This is an unstoppable train. Wonder where we’ll be at when 1Q earnings come out. Not sure how big of a move we’ll see if we keep this up.
Jobs numbers were good this morning. Should keep adding fuel to the fire. Love watching the 401k hit all time highs.

Yes, yes but most importantly, what is Colin Gillis saying?

Never thought I would say this this soon but didn't we consider a meet up in Vegas when we hit 200. ( throws salt over left shoulder to avoid jinx) Looks like we may need to make reservations in January baring some black swan event. Im in . Eric in Austin

Yes, yes but most importantly, what is Colin Gillis saying? I'm wondering too. The last time I remember seeing him was when AAPL was on its way back up, around 115. Gillis was on CNBC pounding the table that AAPL was a sell. He may gone so far as to suggest it as a short (although I don't remember for sure). Either way, he was spewing the same old arguments, and he couldn't have been more wrong.

Reuters
"With the latest brokerage actions, at least seven Wall Street analysts now have target prices for Apple that put its market value above $1 trillion. Drexel Hamilton's Brian White is still the most bullish among Apple analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters, raising his target price further to $235."

Well I'm disappointed in the follow through. With a report like the one had yesterday, we should be up 10% ..... I guess the run up to earnings helps that case but I'd still like a little more .
Regardless .... a great time to be in Apple. Can you just imagine how much revenue they will generate this quarter ?
And once again .... we really need Tim to revisit the cash issue, maybe we are set to get some kind of incentive to bring that cash back ? But with so much of it .... what to do ? I would really hope Apple starts to pay a reasonable dividend as the current one is really a pittance.
Cheers to the longs !

IN for a Vegas meetup -- I think it was originally planned for when we hit $1000.
I had forgotten about Collin Gillis - maybe he's too busy with hair dye to monkey around with AAPL price targets.
Only anecdotal info to back this up - but guessing that it may have been the discounted iPhone 7 that helped us and not the 8 selling better than reported last qtr.
Looks like we might fill the gap today -- why not get it over with...

Let's not forget about our dear friend Edward Zabitsky ..... predicting a $270 on Apple when it was trading in the mid 300 range. That's $38 a share with the split .....

Lots of naysayers along the way. Somehow there are analysts who still want to jump on the negative train.

I would really hope Apple starts to pay a reasonable dividend as the current one is really a pittance. Cheers to the longs ! I was all for paying the tax hit to do a (even more) massive buyback in the $90s and low $100s. The reasoning was the stock was clearly undervalued by much more than the extra tax Apple would have to pay. At $170 though, they should wait for a tax break to bring the money back. If and when it happens I expect more opportunistic buybacks and stronger dividend hikes in the range of 15%+.

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. LUCA: We also returned $11.7 billion to investors during the quarter. We paid $3.4 billion in dividends and equivalents and spent $4.5 billion on repurchases of 30.4 million Apple shares through open market transactions.

While still enjoying the euphoria resulting from Apple's earnings yesterday, I stumbled across this video that told a little of the backstory of that Super Bowl ad that many of the older people on the board remember seeing live, 33 years ago. Nice to think about how successful the company has been since those days and, judging from yesterday's earnings report, how successful the company will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Real Story Behind Apple's Famous '1984' Super Bowl Ad

I don't even remember the last time we were up the day after earnings, especially after a run-up into them. Good time to be long!

Drexel Hamilton's Brian White is still the most bullish among Apple analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters, raising his target price further to $235." Remember when Brian White had a $1111.00 price target which was viewed as really out there... That's $157.71 pre-split

Received my iPhone X a little while ago but can't activate it. Apparently Apple's activation servers are overwhelmed. I guess that's a good thing. I'll wait until tonight.
