Sometimes there are structured notes or other structured products that need to be done right at the close. Many of the banks issue them on AAPL due to the demand and because of the liquidity in the name. Chances are pretty great it may have been something like that. Just my 2 cents.

There arent enough consumers willing to spend $2000 on a 40" TV, 4k or not, Apple or not. I agree, and do not see (as I've stated many times) Apple in the hardware business of manufacturing TVs. Apple will revolutionize TV with the way AppleTV delivers content and changes the TV interface, both software issues tied to the iTunes Store. I agree with Greg.

Your 2 cents are worth 2 bucks in my book. I was looking at the 540,000 shares at 4:00 as deals done on the close. But maybe the 160,000 shares was the same type of transaction.

P, no idea. Just thought it was interesting. I noticed that last one first, then went back to see how many big trades today. Again, no clue re: significance. It's cool that you can track that. It's part of a service, right? Not a publicly available screen.

You assume 38% is sustainable. Keep watching that space. As we all know here, Apple has several more points of GM to give if it deems it necessary. Averages are comprised of many units divided by the number of units. Nowhere did I say that all units are equal. As it is, the average of GM % for the 2 year period preceding Apple'svfantastic GM run was 39.76%. That's nearly two full points above the 38% that Apple seems to be guiding today. Yes, I think that level is sustainable ON AVERAGE. edited to add:38% GMs are sustainable if Apple so chooses to sustain them. If the furtherance of strategy is enhanced by reducing margins it is Apple's decision to make, not others.
