Last week’s attempt to reclaim the ‘bullish phase’ was a particularly critical one, because it’s corresponding with the same type of bearish ‘Real Motion’ condition that has plagued AAPL for months.
Bear of the Day: Pandora Media (P)
I like #Pandora, but don't see how they can compete against the giants like #Apple, #Amazon, and #Google, $AAPL, $AMZN, $GOOGL
Apple Makes A Move
Interesting article Quad 7 Capital, but I wonder... How much of this is #Apple trying to leverage its superior technology to really make their products shine? As opposed to simply being another way to force users to upgrade to their latest gadgets. If everyone using older devices suddenly have all their apps stop working, and the only way to get them to work is to upgrade, well then that reeks of desperation to me and could end up being the straw that finally breaks the famed loyalty of its users. $AAPL
How Wrong Was I on Bitcoin?
I think even you sound depressed in this video. Maybe it's time to admit #bitcoin is not all that some claimed it to be. Personally I was more supportive of your #Apple coverage. Do you still believe in $AAPL?
Apple Makes A Move
What #Apple should have done is find ways to make their new devices stand out. Differentiate them enough to entice people to upgrade. I think the company is losing it's innovative edge. Bearish on $AAPL
Apple Makes A Move
Sorry Abe Jouejati, but you are buying into Apple's excuses. I and countless others had older iPad devices that worked JUST FINE until they forced them to process slower to produce a negative lag. There was no benefit for this - my battery life and processing speed was superb. The real reason for this was #Apple's slowing sales for it's devices. By crippling their older devices, they are increasing demand for new products. $AAPL
Apple Makes A Move
As an #iPhone user I do not like the forced updates. However, this is part and parcel of #Apple's business model. It is a dynamic innovator in a cutting-edge industry where technologies are always emerging and improving. Apple has to be able to keep up and also to keep its existing users up-to-date with new trends. $AAPL
What Happened To The Iphone?
This is true, but as you said, that is where #Apple excels and will continue to do so. The problem is that it's difficult to get excited about new phones or tablets when old ones still work so well (despite Apples attempts at intentionally slowing down older models to spur new purchases).
If history is any judge, when the time comes, Apple will identify the next "big thing," make it better, and make a killing. $AAPL will go then go even higher.
What Happened To The Iphone?
#Apple has excelled at identifying the next big thing and making it better. It did it with computers, MP3 players, tablets, and phones. It never invents a thing. I think they've run out of ideas. $AAPL
This is the Way Facebook Ends (And Maybe Apple and Google)
Nice article Richard Bookstaber, but your entire argument hinges on this statement: "People will know what they want without the advertisers that are outside their social circle chiming in."
I'm not sure I'd agree with that. What is your rationale for that conclusion? People need to first learn about a product somewhere. For me yes, sometimes it is from a friend, but more often than not, it is initially from some form of advertising. $FB $GOOGL $AAPL
Komodo OpenLab: The Startup Giving Independence To The Disabled
Sounds like an interesting product. But can you elaborate on how this differentiates from the advancements in voice recognition that companies like #Google, #Amazon and #Apple are making? Hard to see how you can compete with them. $GOOGL $AMZN $AAPL
