About Joseph Carlson:

I am not a professional investor and have never claimed to be. I'm an amateur investor sharing my experience of what I've learned, where I have had success, and where I've had failures. I share my thoughts on investing and performance with transparency. My approach and goal to investing is to buy high-quality long-term investments in world-class businesses that I call "compounders". I view my investments as businesses, not as stocks. Before creating content on YouTube full time I worked as a senior-level programmer for 8 years. Over the years as a programmer, I compounded my knowledge of development. I take the same iterative learning approach to my study of investing. I study investing as a craft in the continual pursuit of being better. I will make mistakes in investment decisions from time to time. Results are not guaranteed. Please do not blindly follow me into any investments, and make sure your portfolio and investments are built around your specific income, risk tolerance, personality, and timeline, and overall circumstances.

Comparing apple to Costco is not fair to Costco. The ceo almost killed a guy who tried to change the $1.50 price of the hotdog at the food court. Apple is charging $800+ for the same phone. Costco has the integrity here and is kino

that guy blaming Tim Cook after buying at the top and dropping is hilarious LMAO

If any business was compared to Costco, it can literally only be a compliment

Apple iPhone saved my life too. This is why I love my iPhone. I was driving my Lambo and doing 150 mph and I hit a pot hole. My Lambo exploded into flames! My iPhone put out the fire, extracted me from the Lambo and called 911. This is why I love and support Apple.

Apple has redefined TECH. It's not about new bells and whistles (AI/gimmicks). It's Toyota's kaizen - incremental improvements that don't look revolutionary on the surface but when you are the bestselling device company (same for Toyota), you don't want to change interfaces and features radically.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market.

Everyone is missing what’s going on. Apple is innovating heavily in other areas, namely AR. Now is not the time for a revolution in phones, putting it on autopilot for a bit and doing steady realistic improvements is the lead up to the big innovations that are coming. This is not new. If you’ve watched apple for decades, this has happened before.

We shouldn’t be surprised that everyone outside of apple has no vision as to what’s coming.

Always great to receive a notification from you

I’m compiling and picking stocks that I’d love to hold on to for a few years before retirement, do you think these stocks would do better over the years? I’d love to retire with at least $2million savings. Now you gotta rely on a pretty good diversification if you must stay green. Currently up 21% and being cautious. Still better deal than letting it sit in savings or checking earning near 5% interest.

if tim cook says good moarrning, the stock will go to $200

Someone bought at the top and blamed the CEO for their own money failures? LOL - Merica!

[gammafighter]

Crypto Twitter: Apple is like Costco now!
Joseph: So it's even better than before?

[warbearin]

Ive been saying Apple is not innovating for a long time.

[taylorbarnard]

As long as apple keeps making great products and finds innovative ways to increase profit I’ll be holding!

Iphone 15 is worse than Samsung s20 that came out 3 years ago. Except S20 has 120 hz screen 😂

The people complaining that Apple lost its magic are still most like to replace their current Iphone with another one!

[joaquimcevallosmorales]

The only caveat to WBs words is that he could never sell out of Apple, even if he wanted. The tsunami that would follow a sell would be astronomical

Such a huge position is a risk on its own.

I just wish Apple would stop milking the storage capacities. 256G on a pro max who spends $1000+ on $20 storage. No color changes for ultra watch 2 was super lame! However, 3nm processor is absolutely amazing!!

I was so excited about the “new” double tap feature until someone on Twitter pointed out that the feature already existed & I grabbed my girlfriend's watch & sure enough the feature was available on her old watch. It does exactly what they showed in the keynote 😅

Excellent video, as always. It’s interesting how people expect Apple to create this amazing wow factor every year. That HUAWEI P60 pro phone costs as much as $1, 399, that Samsung flip phones have lackluster sales, and don’t mention headsets currently on the market.

So I’ll take some titanium, a better camera and $100 price increase any day.
