🍏 Currently up $5 and change at the open.
Apple has reportedly been experiencing "much higher" than expected demand for its $249 AirPods Pro, and the company is said to have ask its supplier Luxshare Precision to double production of the high-end earphones to two million units per month.
Together with the Apple Watch , the AirPods and AirPods Pro have been a driving force behind growth in Apple's wearables category, which recently set new fourth quarter revenue records worldwide

Both sons received Pros for Xmas, and if AAPL hadn’t gone wild in 2019, we likely would have settled for just Airpods. At this point, any Apple purchase feels like an indirect contribution to our investment account. Quick addendum: older son is a recording engineer, and he raves about the sound.

As my name suggest, I'm a professional composer and audio producer - I have to say the AirPods pro are one of Apples' best products in years - in terms of sound quality and noise cancellation, these are simply amazing - and my new go-to for long plane flights. If I'm walking in a city I much prefer the original AirPods for an easy way to hear what is around me vs. the mic'ed in version the AirPods pros give you - but I'm not surprised they are still demand constrained on these -

I just joined a cult. Wish me luck. Again! I thought you just made your millions in a few days on TSLA, and you'd be out for good. The problem is that quick gain and success is addictive. Case in point, the "Big Short" guy, who more recently shorted TSLA (EDIT: he got out recently, early, assumedly with a big loss). Like many trying to capitalize on the housing bust, the right idea doesn't help if the timing is off. There were lots of people, including me, who were bearish on housing back in 2002 or so, but it kept on ticking up. Good luck JD (I took a look at puts on TSLA yesterday. The ones I glanced at, 2 months out or so, were pretty highly priced. I forget the exacts, but like $100 for a put at $800 while the stock was at $850. I was really looking for a 10-to-1 payoff, worth throwing a little fun money at. Switching over to bearish spreads at that timeframe, the 100 point spread was still $50, so only a 100% potential. There might have been tempting things at at different expirations, but I wasn't that convinced that that was the tippy top, and so wasn't looking that hard)

Of course, that is one result of such volatility.

Of course, that is one result of such volatility. And if you had a working crystal ball, there'd always be ways to make considerable money from the deal. But that's the thing of seemingly irrational behavior of a stock. It's hard to know when the party will end, or when it will keep on going. Hence the "Big Short" guy cutting his losses, a little too early. It's that whole "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" thing, but much more so with an individual stock. There's more than a few stocks out there that seem irrationally priced for what they are. Ahhh well, it's fun to watch just the same. Congrats to those who manage to make a little off of it, whether the upside or the decline.

Woz says Jobs went a little nuts about moneyFrom the comments section: I think that there were two Steve Jobs. The Steve that started Apple and the Steve that saved Apple. The time between those two events was Steve’s Desert Time. The time of reflection and evaluation and understanding. What just happened? How did I get here? What part did I play? What could I have done different? Where am I going? Steve learned, Steve changed. We benefit.
