- Announced the new iPad
- Sold a bunch of them
- Announced a dividend (for the first time since 1995) and a stock buyback.
For those who care about such things, the (annualized) Sharpe ratio of an investment in Apple over this period is very close to 9(!)
What to make of this? Apparently the process of gigantic mutual funds loading up on AAPL is continuing, and its speed depends in part on the decision-making speed of the appropriate committee, and partly by the reluctance of said committees to move the market to much, so that the buy orders to their brokers are spread over weeks (of course, we all know that the market is efficient, trends do not exist, and you can only hurt yourself by acting quickly. Why, you might pull something...)
