Apple releases Iphone 6 and Watch

[avxo]

Yeah, it was 7-1. I had 300 shares, I now have 2100.

Actually, it was a 1-7 split (or a 7-1 reverse split). If it was a 7-1 split, then your 300 shares would have become 42 or 43 shares depending on how fractional shares where handled.

You are wrong here. It was a 7 for 1 split. I own the stock and have a lot more since the split, like 7 times more

[avxo]

Oh, d'oh. Of course it was and I'm wrong. Apple wanted to lower their stock price, hence the split; I had it all mixed up there. Hmm, who was I thinking of that did a reverse split around the same time?

why can;t you get one?

i have one of the models they released for sale last winter

it's amazing. literally. it's really ridiculously cool

i don't have whatever model heath is wearing tho. mine aren't glasses. you can see my eyes and they are the ones that hardly look like you're wearing anything. you can still be smooth in a bar / wherever with them. and the technology didn't go anywhere from then till now

[Var City]

also anyone who buys this apple 6 bullshit

and doesn't wait for the NOTE 4 EDGE to drop

is doing it wrong

i won't be waiting in any lines like the sheep outside that 5th avenue manhattan apple store in the photo above

however i'll be buying the note 4 edge the week it drops, no matter the cost. i've  been waiting for this. and i'm not anti apple. i like their ipad air and use it errrr day.

Very well done. So u have $210,000 of just Apple stock. Is that your only stock u own or u are a getbig millionaire.

Not my only stock by a long shot. 

I originally bought 100 shares in early '07 when Jobs rolled out the first I-phone when it was still in the upper 80's to low 90's. I eventually got up to 500 shares, and sold 400 in Nov '12. I bought a couple hundred shares more in the summer of '13 when I heard some big activist investor money was flooding in. There's something to be said for buying good companies and holding them for a while.

I used to buy puts on it ahead of earnings years ago, but I haven't done that lately. It seems to have lost a lot of its volatility in recent times.

They're currently doing roughly 170 billion in revenue, earning roughly 40 billion a year, have well over 40 billion in cashflow, and have a very interesting pipeline. Lots of big money still in it. Icahn was behind getting them to split and offer a dividend.

Some believe they may buy Netfilx at some point. Icahn owns that one also. Of course some say google has an eye out for Netflix as well.

All that matters to me is that I've made a ton of money with them and hope to continue making more. When I think otherwise, I'll sell.

A buddy of mine was the biggest Apple Fan boy for over a decade, he owned a shitload of Apple and sold it at $17.  HAHAHA.  Fucker could have retired if he held on.

Holy shit. I would want to kill myself. I thought I bought it great for $79.

You'd think they QA this shit.  Apparently 2/3 of apps on ios 8 are crashing for people.  Happens to me a lot now.  Do they not have anyone test this shit?

I'd prefer a steel phone cover, not aluminum.  Even if it's heavier, who cares, I'm a getbigger.

a true getbigger would want a 40 pound phone so every time they use it they can build bigger biceps at the same time.

also we can use it as a weapon for use against armed bouncers or mouthy mother-in-laws.

Lot of complaints already that the 6+ and even the 6 bends in your pocket.

[El Diablo Blanco]

The bending is such bullshit.  You can pick up a laptop and give it full force and it will bend.  Are people folding the fucking thing in their pockets?  that video the guy is trying his hardest to bend it.  Try the same shit with the plastic LG, Samsung or Motorolla, things will snap in half.

^ anything bends or breaks if you stick it in your back pocket and then sit on it.

I can't believe they had an update a week after the major release.  Fuck ups.  Apple is probably outsourcing all their development to Indians and Asians hence the shitty QA and quality of the OS
