re: AAPL Earnings

Based on after hours trading, Apple is only about 3% away from hitting the mark (keep in mind they’ll likely give away the difference in dividends in the next year) while amazon is more than 15% away. I’ll go with Apple. Easily.

the days of Apple putting up blockbuster numbers I think are largely behind them

DaBigFella or whatever his name is was saying the same thing at $120pps

I think with share buybacks their still slightly short of $1t.

Needs to hit 207.50 to break a trillion.

Bought in June of 2016. Broke 115% in unrealized gains this week. It is so tempting to sell on the triple digit% gain, but I dont see an end to the train in the near future.

My pps is $68. I was going to sell at $135, didn’t, and am quite thankful.

I’d like to take out some gains now, but wouldn’t even know where to put them, as it looks like the Apple train just won’t stop.

my pps is $88, pre split

217.58


yeah. that just happened.

It amazes me how much customer loyalty there is to tech companies. To me that’s the big change over the past decade. Technology should enable competition and more agnostic purchases by the consumer. However, we see people prefer re-occurring experiences. They don’t want to chase dollars. They prefer convenience and become set in their patterns. I guess that’s similar to previous local stores that people used to frequent. You knew the clerks and the layout. It made trips quick and personal. Techs taken global, faceless corporations and made them local.
