Apple Price Target Raised to Street-High of $150 at JMP Securities Bat Gauna bullish on AAPL? If I wasn't cynical about the stock market, I'd cheer this upgrade. This upgrade strikes me as weird.

Guano's actually been an Apple bull for a while now. He was all over CNBC yesterday talking up Apple (at least all over the app version's AAPL news section). I guess Guano finally got embarrassed by Apple's domination after predicting their demise (how much does he get paid for this prescient advice?). Just remember we were allies with Stalin once. I don't care if Edi Amin is an Apple analyst, so long as he's bullish. BTW, Guana's report predicts iPad growth. Supposedly, JMP called Best Buys all over the country about IPad Air 2's, & 90% were sold out. And iPhone ship times have moved from 4-6 weeks to 5-7?

Ah, that's the tie in. Software is eating the world while Idi Amin eats his own...
We still have approx. 40% of the "pro" Apple analysts whose price targets are still under water. More upgrades should be on the way.

More upgrades should be on the way. Maybe more of an Apple self-cannibalism metaphor, but yeah. It's also a trick to expose you as old Mercel, because if you know who Edi Amin is, you probably have to be at least 50. Let's go AAPL rally!

The Last King of Scotland is a great movie about Idi Amin Dada. If memory serves, it was Not Rated. Try harder...

I wanted to point out that my bullshit detector was wailing on this Report By A Guy I've Never Heard Of (RBAGINHO™) that Apple is going to ship an iPhone 6S six months after the release of the 6. But then I realized everyone here was (hopefully) too smart to even need such a takedown. AmIRight? The fact that nobody other than the tarded Daily Mail picked the story up suggests it can just be ignored, rather than explained away, right? The correct answer is "yes, it's obvious bullshit that doesn't even warrant an explanation as to why."
BTW, since there was talk about the importance of focus on the board yesterday, some great quotes by a guy who should run a Twitter account called Not Steve Jobs. "A few big successes compensate for dozens and dozens of things that didn’t work." "I’ve made billions of dollars of failures at amazon.com." Looking at AMZN's quote today, it seems WS doesn't share my amusement with the aforementioned quotes, or the fact that he's decided to double-down on Fire stupid. I'd say any company whose stock drops when the CEO articulates his vision is not one I'd like to invest in.

A hedge fund celebrity recently said WS has given up on Amazon. Really? AMZN still trades at $300 without a P/E ratio, so I wonder what "giving up" on a stock means exactly.
Yeah, Samsung no doubt fed a desperate story to the media on an early iPhone 6s launch. Put the name "Apple" in any story and the click quota will be met for the day. The Daily Mall picked it up? Sounds about right.

Just in case that Rolling Stone story about JPM getting away with MBS murder (and the Justice Department giving them a slap on the wrist) wasn't shocking enough, check out this story: JPMorgan Rushed to Hire Trader Who Suggested on His Resume That He Knew How to Game Electric MarketsAnother slap on the wrist for a huge Obama donor (trust me, I know cronyism works both ways regardless of party, but at least Republicans aren't as sanctimonious about Wall Street). And you wonder why I don't trust the regulators? And why I think markets can be rigged? BTW, I closed my Chase checking account, and it was quite satisfying.

Careful with that one...it wasn't long ago that AAPL tanked every time Tim Cook opened his mouth. Bezos is a fool, but using the market's reaction to what he says as any sort of indicator is silly, in my opinion. I trust your opinion of him wouldn't change one bit if AMZN had gone up 3%, nor would mine.

Bezos is a fool, but using the market's reaction to what he says as any sort of indicator is silly, in my opinion. I trust your opinion of him wouldn't change one bit if AMZN had gone up 3%, nor would mine. I suspected that false equivalence might come up. Obviously, on a conference call reporting on a bad or mediocre quarter, a CEO has to deal with reality, and Tim has had some grim ones, and AAPL has paid the price. But Tim was right, just focus on what we're doing, and the stock will come around (based on Apple's fantabulously awesome fundamentals). And it did. Majorly. But if Tim got up and said something out of the blue, like Bozos did today, "WTH, we've thrown spaghetti at the wall, lost billions of other people's money doing it, and we are doubling down on spaghetti throwing," not only would I expect AAPL to take a hit, I'd personally call for Tim's head. There's a huge difference between a rough conference call and a total lack of vision. Bezos may be the greatest grifter of all time. I remember when he first talked that "profits aren't everything" bullshit in the late 90's, and I raised my eyebrows and thought, "uh huh, we'll see." Well it's 15 years later, and he's still claiming Amazon is a startup. If that doesn't make them run to the exits, I don't know what will. That is an admission that profits aren't even on the map, let alone in sight. WS might not have given up on Amazon, but AMZN is off 25% this year, and I wouldn't want to be long if when they keep announcing profitless quarters in 2015. Oh, and cheers to the AAPL longs. We need a 117 close by Friday people, just to throw out a random number.
