This market scares me. On the other hand, my next door neighbors after poo-pooing the iPhone no less than a month ago are eager to order two iPhone 5s.

Great to have a easy to use/navigate AFB (aka "lovey") site again. I have been a lurker for many years and have benefitted from your discussions, guidance, and and gentle warnings. Although I may not post with the frequency of many here, I hope future posts will be useful. Just had to post this Nasdaq premarket value for AAPL! Enjoy. Oops! Just read the guidelines for posting files. NASDAQ listed AAPL in premarket at $719.00, up $17.72 or 4% at 10:49:59 Denmark time! Too bad it was a mistake.

Re-posted from "X-Trapnel" over at Sanity Just how panicked is Samsung? Pre-announces Galaxy 4 for February Looks like a great field test for the Osborne effect. By December expect Samsung to *pay* people to buy the G3. Announced size of screen: 5 inches. www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2012/09/133_120024.htmlWow. I thought you were kidding. It doesn't get much more desperate than that. How can this not hurt Samsungs sales a ton more than apples?

Just caught up with all the weekend website drama. Didn't mind the new format, personally, as don't access via mobile and hardly post (though too much white space, certainly), but that Chaffin is a clown, and it would be better to abandon TMO altogether.

Hey - let's expect light volume Monday and Tuesday this week to have light volume given the Jewish holiday. We should not be surprised by it...just a heads up.

Yup. Pre-market feels like lighter volume this morning.

AT&T issued a press release that the iPhone 5 set a pre-sales record(Reuters) - U.S. mobile provider AT&T said it set a sales record with Apple's iPhone 5 over the weekend, making it the fastest-selling iPhone the company has ever offered. Customers ordered more iPhones from AT&T than any previous model both on its first day of preorders and over the weekend, the company said on Monday. AT&T did not provide the number of iPhones sold. The company said iPhone 5 was still available for preorder and would go on sale from September 21 in AT&T retail stores.

Forgive my ignorance but can someone quickly explain what "Karma" "Exalt" "Smite" all mean on the left side of page?

Robert was the curator of AFB all this time. And he knows TMO management but worked only as a volunteer. Bryan, Adam and Dave never visited AFB. Maybe that plays into it, I dunno. Darn that Bryan is such a idiot he even motivated me out of lurking to post a small commentary on why I think he screwed up! Thanks Lovely for this Lovely Place...

If we hit $800 in late Oct, the sponge will be getting a real tan in Hawaii come December, since $1000 will be waiting for us in January. Folks this iPhone 5 is huge and will carry us to new incredible highs in the next 8 months So when will we have our AFB2/AAPL 1000 Party on Hawaii?! ;D I could preview and post this from my iPhone without any problems! What wonder of software! </sarcasm off>

Can't have this site working on fangled iGadgets, think of all the bandwidth they will take up. hmmmm lets abuse some members so we can get the member numbers down too. it's getting crowded already

Did anyone else notice the following in that Samsung story? ``Samsung is asking Apple to pay more to use its mobile application processors produced at its plant in Austin, Texas. The release of the S4 means more market share for Samsung as it is the only firm that can guarantee on-time delivery, output commitment and better pricing for mobile application processors,’’ said one executive. This sure sounds like some kind of threat.

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Apple® today announced pre-orders of its iPhone® 5 topped two million in just 24 hours, more than double the previous record of one million held by iPhone 4S. Demand for iPhone 5 exceeds the initial supply and while the majority of pre-orders will be delivered to customers on September 21, many are scheduled to be delivered in October. iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning new 4-inch Retina™ display; an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance; and ultrafast wireless technology*—all while delivering even better battery life.**
“iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

I saw that. I guess if you're losing your patent claims badly, you look for what leverage you might think you have. If that is a true representation, I would expect the Supply Chain Master (TC) to have short to medium resolution already planned.

I am not selling the news - we have more countries to roll out to - then iPad mini in October - then Christmas - there is more to go on the upside IMHO My biggest fear is not Europe or US anymore - now it is the Middle East. Hoping that dies down a bit but I guess it's always going to be something....that's life.

O.k. One complaint about the new forum. We need more women...lots more women. The roster here reminds me of a Star Trek convention. Lovey, phoebes.....why don't the ladies love Apple? .

I believe on Thursday Judge Lucy Koh issues her stance on the Samsung verdict (injunction). Could that move the needle as well?

ATH in pre-market, but that is pre-market. Look for the initial pop to 700 and some resistance. Will such resistance be futile? .

O.k. One complaint about the new forum. We need more women...lots more women. The roster here reminds me of a Star Trek convention. Lovey, phoebes.....why don't the ladies love Apple? . It's a reflection of the ratio of women in finance in general. Unfortunately the numbers aren't there yet. When I was in the business world all my friends were men - and the one woman friend I had is now starting her own company and wouldn't focus on this so I can't even reach out. But don't be fooled - the ladies ADORE Appl and buy all their products -- and isnt' that what we really care about? Hey what happened to Rosie and AppleDoc? Are they females? Do they know about this alternate forum? Does anyone know?
