The bar is open. I've bought all of you a round of Romulan Ale. But nobody was here so I drank it all myself.
Cheers to the Longs and even to the shorts...cause short covering is a beautiful thing....

So, by my calculations at $114.30 AH, we're the equivalent of $800.10.
Congratulation to all Longs!

A very good 3 weeks. Another 4 months of this and I might retire.

I'm not sure CNBC needs another stream-of-consciousness type to fill a very deep, dark void there. On the other hand, if Melissa Lee got the axe, I'll start a separate weekend thread to celebrate.

There's plenty of demand for BOTH iPhones.
As I use Apple Pay more I'll probably appreciate the iPhone 6 I've got a little extra. As it stands it's like a bigger, somewhat faster 5S with bigger screen (and generally nice design)

According to BI, Unexpected Layoffs At CNBC. Hope they're looking in the mirror... It might surprise all of you to know that I really am pretty compassionate about people losing money or their jobs. I consider it bad karma to wish such misfortune on others. Even people I hated in high school, when I hear they lost a lot of money, I empathize with them. But seriously, without any sarcasm, I hope everyone associated with CNBC - with the exception of Joe Kernan and John Fortt - get fired and have to move in with their parents. CNBC is a troll network, without a shred of honesty or integrity. They have hurt AAPL stockholders with their bullshit, with real money at stake, so I hope they all have to get jobs at a car wash and live off of spam. Their latest trollol, which I won't link to, is some Ed Zabitsky wannabe named Bert Dohmen. Who the hell is Bert Dohmen? Well, he's the one guy they could find who had the temerity to go on TV and trash AAPL right now. I think he meets his clients in a Motel 6. You'd think when even CNBC's on-air talents' parents don't watch them, they'd get the message that they have to change their ways. But no, same old shit, different day.

I've had some of that Romulan Ale, and now understand why those guys are always so grumpy. Happy to see 800.
I cashed out a small block of AAPL on Wednesday in trade for a "new" MacBook Air 11" i7 from Apple's refurb page. I'm a huge fan of huge screens, and a huge fan of the iPad mini, but the darn iOS limitations slow me down. I'm hoping that a tiny but fully functional Mac hits the sweet spot. I've had PowerBook 165c, PowerBook 2400c, Titanium 15" 400mhz G4, AlBook 15" 1.67ghz G4, BlackBook 13" 2.4ghz, MacBook Pro 13" 2.4ghz, MBA 13" 1.7ghz i7, and MBP 15" Retina. To date I have loved the 2400c the best. So I have high hopes. Any other 11" netbook users out there?

My thoughts on CNBC: I watched (notice past tense) for business/market news. What I got instead is: Bad comedy - why do CNBC anchors think they have to be comedians? I take investing seriously and the very last thing I want from a financial network is comedy and Politics Plenty of other places to go for that - take your pick

PED argues that it's not just the products that got the price here but also the divi. And the buy backs. This is true but he then suggests Jobs would never have done this part of it and I disagree. Even if Jobs was in charge today Apples' cash pile was growing so large that he would have been forced to do something with it. Generally I am never a fan of buybacks as it really is more a sign of financial manipulation by a ceo and board more interested in the stock price than the actual business . Apples situation was unique in that the shear size of the cash was so great that it had to be dealt with. I'm just glad they did it this way than by buying something with the money........ Like Europe ?

I wonder what the margin of error is with a sample size of 300?

My company is in the business of providing video based collaboration from remote field locations, such as oil and gas platforms, and manufacturing sites. The amount of interest and noise that Google Glass has generated is quite high. There is an attraction in being able to watch what a remote worker is doing and to provide assistance at the same time. The wearable form factor is generating interest because of hands-free operation. I think Google has brought awareness to this wearable idea, but it's future for the time being lies in Enterprise, not consumer. I too have believed from the start, that the idea of consumers wearing these things was never going to happen. With that said, the existing products have a LONG way to go before they are practical for field use. Some startups are banking their future on this idea, and have a dependency on Google to carry on with and improve this product. Google could give up on this product any day, and these guys could be screwed.

Totally the right move. A ton of that capital return was literally investing in itself at stupid low prices. Apple was greedy when others were fearful. Nice job buying your own dip.

The consumer side is two steps over the creepy line, which was obvious at the outset. Yet Google was intent on taking Glass mainstream, seemingly oblivious to the inherent privacy issues.

Google's financials show a certain obliviousness as well.
They look more like Amazon's than some might like to admit.

It's bothersome when I read an article that states that Steve Jobs would have never done this or would have never done that. Do people actually think that a person as dynamic as Steve Jobs would have never ever changed or adapted in life. He wasn't immovable...and as the world changed, technology advanced, and the cash on his balance sheet grew no one knows jack shit about what SJ would have done. Yet, some write these articles about it with such authority. My grandmother died at the age of 106. She was a very smart lady and immensely wise. She went from horse and buggy to man on the moon in her life time....a beautiful and learned person. I asked her once what was one of the lessons she learned in her life that she considered to be very valuable. She said that one must always have an open mind and that it was important to understand change and and to embrace it. We mustn't stick to yesterday if we didn't have today's information. It's all a part of moving forward and progressing in life. Her words come to mind with SJ. He can be called many things but one would NOT be a static individual. So in fact ~ no one knows what Steve would have done had he been here today.
