one last point......
If you feel bad because YOU said some bad things about someone in the Friday thread, YOU can go back and edit out the bad things.
There is an edit function on every one of your posts.
If YOU thought the points YOU were making were so important, YOU wanted all of humanity to be aware of it, EDIT out the bad stuff.
That way your great grandkids will remember YOU as a fair debater.

Will do.
I will add ... in a much nicer tone:
I do believe that the fact that Donald Trump was born into wealth and never worked an honest day in his life prevents him from understanding what people are going through, in addition I believe his past business record which includes 6 bankruptcies calls into question his business acumen and makes me question his tactics when dealing with trade issues. His lack of decorum with other world leaders has caused a major PR problem for any US based company that tries to do business in other nations, finally his inability to be accurate/honest when speaking about MY favorite fruit company causes me much grief.
And just so you can rest easy .... MY kids know how fair I am and we often discuss/debate what is going on in MY country ... and one day when my kids are grown and have given us grandkids (God willing) I will be proud of what I said during these times.
Cheers to the longs .....

Good gravy, Artman, the emperor's clothes look just GREAT! How's that?
This seems like the perfect place to discuss YOUR president. He has inserted himself into the fortunes of each and every Apple investor, like it or not.
I feel for investors that can't afford to be patient right now, or that are on margin, or leveraged in any way. It is a crazy time that necessitates scanning twitter in real-time for the latest unhinged, unpresidential, market-moving tantrum. The Trump Factor is real, and will only create more uncertainty in the markets, imo. Buckle up.

let us PLEASE be civil. PLEASE BRING ALL OF THESE DISCUSSIONS TO THE DUNGEON No need to SHOUT. OR THE POWERS THAT EXIST (4 of us), WILL start deleting. As long as *all* 4 moderators agree, I'm fine with that. I am a member of another fabulous website, called applesanity. THAT website has ONLY one viewpoint. Applesanity is anti-Trump almost all of the time. THAT website will fail over time, since only one viewpoint is allowed. (https://www.investorvillage.com/groups.asp?mb=13977&pt=m 92 members, Monthly - $8.99 (recurring fee) Less than 30 cents per day) Shoot, that doesn't sound fabulous at all. Would you please invite the other members of Apple Sanity to join us at AFB? YOU can continue this discussion at the dungeon: Trump is MY favorite president since Harry Truman! Trump is the MOST "transparent" president of all times. GOOD & BADI'm not sure how you think this information enhances your point: " Don't discuss anything political except in the dungeon. But, BTW, Trump's my guy!" if TWITTER OR FACEBOOK existed in 1800, Jefferson and Adams would have had a field day. THEY hated each other. IMO, if Twitter or Facebook existed in 1800, neither Jefferson nor Adams would be crass enough to use it as a daily tool to stream insulting and abusive untruths. China is evil. The military/industrial complex exists. GOOGLE is evil. FACEBOOK is evil AMAZON is evil. Interesting.

I will continue my response in the DUNGEONS tonight........ DUNGEONS

I think it is great idea to banish relevant discussion to the dungeon. We should ignore the elephant in the room and only have disagreement about technicals vs. fundamentals. Censorship is for...oh, never mind
Apple does not operate in a vacuum and AAPL does not trade in a vacuum. Ignore that elephant in the room at your own risk
Sponge may not have a manufacturing background but I do - in production and inventory control, and because I understand the issues involved, there is no one on Earth I’d rather have manufacturing decisions than Tim Cook.
Oh and one more thing, I sincerely doubt the friendship between the gay, liberal CEO and Trump exists.
There are a myriad of topics involving Trump that absolutely belong in the dungeon and not here; his comments on Apple and AAPL are not among them.

Trump's comments on trade and Apple and manufacturing are indeed relevant here, but should be brought up in a non-judgemental way.

I have no issue with political discussion relevant to AAPL. Too bad it never ends as a "discussion".

Hey mods. That last post was supposed to be in the dungeon. Can you move it please? We don't do that. This Board is self moderated. It's up to each of us to ensure our posts are acceptable, and to edit, move or delete as appropriate. Except in extreme cases, the moderators do not edit, delete, or move posts. Our primary goal is to ensure the Board continues... To move a post to the dungeon, simply copy it and repost it there, then delete the original.
