INDEX days.. new highs in NDX/COMPQ yesterday .. today INDU / SPX / RUT.. TRANsports still lags.. NDX lower lows than yesterday… fwiw

[JFR]

AAPL ... beautiful company. Beautiful products. Had my share of them from the Classic through the Quadra, iMac bondi blue, G5, cell phone, iPad, et cetera.

Thought the company might miss the leadership and vision of Steve Jobs. Not so far ...

Ellipses suggest a biggish move - but so far Yellen has not managed to say anything which sways the market. At the moment she's talking, later on she'll be answering questions. Perhaps one of the questions resp her answer will trigger a move

SPY 0.41 away from the spike highs..

[JFR]

Still hitting the fundamentals also.

Nothing beautiful about the shameful way they treat their workers.
Perhaps you have missed the documentaries on the brutal abuse of workers in China.

Yeah, I missed that one.

Save the world from commerce.

Do not invest in oil companies. Shoe manufacturers. Tobacco companies. Alcohol companies. On and on and on ... And forget about progress through work.

Back to stock market talk.

... the documentaries on ...

Much of the criticism of those documentaries seems valid.

Apple seems to attract agenda driven storylines with attack styled messaging designed to attract viewer eyeballs (and advertiser ratings) with often false 'news'. Downplay the positive and accentuate the negative is the playbook.

Apple themselves know there is a real tension in the issue and have publicly said as much. Compare the stance of Apple with its competitors using the very same or similar assembly facilities in China. The other guys prefer to stay quiet, hiding in the shadow of Apple as it faces the bulk of the news media onslaught.

Lol, you serious? Don't waste time on this topic, globalization and consumerism has its "collateral damage" and this is one of those. Also, fallacious argument when almost all large corps utilize these cost saving techniques whether it's ethical or not, doesn't matter from a shareholder standpoint. Let's be real.

Apple stories get hits. It's that simple. It's not "their" workers. It's the companies they hire to build their shit. These exact same companies build shit for HP, Dell, et al….. just those stories don't get the eyeballs. "The shitty way HP treats its workers" see that story? Nope. Same companies, like FoxConn build their shit too. No one seems to care about the poor workers in CHina when it's HP et al.

Boom.

Here's a story awhile back where a guy in China doing forced labor making Sak's 5th Ave shopping bags put a plea for help into the bags he was making:

Yep, I saw this on twitter— Accompanied by the words "If" ""may" and "watching". Don't seem to see those words appear in this after-the-fact chest-beating post. Hmmmm…...
