Winding down the festivities from celebrating the baptism of my firstborn, and I think I’m all caught up with the stuff going on in the last few months. Just to be clear though, the efforts to contact lovemyiPad have not paid off, correct? And the majority of those voicing their opinion is to stay on proboards but using a new forum, while keeping aaplfinance as a historical record? If there’s still any debate, I guess I’m voting for this option. Anyway, cheers to the longs, all time high, wheeeee!, and all that. I didn’t really think this boost to new heights would come about in a summer quarter. Congratulations and correct on all counts.

“The new iPhone lineup has presented Apple with a naming conundrum, according to a person familiar with the deliberations. The company will be selling three phones that look similar and all have Face ID. But the cheapest model will be larger than the mid-range version, potentially confusing consumers. While planning the new devices, Apple has altered the names multiple times. It has at least considered branding the new premium phones the "iPhone Xs," indicating that they’re an upgrade to last year’s iPhone X, the person said. The company has also weighed eschewing the "Plus" label for the larger model, which it has used since the iPhone 6 Plus launched with a larger screen in 2014. The final names could be different, the person noted.” UGH!! I really hope that they don’t go with “Xs.” It has been bad enough hearing “iPhone Ex” for the past year. LOL. The problem's of success.

I would also quibble with the wording of the Bloomberg article. Saying [the iPhone X] still sold strongly and helped Apple gain share in a smartphone market that has almost stopped growing is a bit of an understatement. Chalk it up to 'fake news'.
However, before iPhone X was released there was much talk, even here, about a 'super cycle' that didn't quite materialize. Of course super cycle was not consistently defined.
IMHO, slow and steady wins the race.

As the consensus is to stay on ProBoards, it should be a relatively painless move. You will be able to access the site the way you do now, you will merely point to a different board. To my knowledge, the only mechanism on ProBoards to communicate with members is PM (Messages). This functionality is a little awkward for mass messages, so our primary means of notification will be through the placement of conspicuous notices and directions on the Daily and Week Ending threads. We will do so at least a week in advance. We don't want to leave any members behind. Still looking for volunteer(s) to assist other members with the transition. This would potentially include: - monitoring the existing Board for any stragglers
- comparing new and old member lists and following up with PM's to anyone who hasn't made the move
- herding cats
When you register on the new Board please use the screen name you used here so we can easily identify who has and has not made the transition. Also, Please ensure that you are not blocking PM's from ProBoards. That is our only means of communicating directly with you. Worse case scenario, anyone who finds themselves lost can PM me through the this Board. Hopefully, Lovemyipad returns... eliminating any necessity to move.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Board SustainabilityWe still haven't located Lovemyipad. Hopefully she will surface as that's the path of least resistance. If you have even the remotest of leads on her, please follow up. In the event we restart the board (here on ProBoards) we need volunteers to assist with - Setting up the new Board
- Administering the new Board
- Assisting board members with the transition
None of this should require a tremendous amount of effort. Please PM me. AFB's 1T to ∞ CelebrationA couple of us are getting together the week of October 8 in North Conway, New Hampshire. With any luck the foliage will be at its peak. Please join us. PM me for details and suggestions on travel.

By the way, if AAPL's PE was twice what it is, I don't think I would sleep so well at night. If AAPL had Amazon's PE I would probably have moved on...
At heart, I am a value investor.

Many 'professionals' preach the mantra of diversification. Will admit, I used to follow that advice. When I thought about it I realized the strategy really entailed selling winners and holding losers. Further, everyone I knew who had achieved any kind of wealth in the stock market had done it with one stock. I switched to the opposite strategy, and slowly culled out the losers. Finally came down to one holding, Apple. Do not regret it. And I sleep very well at night.
Fidelity, loves to remind me that my strategy is 'unconventional' to which I reply look at my results...

Quiet day on the Board.
A pull back is inevitable. The questions are how soon, how deep and how long.
As much as I like the thrill of a dramatic run up, especially considering AAPL is significantly undervalued relative to the rest of the market, slow and steady wins the race. I'm still blown away that AAPL is where it is.
Cheers to the longs.

Holy S**t.
I spent the day ferrying kids back to college. What a way to end the week.
Congrats to the longs.

Looks like we'll have plenty to celebrate...

Love the open, but mindful of gaps... and high RSI...
IMHO what will save AAPL (and us) will be the inevitable upgrades from the many analysts with targets below $210. 😉

Good morning everyone. Asia is RED this morning while Europe and the US are GREEN. AAPL is nicely GREEN, trading at $211.35 +1.11 (0.53%). A nice followup to yesterday. In the news: Yahoo Finance has Call of the Day: Apple. "Apple will reach a two trillion dollar market cap through its services business, an augmented reality headset, and an Apple Car." Reuters via Yahoo has Apple accused of pressuring game rivals in Japan . Have a great day. Let's make money. Attachments:
