Today was very much a 'risk off' day as the equity markets looked down and succumbed to vertigo. Apple was once again leading the way lower, as reality began to intrude on the 'Magnificent 7' fever dreams.
The Case for Shorting Apple
Innovate is what #Apple does best. They didn't invent the cell phone nor the MP3 player or anything else. They indentify promising products and then make them better. This is what they do and what they will continue to do. Apple isn't going anywhere! Bullish on $AAPL.
The Case for Shorting Apple
While I generally love #Apple and its products, I think the fan boys keep $AAPL stock a bit higher than it deserves - that being said, that rabid loyalty can't be discounted and does add value to the company. It means any serious errors will be quickly forgiven and even mediocre products will sell well.
The Case for Shorting Apple
It takes guts to say anything negative about #Apple. $AAPL
Here’s Why Apple Should Buy Disney
Good acquisition target for $AAPL that I hadn't thought of. $DIS
Winner & Losers from Amazon’s Proposed Purchase of Whole Foods
I agree but I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing #Amazon Kiosks in the corner of every #WholeFoods location. A great way to sell their actual devices, similar to mini #Apple Stores. $AMZN $WFM $AAPL
Quiet Life: Interview With Netanel Eyal, CEO & Co-Founder
This looks like a cool, innovative product. But tell me @[Netanel Eyal](user:41905), what is to stop companies with a large existing user base, like #Amazon or #Apple from moving in and replicating your accomplishments, by integrating a similar technology into their products? Hat tip to @[Carl Schwartz](user:16874) for pointing this out. $AMZN $AAPL
What Fitbit Inc (FIT) Could Learn From Restoration Hardware (RH)
I agree that $FIT could learn from $RH's stock buyback. But just as the dedicated MP3 player became obsolete with the proliferation of smart phones, I believe #Fitbit is in serious trouble as products like the #AppleWatch go mainstream $AAPL.
Why Barclays Downgraded Apple
With regards to #Apple's exposure to China, the current administration could also negatively impact this front via a trade war. Some are understandably skeptical of this actually coming to full fruition but judging by rhetoric and promise, the chance of this happening has increased. I'd imagine we'll be hearing sooner rather than later on this subject as it is a major point of contention for the current administration. $AAPL
Ignore All The Hype Around BlackBerry Ltd Stock
Personally, I don't see the rationale of #Blackberry getting into the self-driving car market. Especially when companies like #Google and #Apple are aggressively pursuing it, I don't see how Blackberry could pull ahead. $BBRY $GOOGL $AAPL
The Battle of Smartphone Assistants: Siri Vs. Google Assistant
I use #Alexa often. It can't answer nearly as many questions as #Siri, but can have "skills" added, app-like programs to do everything from play games to control your smart home. $AMZN $AAPL
I've never used #GoogleAssist and hadn't realized #Google was getting into this space but could see them being formidable. But I've never had #Cortana successfully answer anything I've ever asked it. All it does is direct me to a web search. No idea what #Microsoft is trying to accomplish with that but I would place them dead last. $GOOGL $MSFT
