    CNBC, Fox, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, WSJ. NYTimes,WaPo, etc, all reported on it

    https://www.t3.com/live/news/wwdc-2025-apple-ios-26-news-live

    still trying to cope with Trump 2.0's tariff folly at AAPL's expense, Apple's June 9 hosting of WWDC 2025
    was a biggie, w every major OS getting an update

    also, rumors abound that Apple is considering a strategic partnership with AI startup Perplexity;
    the move aims to enhance Apple's AI capabilities and could impact the tech giant's strategy moving forward


    Technically,
    • AAPL has retraced 36% of the 80-point drop from the Dec 2024 high of 259
    • it has been forming an ascending triangle pattern---consolidating---ready for lift off
    • the next earnings will be 30 July 2025
    • currently trading ~~ 203, my target is 50% retracement, to be above 215, by mid-Aug

    constructed this 30-point bullish PUT spread, Aug expiration, betting that AAPL will be trading above 215

    • buy to open the 185 strike PUT contract
    • sell to open the 215 strike PUT contract
    • collected a premium in advance, $12.60
    i am willing to assume the max potential risk of $18.40 to win the $12.60

    so you, too, get a bite of the Apple


    btw, technically, xlk looks good, rising on the coattails of AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, NVDA, MSFT, etc​

    Don't know man..

    AAPL didn't reveal sh** during WWDC.
    They showed Windows Vista.

    They better have some major updates for the next iPhone.

    AAPL at $199 today.

    MSFT's current up trend is too STRONG---defying general accepted trading logics---even after the huge gap-up and Ex-Div
    next earnings for MSFT will be 7-29-25; constructed this 30-point bullish CALL spread, using Sep expiration

    • buy to open the 475 strike CALL contract
    • sell to open the 505 strike CALL contract
    • net cost of $12.75

    I invested $1850 in Microsoft in the year 2000. Basically forgot about it. Now, it's worth $22k.

    Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there. You all stay in school you hear?!

    Mmm...these are some good Kroger tortilla chips.

    and if you change the time frame to 2 year, use the weekly view.
    you get a Cup-With-Handle formation, arguably, the most bullish technical indicator.

    the weekly chart shows a completed handle to the coffee cup, with no overhead resistance at all.

    it took
    • 10-months to form the base of the coffee cup, then
    • another month to form the handle on declining volume, leading to a new high
    reaching a new high, in over a year, attracts many new motivated buyers,
    where animal spirits take over; closing the gap, post X-Div, etc. be damn!​

    do you know that you can rent out your MSFT and collect rent on it?

    MSFT has been my core holding for a while; each month i rent it out, via a covered CALL strategy, https://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/08/covered-call.asp
