Nice to see AAPL pushing up a bit. Brushing near $126 should make it easier to exceed that level in the future. Here's a Marketplace article suggesting a DAF, or a Charitable Lead Trust. Never heard of that second one, but it sounds like it's well above my pay grade. www.marketwatch.com/story/you-can-cut-your-tax-bills-with-smart-charitable-giving-strategies-2020-12-07?siteid=yhoof2FWIW, the DAF was easy to set up at Schwab, maybe taking 30 minutes. Funding will take a bit longer since I'm moving over shares from a separate place, but it should take 1-1.5 weeks. With AAPL moving around by the day, yet still worried about the exact transfer price, I decided the best thing to do for lower risk is just like a buy or sell, to split it up over multiple days. I'll do another small transfer or two over the coming weeks, and just not worry about it. Love those bull cases. Throw a crazy number out there, look amazing if it actually hits it (all while taking in plenty of interviews), but really push a more moderate number as the one used to track your performance against your peers. It does give a bit more color than just one set price, but it also seems a bit more for show unless somehow including an expected chance or probability. BTW, for me that Marketplace article showed an Apple card ad. "So private, it doesn't even have a number"

First attempt at breaking 125 failed miserably. Hopefully we find a bounce here and can try again soon.

Big antitrust suit announced to break up Facebook. Focused on the acquisitions of Instagram and whatsapp...
FB down 1.42% on the news AAPL down 2.10%
Ahh, the rational market...

"On Wednesday, DigiTimes reported that Apple is working with TSMC, or the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, on self-driving chip technology. It goes on to claim that both companies have established plans for a factory to produce "Apple Car" chips in the U.S., and are currently negotiating with upstream and downstream supplies in the automotive electronics supply chain.
The Taiwan-based media outlet also added that the "Apple Car model is similar to Tesla," but failed to expand on what that means."
Amazes me that the same people (or their kind) who fought tooth and nail to keep seat belts out of cars are falling all over themselves to invent a self driving car that no one wants and is inherently dangerous. Apple would due better to buy things that matter like TV shows, movies and music or maybe a portfolio from Bob Dylan for not even a fraction of what the self driving car idea has cost to date.

Where do you get the idea that anti-seatbelters and people who believe in autonomous vehicles are the same? I will bet you that autonomous vehicles will end up killing or injuring way less people than human drivers. Completely disagree with "nobody wants" comment. Just because you or I don't want it, doesn't mean there is no market.

I like the idea. But really, it's not that different than pulling it up on your iPhone, or Apple watch. Even if you kinda mostly keep eye contact, your mind is drifting, and you're not really part of the conversation anymore as you are reading or thinking about something else. This has happened to me a lot lately. I try to have a discussion, and whether the other person is in the middle of something, or she hears the "bing" and glances, she's gone. In some cases I might not mind, but others I'm trying to make some bigger decisions. And with so many things going on lately, on so many fronts, there's a lot of distractions. People talk about missing finishing a conversation, or even a sentence, once they have small kids interrupting. But it doesn't stop there. Longer term maybe it skips the whole visual aspect and goes straight neural, and Musk has a group looking at that sort of thing. But think Matrix, it still takes a little bit to learn, as opposed to accessing data directly. I like the idea of AR, and can think of a lot of cases for it. But during a conversation might not be the best time, just as driving while talking on the cell isn't so good even if going hands free. It's the act, not the exact method.

If its utility were obvious, it wouldn't be innovative.
