Man, Cramer, still remember the crap he did in the dot com era, who on earth who listen to this clown. Cook, stay away for your own good!

That would be a legacy for Jobs, he was frustrated by how low tech, much of the medecine still was, especially outside acute care.
Health care spendings should be 90% before you get sick, 10% after. Right now its 5% before and 95% after. The overall amount in the first case would be much much less too.
Everybody should watch Jim Cramer on Jon Stewart's show..... and then consider his advice.

Did not need to see Cramer have an orgasm on screen. That was awful!
Better than seeing it in person, I'm fairly sure.
And the naysayers just can't stand it as evidenced by their trolling here.

What? Just because the Android/Samsung watches were complete failure, it doesn't mean Apple watches will be.
----------
Probably because Jim has been championing AAPL stock for the past year or so. His famous saying is "Buy and hold Apple stocks, don't trade it". However, people forget that he used to flip flop on Apple. Maybe Jim has finally seen the light.
Whatever you may think of him, he attracts a lot of mom and pop type of investors.
One of the jobs of the CEO's is to promote your company, and that's what Tim did. This was a special anniversary show which will get a bigger rating than usual.
Egad, Jim Cramer? The guy who literally admitted to running pump-and-dump schemes using his bully pulpit? The guy who literally, on TV, explained how to start garbage Apple rumors so you can short AAPL (which indications are hes probably done himself)? The guy who has changed his recommendations on AAPL from trashing it to talking it up, repeatedly, in just the last few years? The guy whose recommendations would get you 12% return on investment, while just buying the S&P or Dow or would get you 16% and 22%, respectively?
Yes, his show generates short-term bumps for various stocks. Hes famous for it. And for capitalizing on that. And thats what hes good at--manipulating stocks, not picking good ones.
Why on earth would Cook waste his time talking to this slimeball?
----------
Why would this recommendation be any different?

Hes changed his AAPL recommendation--strongly--like four or five times in just the last 5 years. None of which correlated to any actual performance of the stock, and certainly not of the companys earnings.
Why would this recommendation be any different?
Jim Cramer bashing aside-
ResearchKit is a pretty amazing idea. I know this phrase gets thrown around by Tim a lot, but only Apple could do something like this. It'll be interesting to see how it contributes to research.

The Apple Watch, HealthKit, ResearchKit, etc just enable the problem when it comes to healthcare. We don't have a healthcare system in this country. We have a sickness for profit system. Want better health? Start by changing your diet. Cut out sugar, processed carbohydrates, wheat, GMOs, antibiotic-saturated meats, hormone laden dairy, etc. Our food system is the problem when it comes to healthcare. And none of this new technology is going to fix that. By 2020, half of the entire American population will be diabetic or pre-diabetic. And around 1 in 3 people now get cancer.
People would rather wear a device that monitors their vitals, tells them when to take their drugs, etc. than change bad habits. People are curing cancer every day with decarboxylated high THC marijuana oil. But instead we need more studies and more (patentable) drugs from the for-profit pharmaceutical industry to sustain and grow their 100 billion dollar a year cancer industry (where most customers die eventually, after as much money as possible is extracted). There's a small group of people who will definitely benefit from health monitoring devices. But the majority of people don't need to be constantly monitored. They need to change their habits and patterns. Or risk becoming a revenue stream for the pharmaceutical industry.

Really?
Do some US peeps really follow this kind of garbage hype-a-thon for stock investment advise? Forget day trading, this is like second trading. Just wondering, as seems a little bizarre from a non-US perspective. Mind you some of the shiz on the money channels these days so nothing surprises me, lol!

Sounds like common sense, but not reality. I wouldn't be wholly surprised if Cramer is aware of the company in question on most calls, but there are reasons for that. Everyone screening the calls would be careful not to throw Cramer some company he has no info on so he can give a halfway decent assessment. They would either give a heads up so he can look the company up, or, reject the caller. With AAPL it's freaking common sense to ALREADY have done research on it and have a wealth of info. They're the biggest company in the world and one of the fastest growing. You'd be an idiot not to keep up with them as an investor. Especially given that he gave his assessment of them a day or two ago, and of course has paid attention to them since they just announced a large-purchase-item product expected to sell some 15-40million units just a few days ago. They don't have to script it because he's already prepared. It would literally just spoil the surprise because there's no advantage to telling him.
His acting? Yeah, I bet it's terrible. I've had acting classes and most people can't act their way out of a paper bag. I've seen Cramer a good bit and this is how he usually reacts. He's always quickly responsive and extroverted. If he were acting it would be so terrible NOBODY who watches him would believe him. It's possible he knew about the call coming and had to react in the moment so that would be why he seemed natural. He literally broke down angrily crying years ago as a guest on another show, talking about friends in the the banking sector before the financial crisis. He's that expressive.
Either way, this is Cramer being Cramer and he did ask vague questions that were subtle winks, like asking if we would have a diabetes monitoring device with healthkit in our lifetime. Seriously, he asks that and you think it's scripted? That's an Apple Watch rumor very few investors know about. There would be no point in asking it for the audience that watches his show other than his future advice.

Apparently no one else heard the nugget that Jobs' office is still next to Cook's with his name still on it.
Anybody think this is related to Jim Cramer stating on Monday that the Apple Watch was all about the future and health innovations. Cramer said imagine an Apple Watch that monitors your blood pressure and is able to detect if you have cancer, then an Apple Watch would be mandatory.
Beyond the folly of an Apple Watch detecting cancer does anybody believe that such health advances would only be possible in an Apple Watch and not available in an Android Watch?
The free media given to Apple is amazing, CNBC covered that Apple Watch event as if it was the moon landing. And ultimately this is my problem with CNBC, too many pro business shills and not enough independent analysts.
If Cramer was a true non partisan stock analyst he would have hung up the phone.

You know, I'm not one to assume something is going to be big or anything...but everytime something big comes along, this is the type of stuff people say just before it happens.
"HealthKit might be able to monitor diabetes"
I hope Apple Watch can be linked to the "Flash" of "Abbott" company ASAP. And that´s it.
I was able to test the Abbott glucose monitoring system, it works very well, but currently you have to use Abbott´s large and ugly display unit...
The sensor is placed in the arm, it is read out wireless via NFC (a bit modified version it could be done with Apple Watch), sensor lifetime up to 14 days.

I think you missed a couple earnings calls...

Bet on a future Apple watch having the diabetic sensor built right in.
Your healthcare company will pay for it too.
Same magic? With the core products, apple will be strong for years, though I feel innovation is not the main focus , purchase of Beats very unlike apple, and creation of luxury high end shows that the company has lost its focus and drive somewhat.
Survived it has and will for a long time, the magic is not the Same.
