| Apple revises Q1 Guidance, sighting lower iPhone sales. Trading is currently halted. Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:45 PM PST Tim Cook just posted the following message to shareholders: January 2, 2019 To Apple investors: Today we are revising our guidance for Apple's fiscal 2019 first quarter, which ended on December 29. We now expect the following: Revenue of approximately $84 billion Gross margin of approximately 38 percent Operating expenses of approximately $8.7 billion Other income/(expense) of approximately $550 million Tax rate of approximately 16.5 percent before discrete items We expect the number of shares used in computing diluted EPS to be approximately 4.77 billion. Based on these estimates, our revenue will be lower than our original guidance for the quarter, with other items remaining broadly in line with our guidance. While it will be a number of weeks before we complete and report our final results, we wanted to get some preliminary information to you now. Our final results may differ somewhat from these preliminary estimates. When we discussed our Q1 guidance with you about 60 days ago, we knew the first quarter would be impacted by both macroeconomic and Apple-specific factors. Based on our best estimates of how these would play out, we predicted that we would report slight revenue growth year-over-year for the quarter. As you may recall, we discussed four factors: First, we knew the different timing of our iPhone launches would affect our year-over-year compares. Our top models, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, shipped in Q4'18—placing the channel fill and early sales in that quarter, whereas last year iPhone X shipped in Q1'18, placing the channel fill and early sales in the December quarter. We knew this would create a difficult compare for Q1'19, and this played out broadly in line with our expectations. Second, we knew the strong US dollar would create foreign exchange headwinds and forecasted this would reduce our revenue growth by about 200 basis points as compared to the previous year. This also played out broadly in line with our expectations. Third, we knew we had an unprecedented number of new products to ramp during the quarter and predicted that supply constraints would gate our sales of certain products during Q1. Again, this also played out broadly in line with our expectations. Sales of Apple Watch Series 4 and iPad Pro were constrained much or all of the quarter. AirPods and MacBook Air were also constrained. Fourth, we expected economic weakness in some emerging markets. This turned out to have a significantly greater impact than we had projected. In addition, these and other factors resulted in fewer iPhone upgrades than we had anticipated. These last two points have led us to reduce our revenue guidance. I'd like to go a bit deeper on both. Emerging Market Challenges While we anticipated some challenges in key emerging markets, we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in Greater China. In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad. China's economy began to slow in the second half of 2018. The government-reported GDP growth during the September quarter was the second lowest in the last 25 years. We believe the economic environment in China has been further impacted by rising trade tensions with the United States. As the climate of mounting uncertainty weighed on financial markets, the effects appeared to reach consumers as well, with traffic to our retail stores and our channel partners in China declining as the quarter progressed. And market data has shown that the contraction in Greater China's smartphone market has been particularly sharp. Despite these challenges, we believe that our business in China has a bright future. The iOS developer community in China is among the most innovative, creative and vibrant in the world. Our products enjoy a strong following among customers, with a very high level of engagement and satisfaction. Our results in China include a new record for Services revenue, and our installed base of devices grew over the last year. We are proud to participate in the Chinese marketplace. iPhone Lower than anticipated iPhone revenue, primarily in Greater China, accounts for all of our revenue shortfall to our guidance and for much more than our entire year-over-year revenue decline. In fact, categories outside of iPhone (Services, Mac, iPad, Wearables/Home/Accessories) combined to grow almost 19 percent year-over-year. While Greater China and other emerging markets accounted for the vast majority of the year-over-year iPhone revenue decline, in some developed markets, iPhone upgrades also were not as strong as we thought they would be. While macroeconomic challenges in some markets were a key contributor to this trend, we believe there are other factors broadly impacting our iPhone performance, including consumers adapting to a world with fewer carrier subsidies, US dollar strength-related price increases, and some customers taking advantage of significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements. Many Positive Results in the December Quarter While it's disappointing to revise our guidance, our performance in many areas showed remarkable strength in spite of these challenges. Our installed base of active devices hit a new all-time high—growing by more than 100 million units in 12 months. There are more Apple devices being used than ever before, and it's a testament to the ongoing loyalty, satisfaction and engagement of our customers. Also, as I mentioned earlier, revenue outside of our iPhone business grew by almost 19 percent year-over-year, including all-time record revenue from Services, Wearables and Mac. Our non-iPhone businesses have less exposure to emerging markets, and the vast majority of Services revenue is related to the size of the installed base, not current period sales. Services generated over $10.8 billion in revenue during the quarter, growing to a new quarterly record in every geographic segment, and we are on track to achieve our goal of doubling the size of this business from 2016 to 2020. Wearables grew by almost 50 percent year-over-year, as Apple Watch and AirPods were wildly popular among holiday shoppers; launches of MacBook Air and Mac mini powered the Mac to year-over-year revenue growth and the launch of the new iPad Pro drove iPad to year-over-year double-digit revenue growth. We also expect to set all-time revenue records in several developed countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Korea. And, while we saw challenges in some emerging markets, others set records, including Mexico, Poland, Malaysia and Vietnam. Finally, we also expect to report a new all-time record for Apple's earnings per share. Looking Ahead Our profitability and cash flow generation are strong, and we expect to exit the quarter with approximately $130 billion in net cash. As we have stated before, we plan to become net-cash neutral over time. As we exit a challenging quarter, we are as confident as ever in the fundamental strength of our business. We manage Apple for the long term, and Apple has always used periods of adversity to re-examine our approach, to take advantage of our culture of flexibility, adaptability and creativity, and to emerge better as a result. Most importantly, we are confident and excited about our pipeline of future products and services. Apple innovates like no other company on earth, and we are not taking our foot off the gas. We can't change macroeconomic conditions, but we are undertaking and accelerating other initiatives to improve our results. One such initiative is making it simple to trade in a phone in our stores, finance the purchase over time, and get help transferring data from the current to the new phone. This is not only great for the environment, it is great for the customer, as their existing phone acts as a subsidy for their new phone, and it is great for developers, as it can help grow our installed base. This is one of a number of steps we are taking to respond. We can make these adjustments because Apple's strength is in our resilience, the talent and creativity of our team, and the deeply held passion for the work we do every day. Expectations are high for Apple because they should be. We are committed to exceeding those expectations every day. That has always been the Apple way, and it always will be. Tim [link] [comments]  |
| Do you think NVDA will drop to 120? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:28 AM PST Hey. Been wanting to invest in NVDA since the drop. I decided to set 120 as my threshold to invest. Not sure if that was wise, but it seems reasonable. Do you think it will drop to 120, or has it reached bottom? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. [link] [comments]  |
| Investing in stocks with little money Posted: 02 Jan 2019 05:35 AM PST Hi! I'm planning to invest into some companies on the stock market with a little money, little by little (10-20 usd / month). I'm familiar about how the stock market works and I read that it is pretty hard to speculate with little money. I plan to invest in long term, so I don't want to speculate. My question is that, does it worth to invest with little money each month, considering the trading fees and the minimum activity on online markets? I mean, if there is a fee for every trade (let's say 5 usd), ofcourse it doesn't worth investing 10, because of the risk. So, are there online brokers that can be used for this kind of investment? If no, I am interested in investing in certain indexes, too, so it might satisfy my needs. I am from the EU, btw. Do you know any exchanges where I can invest with a small amount of money each month in companies (10+ to diversifie) or in indexes (3-4)? Sorry if this question is too "noob" here. :) Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Good time to buy $UUUU? Why did WUC.CN rise so much today? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 11:23 AM PST UUUU is down but WUC.CN is up. Any thoughts why? Not knowing much be see other people like UUUU. I would invest in WUC.CN and maybe still will but just rose so much today. [link] [comments]  |
| Should I get an MBA if I want to become a professional trader? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:24 PM PST So I have always loved to learn about the stock market. I currently have my bachelor's in Economics and have been working in retail banking for the past 6 years. My goal in life is to strive to be the next Warren Buffet. I personally believe that I should go get my masters so that I may learn more about the market since there is so much to know in general. However, everyone, I ask always tells me to forget about getting your masters and teach yourself. Can I really teach myself everything there is to know about the market or would it benefit me to learn from certified professors who have experience? Need some help here since I am at a point in my life where I need to make a decision which will affect me for the rest of my life. Thank you and Happy New Year! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:09 PM PST I just finished reading "One up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, which was actually a really informative book. I have yet to read "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever need." I'm looking for more. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! P.S. I'm an amateur investor so I'm not looking for anything too complicated! [link] [comments]  |
| How is it that you can revise your earnigs estimates after the quarter ended? (AAPL) Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:58 PM PST So I get that it takes a while to gather all the information needed to report everything after a quarter ends (but quicker given modern technology)... So how is it that Apple can just revise their estimates 4 days after their quarter ends? Doesn't it potentially allow them to have an idea of their numbers, low-ball their estimate, have wall street revise to the numbers they cut to, then beat their estimates and have a rise in share price upon earnings report, but risk a short term massive drop down (which it seems like they're experiencing), but seeing as how they're able to buy back shares with their existing stockpile of cash and artificially create a rally, kind of negates that. I know it sounds dumb, and seems like it's hurting them more than benefiting, but my main question is how are they able to do that? [link] [comments]  |
| AAPL Stock Halted. This is not a drill. Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:45 PM PST AAPL is about to get slammed hard. It's also the kinda company that can sink an entire market. THE HITS KEEP COMING. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/02/apple-warns-on-q1-results.html EDIT: AAPL unhalted down 7.5% AH. This will be that straw that finally sent this market into the dumps.

| Does 90 day PDT restriction apply to the brokerage account, or the individual? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:12 PM PST During market lows on 12/24, my portfolio closed below 25k. I bought into a intraday position, but only got a warning of "possible 90 day restriction" when I wanted to sell out of that position. I entered the trade on an intraday strategy, with no intention of swinging and had to sell. Afterwards, I deposited money to close my account back over 25k for the day. Unfortunately after executing my sell, I found that FINRA's PDT rules say once a trade is made after the PDT limit, your account will be barred from entering new positions for 90 days, regardless of it being back over 25k. Will I be able to day trade again if I move more than 25k to a new brokerage account? TLDR: If you get a 90 day PDT restriction on entering new positions in your current broker, can you start fresh with no restrictions by moving 25k+ to a new broker? [link] [comments]  |
| Vanguard - All Cap Global fund Equivalent? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:10 PM PST What's an equivalent to vanguard.co.uk's global all cap fund? I need a representation that will show up on my iPhone using the stocks app by Yahoo but they don't have that one? [link] [comments]  |
| Question about DVMT/DELL share conversion Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:00 PM PST So I purchased 27 shares of DVMT at $105.70. Dell went public a month or so later at an agreed upon price of $120 per share in cash or newly minted DELL stock. The 48 new shares post to my brokerage account on 12/28 as DELL trading at $48.87. My question is, how did I lose money on the exchange? At a minimum I should have broken even? [link] [comments]  |
| Successful stock traders : how do you learn ? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 07:25 PM PST I ask because I've been reading a few books trying to learn about trading in the stock market but things I read will contradict things from other books and it becomes a little stressful. For example, I've been reading a book about chart analysis that seems to be interesting, yet many people seem to have a negative opinion on it. So as I'm reading I feel like I'm wasting my time. I've also been learning about options, but then again I hear them being compared to gambling. I've been investing a little money to try to learn but I've lost more than I've made, and to tell you the truth I don't know 100% why i made money when i did or why i lost money when i did. Which is bad... So how do you recommend I learn how to make money investing. (Or is it something only achievable by the lucky and/or rich) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 12:20 PM PST Hello. Sorry if this is not a good place to post this question, but I was given stocks years ago for being a customer for a Life Insurance company. I have the Certificate Number and Shareholder Account number for these stocks, but I don't know how to actually go about selling them at all. I tried searching online but almost everything is about how to buy, or when to sell, not how to sell what you actually already have. Any points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 12:12 PM PST I think I read that its target price is $7, and it's currently $8. Should I sell it? [link] [comments]  |
| Now a good time to buy inverse etfs? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 11:29 AM PST With how volatile the market is right now, would this be a good time to be buying inverse ETFs? With how low the prices are for most of them right now, I think now is the time to buy. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:59 AM PST Hey guys, Randgold (GOLD) recent merged with Barrick (ABX). The new group is trading under NYSE:GOLD. Pretty cool, right? I thought so too, but I had the ADS shares, and today they're showing up in my Vanguard account as 50 shares of the new $13 combined entity. So it looks like I only have about a fifth of what I did before. Am I freaking out over nothing, or did I just lose a bunch of money. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:44 AM PST Hi I am wondering if I want to exercise an option early to capture a dividend, the ex-dividend date is 1/9/2019. When would I need to exercise the option by? 3 business days in advance so the shares settle or is it different with options? this is regarding $T (AT&T) I am thinking 1/4/2019? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:31 AM PST Any specific reason why the financial services stocks are up big today? All the banks (JPM, GS, BAC, C, WFC) are performing well today along with Visa and Mastercard. I can't seem to find any info as to why they're performing well today. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about SMKC not showing any new data/ prices Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:27 AM PST Hello, I was bored in July and purchased a replacement part for a piece from Smoke Cartel. I enjoyed my experience with their website and decided to buy some of their stock as I was bored and looking for a small investment opportunity to expand my portfolio into the cannabis industry. My question is why when I look them up now do I not see anything in the charts? It has been at the same price for days and I cannot find any news as to why it is not moving (probably would be down anyway haha) Is this something that happens or has the stock been de-listed? I honestly do not know enough about how stocks work to understand why its price seems to have been frozen. It seems to have moved Dec 31st but I swear I was looking at the charts that day and did not even see them update. The most recent news I can find is that they recently appointed a new transfer agent/ registrar but I do not understand what that means Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:02 PM PST AAPL stocks fell by 9% over a few minutes after Apple reported disappointing numbers. (source) Is this the time that the big online companies collapse on the markets? Apple (and virtually all smartphone/tablet producers) haven't been truly innovating for years. Are you holding on to Apple (and similar) stocks? [link] [comments]  |
| Why would my Merrill broker put the bulk of my IRA in GENIX Posted: 02 Jan 2019 09:41 AM PST It seems like a dog and has been in my portfolio for all of 2018. Is there a reason that I am missing? I pay them to manage the IRA. Seems like I would be better off with a Vanguard 500 and keeping the management fees this guy charges. [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts on ARMH with RISC-V gaining steam? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 04:57 AM PST The energy around RISC-V seems to be growing and growing quickly. The recent summit was packed. Then we have MIPS open sourcing their ISA and we have SPARC ISA open sourced. But the one that really has to be a concern is the RISC-V ISA. What do people think about the future of ARMH?
