Anyone Else having this Issue with iTunes on a Mac?
Using Apple music under the "For You" or "Browse" Tabs:
Library is working as expected but am unable to "click into" Albums or Playlists in the For You or Browse sections to see listed songs. They will play however. Also I appear to be unable to open the "For You" Tab on clicking on it it opens the "Browse" Tab. Interestingly the "Store" section works normally. Update: Under The Account Menu I selected: Choose Artists for you and selected some different Artists and then was able to access the "For You" section again though still can't "click into" Playlists to see content.
Seems to be affecting quite a few users Worldwide with posts on Apple support Forums and in Macrumors Forums.

Article about stock buybacks happening in a currently high valued market. www.wsj.com/articles/stock-buybacks-are-booming-but-share-prices-arent-budging-1531054801?mod=hp_lead_pos5 [$] I think I made a previous post indicating that buybacks loose their power as a stocks P/E hits ~ 22. AAPL has a ways to go before they are buying back at a then "inflated" value, say over ~P/E 25. Also, Apple's management is aligned with us shareholders, not a formula that encourages management to game their earnings to get big bonuses. (A ways to go, example... An AAPL price of $270/ by mean estimate next fiscal year earnings (yahoo) $13.12 = P/E 20.579) "Some share buybacks do pay off, but that tends to be among companies that show a high level of sales and earnings growth on their own, analysts say. Apple Inc., AAPL 1.39% for example, has bought back $22.8 billion worth of stock so far this year. Its shares have risen 11%, with much of the boost coming after it reported strong gains in second-fiscal-quarter revenue and profit—as well as a record $100 billion plan to buy back more stock." S&P 500: Current: 25.2 Mean: 15.70 Median: 14.69 Min: 5.31 (Dec 1917) Max: 123.73 (May 2009)

iPhone X sales proportion continues to increase. And 8, 8s, and X ramping fine. New models this fall should do well. I'm feeling comfortable holding cash generating and cash rich AAPL, while concerned that it and the market may take a hit.

That means there are a lot of 6's 5's and a few 4's out there. So 40% of iPhones out there need to be replaced soon.

Yes! The growing size of the installed base, old and new is positive. Becoming less critical is whether the replacement cycle is 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. Its a strong base for services and future hardware sales.
The battery upgrade program may have dampened upgrades this year, but earnings have been strong.
We’re unlikely to see a super cycle the likes of the large screen 6+ - which we’re seeing is OK. I think we’re past the tough compares.
Next year should be very strong.
