It could be worse I could have spent it on an iPhone XS Max.
Based on what? The entire market selling off? Apple is one of the cheapest stocks in the s&p, particularly when you consider their revenue and EPS growth.
You, like everyone else, has no idea what stocks will do day to day.
I do know Apple is growing EPS at 40%, revenue at 20% and has a fantastic cash generating business that will be worth more over time. Higher EPS = higher stock prices, eventually. Don’t get caught up in a month or a year of selling. Apple is still up big this year.
Can you see the difference 8 inches from their screen? If you always look at your phone closer than 8 inches, it won't be good for your eyes.
This is a swing buy on my part. If it climbs to $200 i will sell. If it climbs above $195 and can not reach $200 I will set a trigger for $195. If it goes down from $192.80 i will consider buying more.
At $1920.80 it is a good value I mean I will only sell my latest shares at those prices not the entire thing.
Who cares? Did you short it big? If not, you’re just throwing out meaningless predictions.

You just threw that out as a reason. No one even knows if iPhone sales are impacted by this nonsense guess from Kuo, let alone why.
The freaking Nubia X is not realistic competition for iPhone unless it starts running iOS. These silly gimmick designs are more competition for other phones running Android than Apple.
Again, no one but Apple knows how iPhone is doing and all sales data has been nothing but positive from Apple. Apple sold MORE iPhones in 2018 than 2017 at far higher prices. They don’t need huge unit sales row then with their pricing power and shift to services.
The people that threaten to short or don't even own stocks do not even know you can't just sign up to Ameritrade and short it. It takes awhile to be approved.
I hope they do short it...just more people to get squeezed and fuel to make AAPL go higher.
Earnings win in the end and Apple is doing that. I’d never sell unless the facts change in the data. Simply too good of a business.
I don't know if this was posted already, I read an article on Google just awhile so that says the supplier that makes the Face ID parts for their largest customer, had cut back orders for the coming quarter. In their last earnings statement, they listed Apple as their biggest customer. This makes at least three claims now.
We speak the same language.
[doublepost=1542078709][/doublepost]Does anybody want to wager that AAPL makes a nice come back in the pre-market?
take a breath and relax...
Not meaningless. I do ta and trade for a living.
Last time I said it I got some hate too but of course its an apple site and I am an apple fanboy. No need to get angry over simple TA...
I totally agree with this. We need an SE2! You know the current phones are too thick when the iPad Pro is thinner.
My problem with the newest batch of phones is that they're too thick and too heavy. I would love an SE2; I don't need a case for it and I barely notice it in my pocket. Maybe if the newer phones were thinner and lighter I'd be tempted for the extra screen space. Maybe one day they'll get there but I'm holding on to my dollars until the SE2 or a thinner/lighter XS.

Looks like you're the first to mention Lumentum.

It's definitely bigger than what I want to carry. I think Apple needs to get punished a bit for only marketing big phones. There is definitely a market for an SE2 and the way we can prove it is to not buy some huge, heavy, overpriced monstrosity.
Even Kuo's lower estimate means that 1% of the entire human population of the world will buy an XR within the first 12 months. Not including all the people buying the Xs and Xs max as well as older models. For premium phones at the top of the price range, that is phenomenally good. It's pushed Apple to a trillion dollar company (at least briefly). If Apple holds those sales they will continue to be a trillion dollar company. But when they dominate that much of the world, how much upward potential do you think the stock has?
Lifecycle of an analyst:
1. Make exxagerated positive prediction of Apple shipment prior to product release
2. Make even more exxagerated negative prediction after product release
3. ... (watch all the bloggers and journalists eating it all up and parroting it as facts and news)
4. Profit.

You mean you underperform the market for a living? Who is angry? I’m simply pointing out that making a prediction without real money backing it is just worthless talk.
It’s been established in another thread that Apple has at least 3 suppliers for FaceID components. As usual, it’s impossible to base anything on one supplier who does 70% of their business with companies other than Apple and is looking for a scapegoat for a bad quarter. Apple may have cut their orders because Finisar could deliver more.
Any analysts making prediction based on supplier reports has been proven wrong time and again, going back to the iPhone 5.
