You can’t really gauge the market by the same metrics people used to use. The companies trading now are different beasts and more and more people are hooked. Let’s see what the stock does after Cramer gets through with it tonight.
What matters is the fed balance sheet and fiscal stimuli coming out of congress. Cramer is just noise.

For the over all market I agree. Also I don’t nut hug Cramer but gave him credit for bringing up the point of the weak dollar could lead to a substantial beat. As ashamed of myself for admitting I watch him I couldn’t just steal the idea as if it was my own. I think it’s a valid point.
 
Don't expect a huge increase in stock price next week as much of that expectation of a huge Q1 is already priced in the current stock value.
You're right about everybody and their brother expecting a huge Q1 beat. The surprise will be the effect (benefit) of the weak dollar, especially compared to RMB.
 
Ahh, the good old days “unlimited growth”. $100T by 2050?
That sounds like too little. I was hoping for Moore's law, or a doubling every 18 months. By 2050, that translates to $2T x 2^20 or ~$2,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2 quintillion).

Hmm, that sounds more like it.
Apple has done the impossible to extract unlimited wealth off of finite resources.
 
Going to announce $100 Billion in Revenue Q1 on the 27th. Just flipping Mind Blowing. I'm going out on a limb and say they hit $30 billion in profit. If not $26-28 easily. Margins still around 38.6.

They're like their own Nation State these days.
 
Don't know if anyone noticed but Intel reported $1.55 or so with concensus at $1.10. Intel is selling a ton of CPUs. Yes, they are not competitive with AMD but you can't get AMD CPUs so you buy Intel CPUs instead. And I'm think that Intel sold a lot of CPUs to Apple in Q4 given how hard it is to find iMacs in my local stores.

I’ve been saying that about Tesla since before they did a 5-way split recently and I’ve been wrong continually. Recently read an article that modeled a Tesla in 2035 with 20% of the auto market and the stock price was like $880 per share. Basically where they are at today in valuation, but I’m not dumb enough to short Tesla.

Apple is poised much better in my opinion from a valuation perspective. Their new silicon could easily lead to a doubling of their share of the PC market since Intel has no good way to catch up. HomePod mini was a runaway success and is still out of stock everywhere (especially when compared to the original HomePod). Add in the anticipation of Apple AR Glasses, more new macs, an Apple Car with Kia, AirTags, new AirPods and whatever else they have cooking and their P/E ratio looks kinda low. AAPL could grow to $200 per share in 2021.
 
I have 3,600 shares directly but I prefer a much more diversified portfolio. I'd guess that I have a bunch more in index funds.
Much more sensible approach. I just got very lucky with my pick. Had I gone with Blackberry I wouldn't be retired. Or even close. My general 401k just keeps creeping upwards. Can't argue with that either. Buy and hold. I of course am not an expert in this stuff... just lucky.

For sure the dividend should be increased, I agree. But they announce that in April May .
I'd really like it if they did another big jump like they did three years ago. They've gotten a bit more conservative with increases the past two. A mere 12% would make me really happy! Or have the stock price jump, either or. 😀
 
Can't stop AAPL since the iPod in 2001. It transformed the company completely. I've told anyone and everyone the same since, and only 2 of my buddies ever bought any.

<== AAPL shareholder since 1996:)
You’re a true HODLER than!

It seems that AAPL will actually be over $150. But, to be honest, it is starting to be overpriced.
AAPL isn't overpriced when you compare it to other companies.
The whole market might be overpriced tho, but when comparing AAPL to other companies it's definitely not overpriced.
