Good morning everyone. Christmas week. Expect things to be very slow, especially with Christmas on Thursday -- but low volume sometimes leads to price swings... At this early hour AAPL is GREEN, trading at 112.24 +0.46 (0.41%) at 6:19. Major indices are GREEN as well. Hope Red was right that the Santa Claus rally started on Friday. In the news: One of the things I love about Apple is that Apple employee's are consciously trying to change the world. That is a very different mindset than found most places. Angela Ahrendts. When your competitors are not playing the same game, it is difficult for them to win. No, I'm still not linking to BI though PED asks Is Henry Blodget, gasp, right about Apple and the BBC? The MacDailyNews piece he is referring to is here. Thanks JD for your posts on smart watches in the weekend thread. This morning we have AppleInsider reporting Consumers take 'wait-and-see' approach to Apple Watch ahead of expected Q2 debut. Being unreleased the AppleWatch remains an enigma. My observation is that a significant but unscientific number family and friends want one -- like my 70+ year old mother (she'd kill me if she ever read this) who does not use/understand technology. Of course these people are waiting. It's not out yet. (Put's soap box away...)Boy, got a lot out of a no news morning. The rest of the week will be the same. Have a great day. Lets make money.

China Mobile's customer data for November was published today. They now have 71.2 million 4G customers, a monthly increase of 16.8 million. The question is how many of the 71 million are using iPhones? The last analyst estimate I read was for c.20 million on the CM 4G network by the end of 2014.

Here's my updated table on CM

I like the late day action...let's see a gentle melt up all week. It would suit me fine. If we can get over 113.75 or so on a close it might open the door to some upwoooosh. (I made that word up but it works)

Every day is a gift when you are a centenarian. Age is just a number, Red.

Only a little under five more minutes to go until Apple gets to above 200 so I can retire

Let's see if I can fit in a buy order between here and 120.

Watch out, JD, Fabulous Wife and I have landed in LA to spend Xmas with Older Son and his wife. I have my eyes peeled for a lawyer who bears a remarkable resemblance to Steve Jobs, so I can give you a look at just how scary True Blue Massachusetts Democrats (TM) can be . Spent the morning at the recording studio where Older Son engineers. Seems that the recording industry remains just about 100% Mac/ProTools here in LA, despite all of the other technological changes that have washed over the music industry in the past few decades. Before we left this morning I managed to catch a bit of the daily news. One article was yet another warning that Apple Pay, even if successful, will not be enough to "move the needle." It drives me crazy that the very folks who bemoan the "hits driven" nature of Apple's business fail to acknowledge that Apple has moved aggressively in the past few years to add software and services that serve as "annuities" to complement the cyclical hardware products and smooth out the the inevitable dips between major product innovations. Happy to see what AAPL did while I was otherwise occupied today. I'll take another of these for every trading day left in 2014, please.

I can't think of anything scarier than a Kennedy, and I've been in a medical school dissection lab. Then again, there is Jerry Brown. You came at the right time, 75F and clear. It has been in the 60's all week (brrr, bitter winter cold!).
