Good morning...looks like Uruguay did Hannibal Lecter proud ~ except he didn't follow up with liver with some fava beans and a glass of chianti! While you were sleeping:Asia: red Europe: red US futures: flat AAPL in PM: $90.28 unchg. on 36.6k shs. Snapshot news on AAPL: - Credit Suisse raises PT from $85.71 to $96.00 - MacRumors: Wow...now we are getting rumors of an exact date!: iPhone 6 Said to Launch on Friday, September 19 in 32 GB and 64 GB Variants:www.macrumors.com/2014/06/25/iphone-6-friday-september19-32gb-64gb/- USA Today: Report: Google to unveil TV set-top box: www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/06/25/google-tv-settop-box/11343835/- Reuters : EU regulators to decide on Apple, Beats deal by July 30 : www.reuters.com/article/2014/06/25/apple-beats-eu-idUSL6N0P628K20140625?type=companyNews&feedType=RSS&feedName=companyNews- appleinsider: Apple TV gains 4 new channels, including ABC News with live video: appleinsider.com/articles/14/06/24/apple-tv-gains-4-new-channels-including-abc-news-with-live-videoLots of technicians looking for an overall market pullback. Interestingly, many are suggesting that everyone else is too bullish. Other than business television shows who have money managers in and who have a LONG TERM investment horizon, I don't find anyone who is major bullish or who doesn't think we are toppy here. Calls I have made to people who cover institutional accounts on WS have said that their clients are fairly quiet (explains low volume) and are concerned about a pullback so they are just waiting and watching. I have no idea where these technicians are getting their sentiment numbers from and I would argue that the time horizons spoken about do not correlate. But you know how it is - you get selective hearing in situations like this (both they do and I do, I guess) . Anyway, the point is - if there is a market correction - how well does AAPL hold? There tends to be an inverse relationship but not certain...my 8 Ball is broken this morning. Mother Market tends to do what you don't anticipate it doing. If we are all talking about a correction, it may not come. It's the gap downs and the unexpected (perhaps geo-political) that catch everyone asleep at the switch. Be careful out there and enjoy the day! (By the way - as of mid-week Max Pain = 90.71. Maturity = 06/27/2014. Previous close = 90.28.)

how sad......The Sales Results Despite heavy marketing and a compelling list of features, the overpriced and restrictive Fire Phone's sales slipped to 24 in Amazon's electronics category after just a few days. This is from its highest rank of 4th, and was 16th on June 23rd. Normally, an iPhone or Galaxy phone would face supply shortage and remain high in the ranking for a few weeks and slowly slip. The Fire Phone is losing to low volume products by their competitors like the iPad mini, Apple TV, and various routers and Kindle tablets. This is a clear sign that people are not entertained with what is being offered. seekingalpha.com/article/2284543-amazon-fire-phone-is-a-flop

AEREO sent packing by the SUPREMES www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-461_l537.pdfSUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES _________________ No. 13–461 _________________ AMERICAN BROADCASTING COMPANIES, INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS v. AEREO, INC., FKA BAMBOOM LABS, INC. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT [June 25, 2014] JUSTICE BREYER delivered the opinion of the Court. The Copyright Act of 1976 gives a copyright owner the “exclusive righ[t]” to “perform the copyrighted work pub- licly.” 17 U. S. C. §106(4). The Act’s Transmit Clause defines that exclusive right as including the right to “transmit or otherwise communicate a performance . . . of the [copyrighted] work . . . to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance . . . receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.” §101. We must decide whether respondent Aereo, Inc., infringes this exclusive right by selling its subscribers a technologi- cally complex service that allows them to watch television programs over the Internet at about the same time as the programs are broadcast over the air. We conclude that it does.

It didn’t matter so much that Korea was the base for Samsung and Taiwan for Hon Hai, owner of Foxconn International 2038.HK -4.80%, the company that assembles the iPhone. While Samsung makes its own smartphone, the Galaxy, it also supplied up to 25% of the iPhone’s parts by value. As a result, between the time Apple launched its first iPhone in mid-2007 and Samsung unveiled its first Galaxy two years later, the 12-month correlation between Taiwan’s industrial production growth and South Korea’s climbed from 0.36 to a record high of 0.98 (with zero signifying no correlation and 1.00 representing a perfect correlation), according to data from Thomson Reuters. The correlation then drifted lower but still has averaged 0.84 since, compared to an average correlation of 0.62 before the Galaxy debuted. In other words, smartphones had become the engine of industrial output in both countries.But Apple’s rivalry with Samsung may now be straining that linkage. Apple has long accused Samsung, its contractor, of copying its designs for use by Samsung the smartphone maker, giving rise to a long-running legal battle. As a result, Apple has been trying to wean itself from Samsung. It buys its flash-memory chips from Toshiba, according to IHS. Apple won’t say where it buys its touch-screens – the most expensive part of the iPhone, at $41 each – but analysts believe they come from Japan Display, LG Display, Sharp and possibly Toshiba. But Apple still had to rely on Samsung to provide the iPhone’s microprocessor, the brains of the device. Last year, Apple signed a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.2330.TW +0.41%, or TSMC, to start providing it with microprocessors for iPhones and iPads this year. The iPhone will likely be powered by TSMC’s A8 chip when it’s launched later this year. TSMC has said supplying the chip should help it to record net profits this year. In May, Taiwan’s industrial production was led by a 10.3% rise in electronic parts and components. blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/06/25/apples-new-phone-drives-a-wedge-between-korea-and-taiwan/

Yay, I support the First Amendment and the right to protest! Unless it's at Apple HQ, in which case, break out the dogs and fire hoses! And yeah, one doesn't have to be an IP lawyer to have known how Aereo was going to turn out. I just shake my head at how they ever thought they were going to get away with their biz model.

I was actually going to email Mr. Cook about destruction of encryption keys immediately after they were used, saved me an email. The only other suggestion I pondered was each key be a randomized number for the sending and receiving device, then destruction.

So new trading strategy. Buying jan 2016 100-110 BCS. I'm going to open and close out of the short leg based on Fib and EW levels.

Google is ripping off some Apple design over at its liveblog. Nothing significant announced 30 minutes in.

Companies like Samsung and Google appear to be rushing wearables to market before Apple makes their highly anticipated release. It will be interesting to see whether they have guessed accurately what the Apple use case for the device is.

Don't you think the bid/ask for Jan 2016 is too far apart, making it difficult to make money? A turn around would cost you 70 cents out of a $2.50, about 28%.

The bid/ask does seem to be wide at times, but oftern my bid fills above the bid price shown or below the ask price shown.

Well, I watched half of the Google I/O "L for Lollapalooza" and it was a mess. I'm not alone in that opinion. Google lays an egg and the stock goes up. That sounds about right - the stock market is such a friggin' joke I can't wait to leave it for good. daringfireball.net/linked/2014/06/25/wehner-io-keynote

Half-baked, too long and pell mell. There were a few cool things, but all in all, Apple would have gotten body slammed by the media if they put on a hot mess like this.

No surprise. Apple has to bat 2.000
Everyone else gets to grow stuff at the wall until something is deemed APPLE KILLER (or maybe just an existential threat to iPhone/iPad)

When is the last day of the quarter for Apple?
My teenagers managed to leave an iPad 2 out in the rain, so I'll be adding another iPad to some quarter's total tonite…
