Maybe Apple wants to have better iPhone mounts in these premium German brands. Instead of using cupholders or mounts that rattle and have other problems. Seriously, this is intriguing and I really like his pedigree, in spite of working on SUV's. Well, the way I see it, a VW is a VW. Just so long as the P/E expands, I don't care what Apple poops out. OK, this means war. I had a plan to do a road trip to California. I was going to look you up and let you drive that glorious naturally aspirated V10. I may be reconsidering that gesture.

Well I guess we think differently. Under no condition do I believe that throwing 100% of your 401k into a clear mania is anything but stupid. No matter how that $150K came to be. I'm strictly on that side when it comes to financial craziness. A very few of the crazy people *may* make a ridiculous amount of money very quickly...but the vast majority of the crazy people will *lose* a ridiculous amount of money just as quickly. Average Volume: 27,610,346...today's Volume: 76,342,426; Closed at $90.00/share, down $135.00 (-60%) But, OTOH, it's up $0.46 after hours. SMH

But, OTOH, it's up $0.46 after hours. SMH Cha-ching! Sometimes, when asked "What's a Phillips, is that the cross shaped one" you just have to try to keep a straight face. Some people are hopefully learning a lesson right now. But remember, there's a reason a couple hedge funds were mega-shorting GME. If you look long term, without a pivot GME just isn't looking too hot even with a new leader. I just don't really think too many "investors" were getting into GME with a long term perspective. When at MOT, it turned out a coworker in our small just out of college group was looking at getting into Day Trading. He had no background in this, and at the time we might have been paid more than software developers, at least according to the US News type salary surveys that didn't show the locational skew. I don't know what happened to him, but knowing what I know now I'm glad I wasn't convinced to loan him some starter money, even though I had temporarily done so well. We all learn our lessons different ways. I'm glad that while I took plenty of knocks from AAPL, on margin or with options, I don't believe I ever had the displeasure of a 60% loss in a day. On a different topic, good for Bezos. It sounds like he has plenty of side projects, while listing the "other interests" instead of anything personal. But I greatly respect Bezos and Gates for looking forward to "what's next" and deciding to push forward, while also donating a lot. While I might be several orders of magnitude below their levels, I've seen that it can take some effort to realize what you have, and decide to change from the glide path. I'm impressed when a billionaire, like one of the ones in out town, decides that he can try to do good with some or even most of his funds. Good for them! (EDIT: Guessing at SMH, it looked like it could be So Much Hype instead of Shaking My Head)
