Transactions habbened Janaury 25th-28th

 

These are moar examples of management seeing the writing on the wall. They all have trading plans tied to compensation however it is usually done it much smaller amounts and not all at once. They still have sizable positions registered for sale

 

Not so with the recent examples of Reed Hastings at NFLX and naughty jack at Square.

Those form 4 filings show no shares left of the ones registered for sale.

 

This does not mean they are out of shares in total..just the ones they have nominated for sale for this process.

Apple Cuts iPhone Prices For Second Time Ever

 

After reporting its first-ever dip in holiday season iPhone sales since the pioneering smartphone was introduced 12 years ago, it appears Apple has finally gotten the message that trying to sell $999 smartphones in a world where Samsung and (in foreign markets, at least) Huawei offer models with comparable functionality at a much, much lower price isn't a savvy business strategy.

 

Apple will cut iPhone prices for only the second time in the device's history, Apple CEO Tim Cook told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that the cuts will be restricted to foreign markets where the dollar's strength has impacted sales (though critics have also questioned the company's decision to offer $1,000 smartphones beginning with the iPhone X). Cook didn't specify which markets would be impacted.

 

Cook said Apple would reset prices by adjusting for the last year's worth of dollar appreciation, effectively meaning the company will absorb the foreign exchange impact.

 

"Weโ€™ve decided to go back to (iPhone prices) more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago, in hopes of helping the sales in those areas," Cook said.

 

A few weeks ago, Apple cut its sales guidance for the first time in 16 years, citing slowing sales in China as the biggest factor. Its Tuesday earnings report largely corroborated this, with the company registering a 26.7% plunge in China revenue, with the drop in China sales amounting to nearly $5 billion (from $18BN to $13.2BN).

The two caps are why they are doing this. Massive share repurchase program, need to continue to pay dividends and failure to disclose unit sales.

the index's. Do you read futures at all?

I can't predict, nor do I want to, what any asset class will do and not on the open.

been doing this for awhile.

No individual classes mentioned unless price action or earnings are relevant here. Just overall market performance is what is spoken of.

 

The only asset mentioned consistently is Ag/Au.

This is not a stock advice board. Places for that anon. This is not one of them.

For those who do not understand why AAPL is trading up on it's earnings release.

 

They buy and have bought massive amounts of it's own stock thus reducing it's share float to run against it's actual EPS report.

 

When you take shares out of the market you automatically increase your EPS.

It's a tired old game.

for a recent example of the bank earnings and how they reported very poor performance metrics but still managed to not tank on those.

 

It is a game

N. Korea selling fishing rights to China in violation of U.N. sanctions

 

NEW YORK โ€” North Korea has sold fishing rights to Chinese fishery operators in violation of U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang, according to an upcoming annual report by a U.N. Security Council expert panel.

 

North Korea has used the sale of fishing rights as an important means of acquiring foreign currency, the report says. In some cases, Chinese fishing boats flew the Northโ€™s national flag in an attempt to disguise themselves.

 

The latest revelation is based on details in the report, a copy of which has been obtained by The Yomiuri Shimbun.

 

The panel of experts is tasked with monitoring the implementation of U.N. sanctions against the North. Every March, it publishes an annual report that calls attention to North Korean attempts to skirt the sanctions.

 

The panelโ€™s previous reports have found that North Korea violated sanctions in its exports of coal, imports of refined petroleum and assistance to Syria, a nation suspected of chemical weapons use.

 

From January to November 2018, more than 15 Chinese fishing ships operating in the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea and elsewhere were confirmed to possess North Korean fishing licenses, according to information in the forthcoming report provided by two U.N. member states.
