I think Twitter is a dead company. It’s not growing and not paying a dividend. It had no future in terms of upside.
Apple has been riding out Steve Jobs legacy for a decade and I think that’s coming to an end. I just replaced my nearly 5 year old iPhone 7 with a left over XR that was the same price as a SE with bigger screen. I’m not paying $1000 or more for a phone.
Same with their new Arm based macs. I understand wanting to unify everything under iOS basically, but with online build services I don’t have to have a Mac around for compiling apps for the day job. I’ve used Macs for the past 20 years as I worked around Unix. And for most of that time things stayed out of my way and let me get things done. I switched my father over 10 years ago and visits with him went from me spending 4 hours donating and reinstalling windows every time I visited to half an hour once a year to install the latest OS update and TurboTax.
But I see very little reason to replace my nearly 10 year old MBP with another Mac. At least before I could also run Windows 10 as well on one machine. Plus the build quality isn’t what it used to be.
Not sure if this is just dumping of an overvalued stock, or a sign that something will change at those two companies.
