There is still a lot of "2005" Microsoft crap in business. Computers running old Windows versions are all over the place in business. Even the newest Windows PCs have remnants of previous crappy PCs in them.
Your opinions and hot takes are terrible lol.

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make? That 18 year old software still works or...?

Nevermind I asked I'm not in the mood to educate any strangers today.
 
Microsoft sucks so much people would rather use their iPhones at work.
I don’t like Microsoft products either but the stock is gold.
I still think Microsoft/Nvidia will go in front. I’m excited for iOS and MacOS 15 but Apple will need to do a lot more in the coming years if they want to stay up where they are.
Not sure about Nvidia staying as hot as it is forever. The problem is that all it’ll take are the tech giants to build their own chipsets to workaround Nvidia. They might not be as effective but they won’t have to pay as much either.
 
It is my thoughts. I don't like Microsoft. Everything they make in business is boring and tedious and more complex than it needs to be.
And what Apple has done to make business "less boring and tedious"? Does Apple have MDM services for the large business / enterprise? How Numbers compares to Excel? How does iCloud works in business?

Maybe you don't like MS, but they are miles better than Apple in business and enterprise market.

What Apple did since 2000s? Nothing.
Both companies did massive turnarounds multiple times since 2000...this is absurd. iPod, iPhone, iPad, numerous services and accessories, the Macbook Air that created the ultra PC market...

On the Microsoft side, since 2000? Active Directory, Unified Communications of many varieties, the most impressive SaaS cloud on the planet, Azure's backbone alone is an achievement, and now they are at the forefront of AI.
 
Unless you’re a shareholder this isn’t good news. Some people act like this is a sports team to them. Celebrating multi trillion dollar companies is cringe.

Vision Pro looks like a failure but maybe with it finally coming to more markets and Apple being so desperately like “please develop for it, please!” then it will have some success but it’s still a $3,500 headset. It’s going to take years for Vision headsets to really take off if they ever do.

iPhones sales are still struggling. Services are doing well for Apple but they need some new exciting hardware to milk for the next couple decades. I think they thought Vision would be that but the headsets taking over iPhone is probably at least 10 years away.
Nvidia will absolutely fall behind when the dust is settled. Microsoft and Apple will remain right about where they are. The markets for all of this are quite saturated as it is.
 
Why are you on forums? If I was retired with mills in stock I'd be hand building a clay oven to make traditional pizzas in the middle of the countryside and going fishing. Last thing I would do is talk to strangers online :p

I mean, it's a forum full of various personalities. If you believe all or pretty much any of these claims, I want to speak to you about a new product: frozen water. I'm calling it ICE, and I think you're going to like it.
 
This nice bump just paid for my new iPad.
I hope, you really cashed in on the gains and sold some of your stocks. Imaginary, not realized profits are just pipe-dreams. In the not to far future, people will realize that not every product with "AI" will guarantee large profits.

So funny the Apple bashing inertia on MR. Nothing screams failure for a company like Apple's continued success for years. Cue the ISheep music...
 
As it should be.
I can't believe that's your user name LOL. For those of you who know...

Aside from this, I also can't believe the world values a single company at $3.0T... and that Apple's greatest product appears to be it's stock.
 
took awhile for aapl to break out
happy for the long term holders
patience is a virtue

Actually, I worked for Apple from 2004 until 2014. That's why I follow trade news. As for the brick (not clay) pizza oven, there are not one, but TWO artisan pizzerias within 2 miles of my Chicago home. One owner (Sapori Napolitano) is from Naples, and built his own when he arrived here. The other (Forno Rosso) is owned by the great grandson of Frank (the enforcer) Nitti, and he spend a year in Naples, learning to make traditional pies. Both use only ingredients approved by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, (AVPN). I've never been to Naples myself, but I sure had a few pizzas in the rest of Tuscany. Siena has the best I've tried, with Montalcino not far behind (You can drink some really great Brunellos at fantastic prices there, and the town is stunning).

So yes, I do have some affluenza, but no need to build my own Forno, Rosso or otherwise. I really enjoyed your post, though!

In my humble opinion ALL the companies in the top ten in market capitalization are great companies. Just think about it, Apple and Microsoft, in any order would rank between #5 India and #6 the United Kingdom in Gross Domestic Product if they were countries. Whew.
 
AAPL opened at 207. By early after noon it was at 219 but dropped to 213 by the end of the day. This sure seems like programmatic trades and not anything specific to WWDC.

The entire market not just Apple retracted some after the Fed's announcement of no rate cut and only 1 possible cut this year.

It is WWDC why it pops, is 2 fold, it’s the first use of AI to help you personally and not answer some trivia you could also search the web for and so it will be super useful and as it is perceived as useful and you need an iPhone 15 Pro, in the coming years you will see a massive upgrade cycle in iPhones, hence all analysts have given upgrades and people bought … there are sell orders along the way that will make the stock retreat … every retreat is now a buying opportunity, as the sell orders are depleted, it will resume it’s climb … simple as that.

Nothing to do with programmatic.

The market initially went up today because inflation reports were seen in a good light. This caused some enthusiasm.

Towards the end of the day the Fed said they still want to see inflation come down more and will only be cutting rates once this year. This caused day traders to take profits.
