomi’s smartphone shipments rose 240% to 15 million, which temporarily made it the top smartphone vendor in China.
However, since AAPL launched the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Xiaomi’s fortune has changed. Its growth slowed to just 33% in the first half of this year, and Quartz recently noted that the second quarter showed a slight sequential decline to the first quarter.
So it appears that Xiaomi’s run has at least slowed, if not stopped.
Samsung’s smartphone shipments are expected to total 323.5 million this year. While very impressive on an absolute basis, it represents a 1% loss year-over-year, representing Samsung’s first ever annual decline in smartphone sales.
Therefore, it is safe to say that neither Xiaomi nor Samsung are growing like they once were, if growing at all. Meanwhile, BlackBerry is no longer relevant and Microsoft just took a $7.6 billion write-off related to the handset business it acquired from Nokia.
As a result, there’s really nothing standing in Apple’s way. It is the only company that continues to produce smartphone sales growth, and barring something unseen, things should stay that way."

I've been so busy lately, not a lot of time to comment on things I've wanted to (some AFB denizens might be happy about this ). A few thoughts: Apple doesn't announce a new product in any given quarter: "OMG Apple's doomed, doesn't innovate, too reliant on iPhone for revs!" Apple announces music streaming service: "As if greedy, ubiquitous Apple needs more money!" Always nice to see Tim speaking about Apple in public. I think today's AAPL pop is a recognition that Apple does have some major new recipes cooking in the oven. And yes, this will be at TSLA's expense. WSJ: Apple CEO Tim Cook: "We want people to "have an iPhone experience in their car." I found WSJ's blog coverage of their WSJDLive conference exasperatingly annoying. Those idiots need to STFU and just report what Cook says, not interject with their opinions that NOBODY cares about. Plus, WSJ's blog page just jumped and reloaded incessantly while I was trying to read the archive on my iPhone in Safari. Tech conference tech fail! I wanted to comment on a WSJ story by Daisyduke Wasabi yesterday, just a doozy of metaphors and breathless drama. But it seems to have disappeared, with the critical phrase merged into WSJ's WSJDLive blog. Apparently, a Google News search reveals that there have been several "critical moments for Apple," according to Daisyduke. Apparently, it was critical to the WSJ to hire Daisyduke to cover Apple for exactly this moment: I wish Daisyduke would just tweet exactly when it isn't a critical moment for Apple, so I could relax and have a beer...

Finally. A day where AAPL went against the tide. I hope this portends the end of this rut. I also hope 'someone' has been quietly buying up, understanding that this has been an opportunity.
