Nice to see AAPL's strength given the general tone of the market.

There are a lot of great ideas surfacing this morning for contacting Lovemyipad. Please follow your leads wherever it takes you and ask the Board for help if needed.
I'm hopeful we'll find here. Restarting the Board is a last resort as we lose all of our history and most likely a few members in the process.
Mav thought he had, but couldn't find her contact info.

Observations on AFB healthHere are some interesting facts gleaned from the Members tab and home page this morning: - Lovemyipad last logged in Jan 6, 2014
- Our 'peak' usage was on Jan 27, 2014 -- 310 users
- Many new members have registered since 2014
- No member registered after 2014 has posted a comment
- Interestingly some members register during 2014 have
- This affirms the suspicion that there are some administrative tasks being left undone
- We currently have 627 members
To sustain the Board, we really must find Lovemyipad. We need to transfer the reigns or reinstate her as Admin. Any leads you've got, please follow.

Phoebe I agree with much you said.
I find the Siri to competitor comparisons intriguing because the results are always so much better than I manage to achieve. I can't get Siri to understand much of anything. So I don't use her. At all. Would love to be able to verbally respond to texts when I'm driving...
I do know people who own the HomePod. It sounds wonderful and they love it. I don't -- because last I checked it only works with Apple Streaming. I would have multiple if I could play from iTunes on any of my Apple devices and originate phone calls. Supposedly thats coming...
The last new Apple device I bought was the iPhone X. I have purchased music and apps. I find myself waiting for the next generation all too often.
However, most products continue to improve with age and updates, albeit slowly. For instance, Apple Maps is much better.
I'm cautiously optimistic on A/R and still have hopes for Apple's car effort(s). Fortunately Apple does not appear to be imitating Google, throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
One could argue this is the 'law of large numbers' in action. The bigger the organization gets the more challenging it is to keep the parts moving in the same direction and to sustain an extraordinary growth rate -- which requires exponential growth.
That said, AAPL remains the best investment I can find. I am and will remain, all in.

The July 20 number, 4,829,926,000, is the most up to date. That puts $1T at $207.043 which CNBC rounded up to $207.05. Probably the best indicator of when the threshold has been crossed.
I agree this discussion is academic and the target is constantly moving, but it pays to be aware of where the line is drawn. The market will likely respond.

Looks like there were 4,842,917,000 fully diluted shares outstanding on June 30 which puts $1T at $206.49.
Within reach. 😁

I do love the Cramer video. He is dead on. I felt as he does for a looooong time. Which is why I am, happily, all in on AAPL.

I know, I know, but AAPL will have one hell of a gap...
Of course, gaps are just preprogrammed buying opportunities. BTFD.

Shouldn't that Bear Bozo have HIS ESTIMATES running below him on the chyron as Apple announces? LOL.

A new ATH would be nice, even if it is after hours...

I vaguely recall Lovemyipad mentioning that Robert over at Braeburn assisted her with getting this Board up and running. If someone has Robert's contact info he may be able to connect us as well.
At this point its worth following any lead we might have.
Thanks everyone for your help. Especially those of you who signed up at Match.com. Let us know how the date goes... 😜

Concern for the Board
As you are aware, Lovemyipad has been absent for a while. She is the sole administrator of this Board (AFB).
Several members are have contacted me with issues accessing the Board. I cannot help. Fixing the issue(s) requires Administrator action.
For security reasons, ProBoards requires the existing Administrator to grant Administrator privileges to any new administrator(s).
This leaves us in a pickle.
We must either locate Lovemyipad or restart the Board. We could, presumable, continue as is, but one wonders whether the gradual falloff in participation is a related to lack of administrator action.
If you have any ideas for contacting Lovemyipad, please try. That is clearly the best path forward as it allows us to retain our rich history of posts.
In the interim, if any of you are familiar with setting up a Board, the rest of us would all appreciate some education. It is my understanding that we cannot 'copy' the current board contents to a new board. I personally loath the idea of moving the Board. I do not want to lose the history or additional participants through such a transition.
Strongly recommend that we maintain at least 3 administrators in the future -- 1 primary and 2 backups. Also that administrators share, at least amongst themselves, offline contact information.
Please share your thoughts and suggestions.
***
This should not be construed as action against Lovemyipad. Her posts and involvement are greatly missed. Many of us would like to see her return. Life changes and AFB may no longer be a priority. This is a desire to sustain AFB in her absence.
