You might not think a stock outperforming the market and considered to have good future prospects would pose a problem for investors, but Reuters reports that it can prove challenging for fund managers. The issue is that most diversified funds have rules or guidelines that state they shouldn’t hold more than 5-10% of their funds in any one stock. This, fund managers say, can pose three problems. First, there’s the obvious one: they may want to buy more of it than their own rules allow … John Burnham, manager of the $136 million Burnham Fund, says that he has already stretched a point in allowing AAPL to make up more than 15% of the fund, but would ideally like to buy more....

Continuing its week of record-setting performance, AAPL stock hit yet another pair of all-time highs today. The stock closed at a new record high of $136.70, up from the previous all-time close record of $135.27 that was set last week. Furthermore, AAPL hit a new intraday high of $136.75 today, up from the previous record of $136.27, which was set last week. AAPL’s continued strong performance comes as Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty raised her target price for the stock and made a handful of predictions for the upcoming iPhone 8…...

Developer David Barnard – whose apps have grossed millions of dollars and been featured multiple times by Apple – has written a blog post calling on Apple to take tougher action against rogue developers who game the App Store. He describes ten methods they use to give their apps an unfair advantage in either visibility or making money from in-app purchases. Some are simple and well-known, like buying fake reviews, while others are more devious – like the ones described below …...

In a note he (I think erroneously) calls ‘Amateurs vs. Professionals’, PED points out just how much more accurate individual investor bloggers were at predicting Apple’s fortunes than were those professional analysts from analysis firms.Perhaps that’s because in the case of bloggers, their fortunes are directly related to being right, while analysts will still get paid even if they’re wrong. In any case, if you are an AAPL investor, it might make sense to take a look at what the ‘Amateurs’ have to say....

Netflix has revealed that Adam Sandler will co-star with Chris Rock in The Week Of, the fourth comedy vehicle to come from his Netflix contract. The news hits on the heels of the announcement that Sandler’s Netflix deal was extended to another four films, though the first three were all critically derided, but found an audience. Of the three movies he’s rolled out since 2015, the recently unveiled Sandy Wexler has earned the highest reviews, and that’s with a lowly 31 percent on Rotten Tomatoes....

Adobe calls Creative Cloud Express a “unified task-based, web and mobile product” that was designed to help users “create and share beautiful rich multimedia content – from social media posts and stories to invitations to marketing materials like logos, flyers and banners.” Its drag-and-drop interface draws from “thousands of high-quality templates, 20,000 premium Adobe fonts and 175 million licensed Adobe Stock images.” Once loaded, these assets can be manipulated via Adobe’s Sensei artificial intelligence and machine learning platform, which powers several recently-introduced features in its Photoshop, Premier, and other software titles....

Further, data compiled by Bloomberg shows that this is the first time since December 3rd that Apple has held the title of world’s most valuable company at the close of trading. It did briefly regain the title during intraday trading several times. Apple’s stock fell sharply after it revised its holiday earnings to account for slow iPhone upgrades in certain markets. Since then, however, AAPL has moved back to the top....

While Pixar has historically dominated the Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, this film studio isn’t the only one bringing home Oscars. In fact, since the category’s creation in 2001, eight pictures from other studios including DreamWorks Animation, Studio Ghibli, Aardman, Nickelodeon, Sony, and Walt Disney Animation Studios have brought home the award Best Animated Feature Award, and this could happen again soon. While the 2020 Best Animated Feature nominees include Pixar’s Toy Story 4, the lineup also features How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, I Lost My Body, Klaus, and Missing Link....

Stuntmen and women are absolutely essential to the movie industry, filling in when required to make sure the physical parts of movies look as realistic as possible. Doing so to prevent injuries to the blockbuster stars that are in the films as well. While some of Hollywood’s elite are more than happy for their stunt double to step in whenever needed, that isn’t the case for everybody. Many actors actually like to get involved and do it all!...

Using A.L.A.R.M. First download A.L.A.R.M. It’s a small utility — less than 1MB — and installation is easy. I recommend keeping all components checked during the install. After running it, you’ll have to find it in the system tray and left click it to open properties. Don’t right click, as that will close it. The interface is as simple as it can be. You can choose your own sound or leave the default one (which is pretty annoying on its own)....

A day after Apple’s iPad Pro and MacBook Air event, and one day ahead of AAPL earnings for fiscal Q4, both investors and analysts seem pretty optimistic … I noted earlier that the new MacBook Air should help further boost Apple’s average selling price for the Mac lineup, with the new iPad Pro models doing the same there. It seems investors have taken the same message from the event: at the time of writing, AAPL stock is up more than 2....
