Because with the suddenly collapsing labor market, in which only Americans 55 and over can find jobs, expensive and superfluous Apple Watches should be a game-changer.

 

 

Well that explains the melt-up in the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq...

And using it while you're driving, and having to smoke, drink, brush your hair, put on makeup, and look in the mirror all at the same time?  We're amazing, us humans, eh?

Apple watch to normal watch is what Tesla is to a regular car. If you think people buy Tesla's to save money on gas, you're missing the point. It's a status symbol. Functionality is irrelevant.

Sending a heatbeat wirelessly? What a useless feature, you might think. Not if there's an agency trying to analyze suspect anxiety in order to determine intent, hostility and aggression. In addition to fingerprint-reading mobile tracking device in your pocket, you'll now have a lie and life-detector band on your wrist.

As I've said for 2+ years already.

DOW can go 30k, 50k, 100k in weeks if central command decides so.

 

They just tell NSA to override the HFT computers and mark up (or down) digits on computers.

 

It is that simple. Market is suspended until further order

Apple is rolling out the AppleWatch with incredible precision and thought. This is a new category. It is not just about a watch. This is the beginning of wearables by a company that understands what we wear is fashion.

Plus, the iPhones are rocking it, new laptops have people drooling for gold, and the software development and language tools keep pushing and pushing. Now with haptic touch on the best touchpads out there.... new interface possibilities open up.

Throw in DOW listing and world wide capital flows.... short Reggie and Apple at your own risk.

I am a fan of Apple (iPhone and MacBook Air), but even I have to admit they are sliding.  The iWatch will be a bust (who wants to charge a watch battery two or three times/day) and the new MacBook is smaller than the Air, but has a crappy battery life, one port for power & usb and reduced specs...not to mention an inflated price tag.

I think Apple's dominance is slipping and they are in desperate need of a new product category (that is not the watch).  JMO.

Ever think that maybe the reason for crappy battery life is those products have 'undocumented' features causing the crappy battery life in the first place?

I'd be scanning those things for low level rf emissions when they supposedly are in standby mode....

I have watches that are 80-100 years old and still run fine. Getting to be a problem finding a true watch maintenance person though, seems that position is now some teeny bopper at Wal Mart changing out a battery.

My father used a gold watch to get him out of war torn Europe and to make his savings transportable.  

Wonder if we will go back to the same?

This is tech for the 1%. The iWatch is groundbreaking in no way. Androidwear was there a long time ago. The iPhones are 2 years behind Samsung/LG/Google... hell even HTC. A gold Macbook? Apple once used to stand for taste, I guess they decided its not as profitable as crass. The new MacBook is basically an Apple Chromebook at 5 times the price. Dow listings are doubled edged swords, especially at record highs.

Why does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that bad employment numbers equals a possible delay in a raise of interest rates.....hence more money stays in the market and the buying proceeds....the market could care less bad numbers are good.....

"in which only Americans 55 and over can find jobs"

What the fuck? Are we to assume from this statement that everyone over 55 is conspiring against everyone under 55 and keeping them from gainful employment? Fuck you, Tyler Durden.
