He also reiterated his view that Apple CEO Tim Cook has indeed been innovative, pointing to the success of Appleās AirPods and the emerging popularity of the Apple Watch, not to mention the growth the tech giant has seen in recent quarters in its services business.
Again MSFT (1.433T) crossed AAPL (1.429T) on Market cap Today !
Because of anti-competitive acquisition of Whatsapp and instagram by FB, now all mega caps suffer,
Trumps FTC Declares War on Amazon, Facebook, and Other Tech Giants With a Probe of 10 Years of Deals
Objective of the probe is to find out
ā¦ whether large tech companies are making potentially anticompetitive acquisitions of nascent or potential competitors that fall below HSR filing thresholds and therefore do not need to be reported to the antitrust agencies.ā
Affected MAGA F:
Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB) and Microsoft (MSFT)
remember I use it first in 2018.
These companies are truly the pride of America. My boss once equated Facebook to a weekend project of a computer science student to share photos and comments (not the first one though - InfoSpace, Orkut, etc came before it just as google was not the first search engine). It is amazing how a simple idea has become a money-minting machine and connected so many people across the world.
Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple are truly are the giant sophisticated machines.

According to a Bernstein analyst report cited by Quartz, Apple Pay already accounts for 5% of global credit card transactions, which is pretty solid when you consider that the service is only five years old.
ā¦ the same analyst predicts that Apple Pay will grow to 10% of all credit card payments by 2025.
Bernstein analysts also note that theoretically, Apple could end up competing with the likes of Visa and MasterCard with its own payments network, thatās unlikely to happen anytime soon.
@manch Hurry up if you still didnāt own AAPL. So far, @wuqijun @Jil @caiguycaiguy have AAPLs in their portfolio. One stock for all: smart devices, fintech, EV/AV, streaming music/ videos, computers, cloud apps, cloud storage, semi, AI/ML, wearables, home tech, healthcare, ā¦
Apple Pay is a dinosaur. Pay attention to where the future is heading.
No thanks. I am not a criminal. Also, donāt want to contact Coronavirus from you. Not touching anything except my iPhone and Apple Watch.
Apple Pay doesnāt have to be revolutionary. It just adds to ecosystem and keep people using Apple products.
I have added AAPL when it just dipped to $309, but that is not a main source/role as my gains from RUN (2.5%), TEVA (2.5%) and other stocks are too good. On any case, I just hold AAPL, MSFT at same 2.5%.
Technically, both RUN and TEVA are over-extended, correction soon 
Meanwhile my FSLR and SPWR are screwed. Used to rally like RUN. Nowā¦ gave up. Still holding them though.
ATH 
close
@Jil
AAPL $1.423T
MSFT $1,373T
AMZN $1.084T
GOOG $1.044T
Market went up 10% expecting major break yesterday ( pre results ) and when SPWR just meets expectations, pre market corrects same 10%
But such corrections will not long last as SPWR turning from loss to gain side now and next year better returns.
I bought SPWR pre-market at dip catching the falling knife!
Fundamentals are turning positive, market corrects its rally !!! Chances of slight upside or flat , but good at long hold.
Same way, added TSLA as dilution 2B made a dip
SPWRās gross margin is ~10%. Thatās a terrible business.
$260 
now is trading at $325 
Is that old news? Thought he trimmed because over shot 5%
This is tiny, WB reduced AAPL exposure from 5.59% to 5.509% by selling his 1.5% which may be the result of dividend reinvestment and AAPL share buyback increased his stake. He always prefer to keep it less than 5% to avoid immediate sec compliance.
āEven if they get a 50 per cent capacity [reduction], the impact is not ā¦ as bad as people worry. Because they do tend to catch up over time, with working hours,ā Shum said. āāIf I am Apple, I am not going to lose my sleep just yet.ā
