What to Expect From Apple's Earnings Report Tomorrow Following iPhone 15 Launch

Ppl love to celebrate apples financial success but hate when they increase their prices ..just look at the recent articles on the services increase for apple TV, news, arcade etc.
They have that success by fleecing you out. You should celebrate those prices increases if you also celebrate increasing stock prices, cash reserves, valuation etc.

Fleecing implies involuntary action. No one is twisting your arm to buy Apple products. You’re not being tricked. You know the price and you choose to pay it. Sure, complain all you want to about rising prices on EVERYTHING but “fleecing” is a pretty dumb term to use.

There are only two reasons to hold $AAPL stock

1.) To sell off a large chunk for a sizeable profit during a certain period of time.

2.) Have a large chunk and appreciate the dividend... which is what, 24 cents per share in the US?

There is only one reason which is to quickly and cheaply achieve international diversification in the US for cheap and at low idiosyncratic company risk.

I wish I realized this when the pandemic hit.

I don’t think so, because there is a question as to how many they can produce. If they can make them, I think unit sales are north of 10m units. But nobody outside Apple knows manufacturing capacity for the product, so that is why I don’t think analysts are factoring it in. And Quest demand has little to do with with Vision Pro demand — two different consumers — much like iOS vs Android.

Sources I read said that Quest sold a total of 20m units at, what 20% or less the price of a vision. No way Apple gets to half of that in the first couple years of production.

Remember that people had portable music, pcs, laptops, phones and watches long before Apple entered these markets. Nothing against Apple, I just don't think this is a volume category.

Yeah, we get it, the “Apple is failing” narrative common in some quarters of the internet blogosphere. But then they’ve been failing since April1, 1976 haven’t they? Wishing and predicting it always leaves egg on faces.

Who said anything about failing? The topic is whether AAPL is overvalued or not. But I get it, the “Apple can do no wrong” is a narrative common in some quarters of the internet blogosphere.

There are three reasons, actually.
3.) To MAKE MONEY by investing in Apple long term and reinvesting all those dividends. Then buy more on the dips. You know, like Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway now owns 5.99% of AAPL. As for the dividend, had you bought 25 shares of Apple in 2013, when it was $420/share ($10,500 total), you would now have 800 shares from splits. Had you reinvested those dividends, you would have 812 shares. The dividend is 96¢/share annually. Your annual dividend payout would be about $779.52. Since you paid $10,500 for your shares, the real dividend yield on your shares would be 7.4%. You would have $143,717.79 worth of Apple stock. Not a bad return on $10,500.

How much is Buffett's 5.99% of Apple worth? $163.2 BILLION. Be like Buffett.

Have a parent be on company's board of directors?

Again the dividend is very nice, especially if you large chunk of shares. Even as low in the double digits.

No it does not and teenagers are a group of ppl ridiculed/bullied if they have a green bubble. Try harder

AAPL closed at an all time high today. Can't complain if you own a few shares. 😀
