What do you think about GOOG?
I try not to think about them. I expect they will continue to intrude and spy on every aspect of our lives, probably continuing to grow by being evil.
I agree. I personally used only Linux laptops for 20 years, but last year gave up and got a MacBook Air because my wife loves hers so much, and because every single programming job in the last decade simply issued me a Mac laptop of some kind and I got very used to them.
I run Linux in a VirtualBox VM on the Mac and pretty much have the best of both worlds: reliable and functional hardware (printing! wifi! suspend mode!) and a bit-for-bit identical Linux OS so I can develop or test web stuff there before pushing to production with certainty that the code will run the same.
Apple is nearly 40% more valuable than the city of Chicago
They exaggerate a bit:
At current levels, Apple Inc’s AAPL, +0.03% market capitalization of about $803 billion is 38% larger than Chicago, which had a real GDP of $581 billion in 2016.
They are comparing Apple's market cap (cost per share times all shares) with an annual turnover of all goods and services. To be slightly more accurate, we could compare the value of all residential housing to Apple:
Together, all homes in the Chicago area were worth $772.6 billion at the end of 2016
But that's just residential. I bet with all the office space, Chicago is still worth more than Apple.
Anyway, these comparisons assume linearity where there isn't any. Prices change with volume. So if Apple tried to buy all of Chicago, prices for the land would go up. I think it's called "slippage".

Apple cash pile hits new record of $261.5 billion
Apple's new record cash pile is up 13 percent year over year.
back in Jan i said it would be $155 by next Jan.
i guess i need to revise my estimate since the stock has performed much better than i expected: $180 by Jan 2018.
And all those dollars are fiat currency.
anything outside of cash and bonds go up with inflation.
The United States is so small these days, nothing compared to what it once was.

I love it; I am compounding dividends so every 3 months I get some shares of AAPL for free.
I guess soon I will get a couple more shares than I did with the last dividend. I'll take it.
He who has the most shares when he wants to cash them in wins. Over the next few years, AAPL is going back up.
Nobody makes money like Apple does, over time this makes the stock go back up.

There seems to be an "Apple funeral" every 3-4 years when all kinds of pundits come out of woodwork to declare that APPL has no upside because they "can't innovate anymore" and "their products are overpriced"...

The issue now is that the cell carriers aren't subsidizing the iPhone costs anymore and the consumer needs to anti-up the price upfront for the $1,000 iPhone. So, this stops growth, as the Snowflakes don't have that $1000 to spend. The poor Snowflakes end up having to keep their existing phones for more than a year, boo hoo, and can't impress their friends.
Hurray, our teams are losing. Bring out the cheer-leaders. Happy new year.
Um, no:
DASKAA saysUm, no:
Um yeah...
The majority of people can't come up with $400 for an emergency.
You are moving goalposts, my friend: first it was "Snowflakes can't afford $1K to upgrade to the next iPhone" and now it's warrenesque "majority of people cant afford $400 for emergency".
I don't think Apple targets "the majority of people" in the first place -
They're just the phone of choice for the poor Snowflakes... Smart people with money buy Androids.
Hmmm, I believe $450 and $1000 are more than $400. But I didn't take math class in L.A., so maybe it's different there.
The $400 number and the group of people who alledgedly doesn't have even than are irrelevant to the conversation. It's not who Apple is catering to, pure and simple.

So, 2/3rds of the population don't have or use an iPhone? Their not possible Apple customers?
Okey Dokey, never knew a iPhone was a rich mans phone...
