New devices are so expensive? Umm, no! Bought a desktop in college for more than my first car, 1995.
$4,000 for the used car and $4800 for the lowest end desktop the school told me I had to buy. Devices have gotten more powerful and a lot cheaper. Accounting for inflation, these devices are even cheaper than the simple math for comparing a $4800 laptop to the lowest end Mac book.
Idk man.. Apple announced back in June the integration of Chat GPT and have now implemented Chat GPT on their Iphones 2 days ago + MAC OS.. So not sure why you think there has not been any catalyst for their increase in stock price. Seems pretty obvious with just one google search.
They make their profit and high margins because they sell closed systems.
This is also how they finance their development.
There is no profit making their chips available to run operating systems they don’t control.
By the way. You can get Apple hardware in the cloud.

I'm constantly thinking about this: Shouldn't apple develop a server, which will be crazy efficient thanks to Apple Silicon, to replace some Linux servers. It's all Unix, so most things exist for Mac as well. That would open a new world to them.
Dont listen to what people say on social media. Always gotta do your research and its also about timing. There is alot of influencers that tell people a stock is gonna go up so they can sell soon as it does go up because they got into the stock earlier. Kinda like all the AMC influencers saying it was gonna go up to over a hundred per share...hell some people were even saying 1,000 a share. They want us to buy and hold hoping for that massive payday that never comes. Meanwhile the influencer is taking his profits in.
You forgot the part about where the next administration wants to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac again (they were taken under the government’s wing post-2008).
Oh but it gets better. Fannie and Freddie won’t need to cover any bad loans, the government will still do that. Oh yeah, and for this privilege, the mortgagees will have to pay an insurance premium to the government, estimated between $1800 and $2800 per year.
*What could possibly go wrong???*
They call that a Royale with cheese in France. Le Big Mac. But if you go to Amsterdam, you know what they put on french fries there? Mayonaise. I've seen 'em do it man, they fucking drown it in that shit.
