on Apple touches $339.57 — a new intraday high — and overtakes Nvidia - 'Is this a run up to earnings? Or possibly a short squeeze happening? Maybe both? Who knows?

on 22 minutes with ex-Twitter CEO Dick Costolo - 'I didn’t listen to all of it. My takeaway was a new expression, one describing the dumbing-down effect of A.I.: “Cognitive off-loading.”'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Go on a 10 year AAPL chart, and draw a line along the highs between now and the 40 PE Apple first hit in 2020 after a massive revaluation upwards. Do you see all that area underneath that line? That’s the price Apple paid to buy back it’s undervalued stock…. And the line itself predicts the future….'

on Goldman Sachs raises Apple target $30 to $370 - '3. Cloud Hybrid AI acts as the Perfect “Cost Buffer” Because Android makers have a massive safety net that Apple lacks—Google Cloud & Gemini—they do not need to over-spec their cheap hardware. Instead of spending money to build heavy 12GB RAM mid-range phones that can process AI locally, Android brands can simply ship a standard 6GB RAM phone & route any AI requests through the cloud. This strategy allows them to stamped a flashy “AI Capable” badge on the retail box w/o paying a single extra cent for premium on-device hardware components. The Strategic Conclusion Your argument highlights exactly why the total Android AI shipment numbers can be deceptive. While the silicon processors inside $250–$600 chips will technically become AI-capable out of the box, manufacturers will intentionally starve lower-tier devices of the heavy RAM configurations required to run advanced AI locally. By keeping mid-range RAM restricted & relying on cheap cloud routing, Android OEMs can protect their financial recovery while keeping their retail focus entirely on the battery, screen, & camera features that price-sensitive markets actually demand.”'
on Goldman Sachs raises Apple target $30 to $370 - 'Question for the group. Is it possible to use a VPN and fake your location and download a fully functional iOS update with AI and the new Siri? Seems to me that would be desired in the EU.'
on Goldman Sachs raises Apple target $30 to $370 - 'As everyone here knows, Goldman Sachs is a significant brand name on Wall Street. And so other analysts are going to be paying close attention. Goldman’s reasons for raising their target on Apple are standard run-of-the-mill, nothing we all haven’t heard before. I think what’s significant is that they’re raising it just a few days before the ER. Like most big Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs tends to be fairly conservative with their targets. They don’t want to risk their client’s dough. MY TAKE I think the timing and significant amount of the target increase from a brand like Goldman Sachs is going to fuel a chain reaction. As other firms follow suit and raise their targets. Whether they do it before the ER or after, doesn’t matter. I think Apple‘s ER is going to be fine. Whether there is a “sell on the news” algorithm moment or not, all else being equal, I think Apple is heading to $365 by the end of the year, IMO. I think the benefits of Apple’s strategy – particularly their very smart approach to investing CapEx in AI, as well as the coming new and existing product upgrade cycle – all seems pretty obvious now. Not to mention, not unlike Goldman Sachs, now seems like a good time to put good karma out there. Happy trading, all.'
on Goldman Sachs raises Apple target $30 to $370 - 'Clever, Steven! As for the biblical version: On May 24, 1844, inventor Samuel Morse sent these exact words over the world’s first long-distance electric telegraph line, from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Surprising stock strength on a Monday morning. I wonder if it will grow or wane after Europe market closes. The move could be partially a reaction to Iran crisis pause. Optimism before earnings usually peaks around now.'
