Yeah, they call them freeways here, at least most do. Others might call them Interstates. Not all freeways are Interstates though. We do have the Ohio Turnpike toll road and do not call that a freeway for obvious reasons. Hey, I'm from California. That's what we call them out there. One thing we don't do in Ohio is put "the" in front of the name or number like out there. I find that most annoying. That happened after I moved east years ago.
What would that same truck in front of your car (twice) be telling you? Same thing, over and over again, morning, noon and nite? The The..?
That I've been fahrting on the Autobahn too long. ;)

Getting on the freeway on my way to work this morning, there was a truck in front of me. No big deal. Getting off the freeway coming home tonight, that very same truck was in front of me on the exit ramp ...
Dont you live in Ohio? Ohio has "freeways"?

LMAO! This happened to me on Christmas Day heading to my friends in NH for Christmas dinner. Same Maine black pickup truck going to @ 12:30 and from @8:30.
I know itâs the âmen in blackâ following me.
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 (âItâs optimistic todayâ) but Iâm gonna do it: I think thereâs the simplistic panic of âuh oh!!!â 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) isnât at issue, but thereâs a contractual snafu. And Apple has enough reserve capital and creative folks that it wonât fold, but will likely find a way around/through it. So, eventually, things will change for the positive.
Impressed me. Depends on how you want to frame it. The drop, to me, means that itâs temporarily much cheaper than it was recently - not 6 months ago.

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, whatâs yours is mine comrade. If you canât think for yourself steal what you can with all the money from theft build your utopia. Then itâs solar system domination!
Bwahahahaha!
