on Premarket: Apple is red - 'In early afternoon trading on this Monday the NASDAQ Composite has just set another new all-time high of 27,420.12. The S&P 500 is nearing record territory while the DJIA moves modestly higher. As Yahoo! Finance reports this morning, the US unemployment rate is approaching a record not seen since the 1960s – the number of consecutive months below 5%. The record sits at 64 months. Currently the rate has stayed below 5% for 61 consecutive months. There are a lot of factors in play, including demographics changes, that support today’s lower unemployment rate. On this day Apple is trading up $0.79 at $334.48. Among other gainers on the day NVIDIA has set a new all-time high today as it continues to push its market cap to record levels.

on A big bet on Apple at $245 - '‘”Apple has options that expire each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.” Thanks. I didn’t know that.'
on A big bet on Apple at $245 - 'My comment is if I had sold the puts. If I owned them and exercised them it would mean selling them to someone (putting) for a very big loss.'
on Mark Gurman retails Apple smart home rumors in his first 'Power On' podcast - 'I think Apple is selectively using Gurman. I can’t for an instant believe that Apple’s security is that porous, especially in view of the lack of firings. While some of us greatly dislike rumor dissemination, they do keep Apple in the news. Looking back, when, if ever, has Gurman revealed a major news coup. If my addled brain recalls correctly, Gurman’s “scoops” have always been minor in nature or wrong. Additionally, Gurman knows this and uses these “leaks” to further his career.'
on Mark Gurman retails Apple smart home rumors in his first 'Power On' podcast - 'I seriously question how he gets his information. Either his source is inside Apple, who is probably breaking confidentiality agreements, or it’s outright IP theft.'
on Mark Gurman: John Ternus hangs out in Apple's industrial design shop - 'RPL, thanks for sharing your story. May your day be filled with fond memories and comfort.'
on Mark Gurman: John Ternus hangs out in Apple's industrial design shop - 'Robert, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt memory about your father and your shared interest in Apple technology. I’m sure he remains proud of all you’ve accomplished since with Apple at your side. That’s the mark of how a company, it’s products, and its philosophy shapes the relationship between users and makers, it’s not just a tool, but also a partner in discovery of what can be done together.'
on Mark Gurman: John Ternus hangs out in Apple's industrial design shop - 'Remember these groups are having to overcome the years Dye was in charge. New leaders and new members. He was put in charge of them and likely has been transitioning them into the full Apple culture. Or his view of the culture. I wonder how much he had input into the final Duo design? Apple is releasing a lot of new hardware so I am glad the hardware guy is more hands on here. These releases will be harbingers of Apple’s future so better make them something he can support. Being hands on is a good thing.'
on Mark Gurman: John Ternus hangs out in Apple's industrial design shop - '‘Visiting several times a day’ sounds disruptive. In my design practice we had a 3hour morning slot where we discouraged interaction so that you could immerse yourself in the problem. Every conversation, every meeting is a break in concentration. Clearly the design problems they are tackling at Apple are complex and require deep uninterrupted thought. …but I think it’s great that there is renewed interest in the ID department.'
