CNBC might be bottom-ticking the market with their incessant freaking out over the cliff since 4pm. next they'll decide to air their "market in crisis" evening coverage...

Does any data exist regarding the socio-economic diferences between iOS and Android users? I ask this in relation to the ongoing discussion of who owns Android vs Apple devices, and the anecdotal reports that the more economically advantaged neighborhoods trend more toward iPhones. That an economic difference exists might explain usage differences. For example, most e-commerce is conducted on iOS, which makes total sense if the folks with money are using iPhones, and the folks without as much disposable income are using Android. I'd also be interested in seeing education levels by device type. Why are iPhone and iPad users more active in using their devices? Part of the explanation might be the usability of the devices themselves, but I wouldn't discount the demographics of the users. There was a massive survey conducted a while back. The difference between iOS and Android users in education and income was quite stark, to say the least: In short, demographics seem to be hugely important, and it's why Apple will continue to dominate the market in profit share. I have also noticed the phenomenon when travelling to more and less affluent areas.

So when there is a deal this weekend, there are going to be a lot of people caught short or chasing the train the other way. And that would be an amazing rocket ship

It APPEARS AMZN had a great holiday: Yes, I ordered lots of things (~10) from Amazon for Christmas. And for all of which I used the free 30-day trial of Prime, and used free 2-day shipping. All of which I had shipped separately. And I have no intention of actually signing up for Prime when my trial expires. So I wonder if Amazon made a cent on me, or all the other thousands of people who used the Prime trial and have no intention of keeping it.

Well, the Dow futures are down 228, and AAPL's AH low is 507.10. How's that for relative strength? I think the 228 counts today's 100+ loss in it, not since today at 4pm, but I could be mistaken. CNBC reported it the same way (200 MORE lost points). either way, still some outperformance by AAPL. all the twitter bears calling for 470 so glibly haven't been watching AAPL outperform these past couple days. The DJI closed at about 12938, so at 12777 now is down about 161 in after hours. Market is not reacting well.
