The full mad money interview is at video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000615578Good talking points, plus the new $1B announcement. 24 minutes long. It's also on the "old" Apple campus. Kinda a strange spot, just behind and to the side of IL 1. I don't remember the exact spot, but it looks to be off to the side enough that everyone is still able to walk by on the normal mid-campus paths. Alas, no plum trees flowering (I remember the ones across from Cafe Macs, which the camera views mostly miss), but it's a beautiful lush campus...all on top of an underground parking garage. I'd expect the new campus to be similar, but with more non-grass spots due to it's larger size. AAPL down a little. Not bad to have another consolidation period here, a little higher than the last, and knocking the RSI back down to 50. Give it 2-3 weeks, just in time for people to then think about WWDC. The bullish option is some analysts starting to raise their targets next week, once earnings are digested....but that seems unlikely during this quiet quarter going into summer. The bearish option is the stock flatlining or trending downward until July, as has happened several times in the recent past...but I think the new iPhone on the horizon is going to keep the stock from any significant downward trend during this timeframe. Of course with this typical quiet time, save WWDC which focuses on software unless there is hardware that needs software, it is the perfect time to switch attention to something new, if there were something new that was ready. Or maybe it's just some downtime around moving into their new digs.

AND NOW: 5,332,313,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of October 14, 2016. 55,230,000 net share reduction in quarter 5,246,540,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, issued and outstanding as of January 20, 2017 10Q investor.apple.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1628280-17-717&CIK=320193 85,773,000 reduction LUCA: We returned almost $15 billion to investors during a very busy December quarter for our capital return activities. We paid $3.1 billion in dividends and equivalents. We spent $5 billion on repurchases of 44.3 million Apple shares through open market transactions. And we launched a new $6 billion ASR, resulting in an initial delivery and retirement of 44.8 million shares. We also completed our eighth accelerated share repurchase program, retiring an additional 4.4 million shares. This led to a net diluted share count reduction of 65.3 million shares during the quarter. We've now completed $201 billion of our current $250 billion capital return program, including $144 billion in share repurchases. And we plan to provide investors with our annual update on the capital return program in the spring. AND NOW: 5,213,840,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, issued and outstanding as of April 21, 2017 32,700,000 reduction Luca Maestri: We returned over $10 billion to investors during the quarter. We paid $3 billion in dividends and equivalents, and we spent $4 billion on repurchases of 31.1 million Apple shares through open market transactions. We also launched a new $3 billion ASR, resulting in initial delivery and retirement of 17.5 million shares. And we retired 6.3 million shares upon the completion of our ninth accelerated share repurchase program in February. All these activities contributed to a net diluted share count reduction of 66.3 million shares in the quarter. We have now completed $211.2 billion of our $250 billion capital return program, including $151 billion in share repurchases. As Tim mentioned, today we're announcing an update to our program, which we are extending by four quarters through March of 2019, and increasing in size to a total of $300 billion. Once again, given our strong confidence in Apple's future and the value we see in our stock, we are allocating the majority of the program expansion to share repurchases. Our board has increased the share repurchase authorization by $35 billion, raising it from the current $175 billion level to $210 billion. We will also continue to net share settle vesting employees' restricted stock units.

Just reported that Buffet sold 1/3 of his IBM position. Don't understand why he even bought it to begin with.
