Well with Apple, app developers only have 3 possible outcomes for their business. Acqui-hired, sherlocked or kicked. I was the latter when they banned Wi-Fi scanners 😉
Other original devs I've talked to have given up and left the app store completely but personally I'd be interested in trying again and experiencing the first and second possible outcomes just for the hell of it.

This is an odd perspective. You talking about specific kinds of apps? There are hundreds of thousands of developers who will have different outcomes. If you build an app which isn’t much more than a feature, then you can be at risk. But as a counter, what about game developers? Apple doesn’t do games. There are many other examples.

This was an interesting article on the variety of short squeezes going on. finance.yahoo.com/news/lumber-is-showing-us-the-future-morning-brief-100513368.htmlSometimes seeing the actions in a market that you aren't in, like the Bitcoin spike a few years ago, makes it easier to understand what's going on when you are in it (frothy tops for the whole market). Good to hear that lumber has come down. We were hearing crazy stories from contractors and builders, such as a formerly $14 sheet of 7/16" OSB going for $70!!! But, like toilet paper supply and demand, things eventually balance. It's amazing Apple has really seemed to not have supply issues, or at least anything more than the standard that we are used to around product introductions. (EDIT: Here's one on the shipping industry, having a similar mostly demand based spike, with added disruptions of slack a year ago and the Suez incident. finance.yahoo.com/news/the-shipping-industry-just-couldnt-tackle-covid-19-disruptions-other-shocks-expert-160850293.html It will balance, eventually, but rising prices and delay gets people to book earlier and increase the problem in the shorter term.)

One more of the same vein in a way, but saying the stock market is likely closer to the end of the run. I agree, while realizing it's tough to get out when all things are pounding forward. History from both 1929 and the tulip mania talk of those that got out due to caution, only to leap back in before the eventual fall. Timing is tough and never perfect, but while this might not be the time to sell it all, it also might be the time to deleverage or de-risk a little. Or at least to reevaluate, and reaffirm that you'd have no problem holding onto positions, if they were down for a while. With Apple that seems easy enough, but nothing is ever 100% given. www.marketwatch.com/story/its-time-to-be-smart-like-soros-in-the-blow-off-stage-of-the-bull-market-in-stocks-11623788897?siteid=yhoof2I think Cody is a little ahead here, still seeing plenty of money from multiple government sources for a while here as the economy and jobs get back up to 100%. While we may not see (or even expect) returns like the last 14 months, the combination of more reasonable returns plus higher interest rates and less government spending will at some point likely catch up with the stock market. But 1 year out seems too quick, though 5 years out (unless seeing a 10+% backtrace beforehand or big earnings increases to justify valuation increases) seems possibly too long. Like all things, we'll have to see, while potentially staying cautiously optimistic in the short to medium term.
