So if the Chinese really block future sales of the iPhone, and China is 20% of the device revenue, and the iPhone makes up half of Apple sales, then in theory the drops could continue.... until the stock is off about 10%?

But...  why would anyone think China stopping iPhone sales is a temporary thing?


I dislike that people anthropomorphize the stock market (“It’s optimistic today”) but I’m gonna do it: I think there’s the simplistic panic of “uh oh!!!” And the sell-off. Then, seeing the price drop a little, folks start to buy and then the price recovers a bit. They probably recognize that the primary product(s) isn’t at issue, but there’s a contractual snafu. And Apple has enough reserve capital and creative folks that it won’t fold, but will likely find a way around/through it. So, eventually, things will change for the positive.

5.7% drop - not 10%, so not literally "decimated".  I'm just being a word nerd though.

At today's close, the stock is up 2% for the past 30 days, 20% for the last 6 months, and 46% YTD. 

"Decimated" and "on sale" might be slight exaggerations.

You ever wonder how China got so strong so fast? Theft of information, theft of intellectual property, theft of everything, because communism, what’s yours is mine comrade. If you can’t think for yourself steal what you can with all the money from theft build your utopia. Then it’s solar system domination!

Decimated their stock price today. If anyone was considering some for a 401k or whatever, it’s on sale.


No thanks, but I'm considering a brown leather belt, if it's on sale.

Apparently they're telling some government officials to stop using foreign-branded devices for work - not just Apple devices.  Tit-for-tat response to Huawei and Tik-Tok bans I guess.

China Decides iPhones Pose a National Security Risk
Employees at some Chinese ministries must stop using iPhones before the end of September.

You know what that means, they are about to activate their hidden chips and software apron the world.

They talk about changing up the smells pretty frequently.
Also, since there's no "you" that's not doing the diffuser, maybe it's preventing? Hard to know.

Overnight olfactory enrichment using an odorant diffuser improves memory and modifies the uncinate fasciculus in older adults



FTA:

Results: A statistically significant 226% improvement was observed in the enriched group compared to the control group on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test and improved functioning was observed in the left uncinate fasciculus, as assessed by mean diffusivity.

Conclusion: Minimal olfactory enrichment administered at night produces improvements in both cognitive and neural functioning. Thus, olfactory enrichment may provide an effective and low-effort pathway to improved brain health.

—-
When a fragrance wafted through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, memories skyrocketed. In fact, participants in this study by neuroscientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), reaped a 226% increase in cognitive capacity compared to the control group. The researchers say the finding transforms the long-known tie between smell and memory into an easy, non-invasive technique for strengthening memory and potentially deterring dementia.
