#AAPL

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

People getting excited because #AAPL jumped to $212 based on the news they're going to invest more domestically apparently were sleeping off the 'nog the day after Christmas when it hit $259.

#Wallstreet: y’all went from greed to fear in a hurry late this week. Actual operating results for #aapl - ignored.
#ai is whatever y’all think it is except profitable. Every trade is a #Memestock.

When over 70% of the trading volume is algorithm driven high frequency trading, everything is exaggerated. Exaggerating “news” from a compulsive liar in the White House and a staff operating on god knows leads quickly to

#contagion.

A new Apple diagram is posted, showing their results for the most recent quarter (ended June 28).

In the discussion on the earnings call, Apple specifically noted that their product costs increased $800 million because of new tariffs. I've highlighted that share of product costs in red.

Visit sankeymatic.com/data/apple/ to see a more interactive version of the diagram and to make your own variation.

As I watch the bottom fall out of #AAPL, my brain's simultaneously processing where it is, vs that time when I didn't see what was coming and kept trying to game the stock (ended up worse for that move) and that time in the early 90's when I had a feeling I knew what was coming and dipped a toe in. If only it had been two toes.

Not freaking b/c Trump made me sell about half of it before the fall.

It’s been SEVEN MONTHS, but Tim’s crew is yet to fix the bugs.

Academic researchers discovered a vuln chain in Apple’s #FindMy’ network. Dubbed #nRootTag, it allows hackers to track any Bluetooth device without the owner’s knowledge.

Breaking news: #Apple has finally begun to partially patch the flaws, but only in *some* OS versions. Researchers warn a full fix “will take years,” in part because you can’t update the #AirTag​s themselves. In #SBBlogwatch, we disable dental protocols. @TheFuturumGroup @TechstrongGroup @SecurityBlvd: securityboulevard.com/2025/02/ #AAPL

God, I hope the car project was just a feint or a research-only exploration.

Apple making a car goes against the company values, the future, the environment, the social good, really everything.

As well as exposing #Apple to huge legal and PR liability.

Giant disaster in the making. I’m not sure anything would persuade me to get out of #aapl stock faster…

Now, a #bike, on the other hand…
