Loved the Resy article. So many ways a device with NFC could be used in hospitality. Remember the apps that let people "bump" money to friends? Guess what: Apple Watch could do that. Some of what Resy wants to do would depend on all members of a dining party having a pre-loaded account and app loaded. To scale, the function would eventually need a back-end API or pre-installed application. Exciting times.

Amazing how precise these professionals can be with predictions. /s Is it art, or is it science? Thank goodness he didn't drop his price target all the way down to $113.76 like he first intended to do. Can't argue with his premise that "iPhone sales COULD peter out in the coming months" except to point out that iPhone sales could also continue at a high level in the coming months as more of the configurations become readily available.
Barclays Removes Apple From "Top Pick" List (AAPL) By Rakesh Sharma | September 29, 2016 — 10:25 AM EDT
Investment firm Barclays trimmed its price target for Apple Inc. (AAPL) and removed the stock from its “Top Pick” list this morning. Mark Moskovitz, analyst for the firm, revised his price target for the Cupertino company to $114 from $115 but maintained the stock's “overweight” rating. The move was meant to “signal near-term tumult after the stock’s recent run.”
That tumult could take on two forms. First, a recovery in global smartphone shipment could be “pushed out.” Smartphone shipments have declined in recent months due to a global economic slowdown and absence of a product that excites customers. Earlier this month, research firm IDC cut its forecast for global smartphone shipments by 1.5% to a 1.6% increase to 1.46 billion units this year. A senior research analyst at the firm said growth in the market now consisted of replacing users’ existing handset rather than finding out new users. Barclays has estimated an increase of 2.6% in smartphone unit growth and a decline of 2.9% in revenue for the smartphone market. (See also: iPhone 7 Plus Stock Sold Out).
Second, Moskovitz stated that iPhone sales could peter out in the coming months. According to him, something similar had occurred after the release of iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6. “It has been suggested to us that late 2016 could be similar to late 2015, when smartphone builds fell precipitously,” he wrote.
Moskovitz’s note comes a day after reports that Apple had increased its parts and components orders for the iPhone 7. According to a report in Taiwanese publication Digitimes, the Cupertino company has increased its orders for the fourth quarter by 20% to 30%. The company has refused to disclose opening weekend sales, only stating that the iPhone 7 Plus was sold out. However, analysts have come up with their estimates and concluded that sales trends for the new phones were similar to those for the previous editions – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S Plus.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the impact of Deutsche Bank tomorrow? Some commentators on the internet are acting like tomorrow is the end of the world...
It doesn't help that George Soros is rumored to have taken a big position against them.

This is a subliminal, and the msg is... iPhone 7 users (and AAPL stock holders) are being victimized unfairly by Kooks (the Evil Overlords of Wall Street). Saint Cloud is a very small place. I wonder if this one is actually real, usually highly publicized stories like this are completely fabricated, but in a small town that would be a lot harder to pull off. Having worked in the Media Racket, I'll fill you in as to how it works. If you hear a lot about it going forward than its fake. If you don't hear anymore about it, it's real.

EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE I believe is correct. I am very familiar with SAINT CLOUD. BOTH of my parents were from towns nearby. The story was in the SAINT CLOUD TIMES, a GANNETT PUBLICATION. THE STORY is from the 19th, the Monday morning newspaper following the Saturday night assaults. I have no reason to doubt the veracity of the quote from the parents.
