Clearing Out The In-Box -- Friday Before Thanksgiving Week -- Friday, November 19, 2021

Let's start with Apple. A lot of Apple news.

  • first a movie, A Dozen Eggs, entire movie shot on the new iPhone 13. Link here.
  • AAPL sets new all-time high: link here. By the way, this was the lead story on Squawk Box, CNBC this morning -- generally CNBC doesn't spend much time on Apple, Inc., for obvious reasons, but I guess the network couldn't ignore this story;
  • Apple, Inc., working toward fully autonomous car: no steering wheel or pedals; to launch in 2025; link here; but the real news: the car is going to be really, really thin.
  • Apple: researching an all-glass iPhone and Apple Watch; link here;
  • Apple-designed 5G modem to be separate from A-series chip; link here; as noted previously, AAPL is gradually morphing into a chip company;
  • AAPL: favorite FAANG stock for Wedbush; link here. By the way ... see below....

Why I love to blog: I posted this story before Barron's posted it. Barron's: Ford dropped a bombshell on chips. GlobalFoundries stock is taking off. I mentioned it before the close of yesterday's trading. Hopefully you all took note. LOL. Link here.

The 4% retirement rule: nothing bores me more than "the 4% retirement story," and I would not have posted it except for the fact it was in The WSJ.

Divorce: The Netherlands story. Fascinating A quick read. Link here to Bloomberg via Yahoo!Finance.

FAANG: will soon be changed to FAANNGRZ --

  • Facebook
  • Amazon
  • Apple
  • Netflix
  • Nvidia
  • Google
  • Rivian
  • Zscaler (wiki entry)

Sweetgreen: my hunch -- this won't be "a thing" a year from now.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: needs to get a life. He was all excited about Sweetgreen because you could order your salad with or without dressing on the side. Who knew? Apparently, with the Sweetgreen app one can order a salad and request the dressing be "on the side." Which reminds me, why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. LOL. 

And, oh, by the way, chicken has more tryptophan than turkey. Per ounce, not per serving.

  1. Sorkin sucks. He is always on the wong side
    of an issue. For a college grad, he is really
    a dumb dumb.

    1. His picture shows up often in the dictionary alongside such words as doofus; idiot; shallow; clueless, banal; boorish; infantile.
