I think the word should be "hope" as far as split and dividends are concerned -
after all look at that insurance company guy, one share of his stock is like $119,000 at this point - I remember when I first saw it at $10,000 and thought "who would buy a stock that's so expensive?" No direct dividends either, although ... forbes.com

Well at this point, 2048 would be a high P/E and people would start talking about froth and start drinking too much beer and would stop playing with iPads and sales would go down so I don't think Apple wants people to drink too much beer.

Power to the two!

Problem is, above 1024, you can't count powers of two linearly on your fingers anymore, you have to invoke your toes. Or count logarithmically on your fingers.

Yoga and other pics are from the intertubes - when I post my own I explicitly state it.

If we head down to 256, two to the eighth, it'd be a great buying opp...

They didn't elaborate the reason about the happiness, but it's obvious to most of us:

They use Macs and iPads, not PCs and Android-things, for the most part.

Definitely leads to life's happiness.

yep - most people if they could earn double their salary...

Foxconn to Double Worker’s Wages; Could Have Global Implications
digitaltrends.com 

"The move by Foxconn might also have significant implications for the Chinese economy, which would cause global ripples. Salaries across China are extremely low by US standards. If the Foxconn salary increase is seen as a success, it might force other companies in China to follow suit, which would lead to a global price shift as manufacturers either lower their profit margins, or increase their costs. The world-wide implications might be profound, to say the least."


Of course, depending upon your point of view, the increase is piddling.
Depending on your point of view.
No soup for you!

"So, that means you don't expect the price of Apple to go up because you sold you calls?"

Where do you come to that conclusion? Sold some Mar calls but I have other vested position.
Sold Mar calls because like I said, the market and AAPL have traded wildly last few days which take a big bite out of in the money calls.

Don't read between the lines as there's nothing but white space.

Interesting.

Some call it a sweatshop.

Maybe it is.

But still:

"You go in this place and it's a factory but, my gosh, they've got restaurants and movie theatres and hospitals and swimming pools,"
thenational.ae 


I guess they only let executives and management have access???


Okay I'm done, as I just thought of some similar situations but it brings politics into it and we do not want to go down that path on this thread.

I closed out my Puts a bit after the meeting ended. They were up 33% for a bit until just after the meeting ended so I put a stop in and let them go on auto. Eventually hit my stop and I lost lunch money. But the action was so good I just left my July call position on. Took it too soon obviously but it darned near clawed its way back to even.

I am surprised as I've ever been at the action with no news ... truly 100% shocked.

Obviously, the masses all believe it's just a matter of when and what rather than if ... so there was no sell on the news of no action.

Will keep this position on and likely add a leap position if the opportunity presents itself.

cnb , fox financial, bloomberg all attributed run up to speculation of a dividend down the road and back backs. this was supported from a few guest analysts after the conference.
