Nice to see AAPL up a few points, taking aim at 170. It's a start.
20" of fresh snow, and a blizzard warning keeping people away and the schools closed. Time to go play...

Motley Fool's "The Tragedy of Apple" is a perfect example of modern financial reporting. The same worn out memes strung together in a vacuous diatribe whose sole purpose seems to be to collect clicks. An article like this has to stand on one of two things. Either it presents new data or it expresses the opinion of someone so trusted and credible that we accept their authority. There is nothing remotely new about any part of this article. As to the author's credibility, he is a member of CAPS, the Motley Fool's crowd based program that allows users to compete in choosing and timing stocks. He is currently number 64948 of 69584. Nice headline though.

He is currently number 64948 of 69584. And there you have it. I gave up on reading almost all AAPL articles and "analysis" except for a few trusted and respected sources. The rest is just noise/FUD IMO.

The SPY has about 1.25% more to go before it touches the 200MA. The past two times it went above and only stayed there for 2 days.
The gap that aapl needs to fill is between 174-176. It should get there by Thursday.
Will be loading up on more puts on Friday or. Monday of next week.
I am counting on Trump to hold firm on tariff in March. If he does not and folds like he did with Nancy then we may stay range bound another 2 months.

I like the idea of video subscriptions. Too bad Apple did not start it 7 years ago. I am not confident it will generate the revenue and profit she is expecting in that time frame. Netflix and Amazon are well established and Apple would have to offer an amazing deal for folks to cut those cords.

Remember it's important to pay attention to FUD, even if you're not trading it can provide an idea as to where the 'players' would like to see AAPL go.

Remember it's important to pay attention to FUD, even if you're not trading it can provide an idea as to where the 'players' would like to see AAPL go. Disagree entirely. FUD is primarily created by hacks who can’t do anything of real value. So they resort to writing complete crap for page hits. Have a look at the qualifications of the clown show that passes for journalism. This is one of the downsides of the web. You get paid for writing total garbage, as long as it generates page hits. So the world is swamped with charlatons and incompetent liars. And a whole bunch of them flock to Apple, since they are the biggest story in business. Real players with real money think for themselves, and are not led by a pack of hacks. EDIT - and one more thing. If I had listened to the so called players, every time they unanimously called Apple doomed and washed up, I would have sold everything ages ago. And missed a life changing investment.

Well we’ll well, look what Bernie Sanders and Chuckie Schumer are up to. They want to tell Apple what it can do with our money. www.nytimes.com/2019/02/03/opinion/chuck-schumer-bernie-sanders.html“So focused on shareholder value, companies, rather than investing in ways to make their businesses more resilient or their workers more productive, have been dedicating ever larger shares of their profits to dividends and corporate share repurchases. When a company purchases its own stock back, it reduces the number of publicly traded shares, boosting the value of the stock to the benefit of shareholders and corporate leadership.” Oh noes, corporations looking out for its shareholders! Can’t have that when we can redistribute that wealth to healthcare for illegal aliens and other Democrat votes! Can’t wait to see the libs here spin this one. Bernie could easily be the nominee in 2020 BTW. Other people’s money!

With respect to FUD, I am not suggesting there is any accuracy to it at all. However, there are patterns of it and it does impact the market. There are those who like to start stampedes. I have used its existence, particularly when it is rather shrill, to my advantage many times. FUD is one of many signs that it might be time to get out of the way. Not suggesting that this particular bit of FUD is. As reference, consider Cramer on manipulating markets.

I like JD's post ! !
I did not consider it political at all. He only mentioned the authors.
It shows the creeping socialism.
Thanks for bringing it to attention !
If the bill ever gets passed, the economy will take a real hit.

What, and Trump hasn’t done the same with regards to what Apple should do with our money? ...Can’t wait to see the libs conservatives spin this one.... Your first three lines were relevant. The last three lines were just political BS.

JD: you are NOT being helpful when YOU like a post where I admonish YOU for YOUR obvious political behavior. YOU are one of THOSE instigators! ADMIT IT? I AM DEEPLY HURT!I will go to the corner and curl up in my comfortable fetal position until THIS problem is resolved......

If he wants to start with the political bullshit and the ad hominem attacks again, calling people "libtards" that don't agree with him, then he should take his marbles and go home.
