Ah the vagaries of pre-market. AAPL went from modestly GREEN and over $210 to very RED at $208.30 -1.45 (-0.69%). Not aware of anything to cause the swing, perhaps someone is worried about Turkey... Motley Fool has Here's How Apple Wins by Losing.

Nothing like a new ATH to start the day. 😁

Always nice to be anticipating an Artman post within a half hour of opening...
😉
Just a reminder RSI remains over 70...

We're planning an October get together if you would like to join our celebration of $1T in New Hampshire's beautiful White Mountains.
Please PM me with any date constraints. We'll pick dates to maximize the number who can attend based on everyone's schedule. At the moment the second weekend in October, the 13 and 14 appears best.
***
Fall is spectacular here. The foliage usually peaks the first or second week of October. It is also one of the peak tourist seasons as the 'leaf peepers' come out -- which makes restaurants and lodging tight.
The closest commercial airport is Portland, ME, about 1 1/2 hours. Boston is a bit over 2 1/2. The Freyburg, ME airport which handles small aircraft is 6 miles away.

Given that AAPL is trading Ex Div, today's price action is reassuring. I'm still concerned that AAPL has risen pretty far pretty fast. RSI is over 73. That is a very high indicator. When I traded options that would have translated into Sell, Sell, Sell...

I retired, thank you Apple, to a beautiful resort area in New Hampshire's White Mountains. I'm contemplating hosting a get together to celebrate $1T... and beyond.
Would you be interested? How much advanced notice is needed? When would be a good time for you? Please PM me.

Appreciate the kind words.
I too find the Board a great resource. It helps to hear what other people you've come to know and respect think -- even though you sometimes disagree. It helps us all make better decisions.
I've been pushing to continue the Board because I can't imagine being without it.
Thanks all.

Note on Board Sustainability
Yesterday we got the best lead on Lovemyipad that we've had. Hopefully it pans out and moving will become unnecessary.
It looks like there is a strong preference to stay on ProBoards. If we can't locate Lovemyipad, we will restart the Board here.
No changes will occur before Labor Day and any changes will be announced in advance.
The old Board will not be taken down and should remain up indefinitely -- at least until ProBoards decides otherwise.
Directions to the new board will be posted in both the Daily Thread and Weekend Thread.
The old board will be checked periodically to redirect stragglers.
Looking for volunteers to 1. Setup the new board, 2. Administer it, and 3. herd the cats. 🙀🙀
Please PM me if you can help.

A note on the Alex Jones discussion in yesterday's thread. I hesitate to post politically oriented articles -- don't want to incite political fires here. Posted that particular article because Apple is at the forefront of the debate. Indeed, it is fascinating that even the extent of Apple's actions were debated. As Apple watchers, we're all familiar with fake, or at least suspect, news. Thought the Board discussion was cordial and productive. Thanks.

Now I am wondering why the number of posts didn't increase. There must be some kind of quality check AI that only counts the good posts ProBoards always displays your latest 'posts' count.

Probably only we codgers got this one; thanks for the chuckle. The scary thing is how many old codgers are laughing...

CNN/Tech has Tim Cook sends Mark Zuckerberg scrambling. Freedom of speech means the freedom of others to say what I do not want to hear. These moves to ban 'offensive' speech are troubling -- even though I loathe Alex Jones. Indeed, the wide dissemination of foolish thought is often the best way to expose it. Sunlight is a great disinfectant. I'm uncomfortable with any large entity, whether government, church, corporation or anything else, determining what we can hear, see, or say.

Update on Board SustainabilityAs you all know, we are trying to locate Lovemyipad, to get her to either resume administration or pass the baton to someone else. The Board appears to have been unadministered since January 2014. It appears we have operated quite successfully without an administrator. The wrinkle is about 60 people have joined the board since it was last administered and no one who has joined after 2014 has posted. It appears the administrator needs to give them permission. At the same time, participation is slowly declining. In the event we are unable to locate Lovemyipad, we have a couple of choices. 1. We can continue as is. Whomever is already a member can participate. Presumably no new members can join or participate, though it does appear they can lurk. 2. We can restart the Board with new Administrator(s). I've previously expressed the belief we should have a primary and backups; and that offline contact information should be exchanged, at least amongst them. 2A. If we restart the board, we should decide whether to do it here (ProBoards) or somewhere else. Cdnphoto suggested Slack. Not sure what else might be out there. I remain hopeful Lovemyipad will surface. Let's give it until after Labor Day. That said, please share your thoughts as to our options... 1 or 2 and if 2, Proboards or elsewhere -- and if you know of any good elsewhere's please mention them. Thanks all.

While I understand and generally agree with the sentiment, he’s not getting my shares any time soon! Can't think of a quicker way to infinity... 😉
