Hmm, What Is Apple Doing?

Not doing too well. I guess what irks me is the confident prediction of where things will go.

We all know nothing.

2255

Didnā€™t suggest anything. Just pointing out that fact.

2256

Are you very confident we all know nothing?

2257

We all know nothing about the future. Yes, very confident.

We all know something about the past. But even there the knowledge is not evenly spread.

2258

But I am very confident both of us will die in the future. So I am very confident where things will go, I will die sometime in the future.

2259

See I am not so sure about that. I heard sucking young peopleā€™s blood will let you live forever? :vampire:

2260

You irk yourself? :scream:

Read my statements closely: I am talking about the present state. :wink: Maybe humans in the future can predict the future? That I donā€™t know.

Actually one of the key things I am reminded by WBā€™s letters is the concept of focusing on the invariant. Jeff Bezos talked about the same thing. Stock price can go up or down, but good businesses will prevail. So the right attitude of an Apple investor should be to focus on their products, present or future, and not its daily stock fluctuations.

Nothing is invariant in the long run, right?

If everything is predictable then no money can be made. Must I bust out Einsteinā€™s quote againā€¦

2264

Many things are predictable, humans are unpredictable :grinning: hence stock market is unpredictable.
Who is Einstein? Did he say that? I know who is Zhuge Liang. I also know Ying Yang.
I know a few stratagem. Deal with changes with status quo. Number 36 stratagem is to run away :slight_smile:
