Weekend Updates
-
Lastly, was discussing AAPL over coffee with a complete tech layman, who said “Have you heard about the new Apple iPhone dock connector? If they release that the stock will tank, unless Apple also releases adapters.” the person is smart but did not convince me. Define “tank”: 10%? 20%? Over a *cable*? Just not seeing it. So just another tiny data point to chew on.
Silly, I agree.

Let’s savor this, before we talk about imminent collapses and retraces and selling the news?

You reacll that Apple was saying that Car manufacturer were looking into incorporating the iPhone in the car?
Haven’t seen much of it (apart for a USB hub)
Could the new connector be an answer to a request from the car manufacturer while improving the design?

Nah. Apple won’t make a dock connector for such a “small” market as auto integration. It made the change on its own. I’m actually surprised the Dock Connector has stuck around as long as it has.
Eyes Free integration is supposed to happen in the 12 months from WWDC.

I am also going to pick up a bottle of special wine on the way home.

My favorites! I’ll be over… did you keep the brown sacks? Have you got a lean-to in the back yard?

The only way to change the perception, is to change the reality.

So a couple things. First, mint juleps.
Second, my read is “buy the rumor” in anticipation of “sell the news”. There are no credible rumors and yet all kinds of not-so-crazy rumors lately: iTV, iPad Air/Nano/whathaveyou, iPhone 5, 13"MBPr, new iMac. So buy buy buy in now for whichever-all rumor finally turns true and then sell sell sell.
Lastly, was discussing AAPL over coffee with a complete tech layman, who said “Have you heard about the new Apple iPhone dock connector?

A fun article to skim about the rumored cable, with pictures: http://itsmorereal.tumblr.com/post/29480903669/the-foolproof-dock-connector
Good article on what many would think is such a simple and overlooked cable. It looks like Apple wants to own this feature too.

I didn’t vote in this poll, but clearly John Browett, Apple’s retail guy in charge, isn’t very popular in this one.

This rocket is just getting started.

Is Browett in that rocket?
(A question that could be answered in several different ways…)

Not only silly, probably moot. Apple is likely to have an adapter solution.

Romulan Ale…the good blue stuff.
Somebody really wanted to own this stock today. The cynical side of me, (my best side) thinks we are going to get some news early next week that will confirm some of the better rumors out there…...Today’s action on a sleepy August Friday is just a bit hard to fathom without an underlying basis…and price targets don’t count.
A bullish conference call between Peter Oppenheimer and analysts didn’t hurt, I suspect. But they were primed to be pumped.
