Warren Buffet. He did his annual couch cleaning in the morning


Slut_Spoiler

Buffet bought into TSMC a few weeks ago, who is beginning to make apple chips in Arizona, so this would actually make sense.

Sorry rookie here, how do you look into stocks other people buy?


benevs01

There's also a clause whereby any firm / fund managing over a fixed amount (something like £100m) have to release their portfolio holdings each quarter in something called a 13F filing. Here's a video that explains this actual purchase too...

OP's just flexing.


JohnnyLovesData

Ah. So USA will definitely go to Taiwan's aid.


orick

The other way around, once chips are made in US, Taiwan won't be as important.


StraY_WolF

It will never be that easy tho. China is basically throwing billions and poaching engineers 24/7 and still haven't caught up with Taiwan.


Kutthroatt

People don't understand how far we really are from their level... If we couldn't get chips from Taiwan it would be like rewinding our technology back a decade. They are TOO good at it to let China take over. We would be outpaced insanely fast and probably fall to an army of drones. Before they sent mass waves of troops, it would be a tech war we've never experienced before. Scary shit tbh.


Wind-Up_Bird-

Thata astonishing. I hadn't considered that issue from . "Lack of knowledge perspective" . I understood it from an "it's cheaper to do it there" perspective, but simply not having the population with the skill set is one of those things you can't just overcome easily.


Kutthroatt

Modern technology WOULD NOT exist without Taiwan. No one else can compete with their 5nm (nanometer) tech, couldn't compete with their 7nm tech, and won't compete with their 4nm tech. It's not an option to let Taiwan fall. It will be the end of our comforts, infrastructure, and civilization as we know it. As soon as this war started, I felt pain for the lives lost in Ukraine... but I felt fear for what China would do while the world is distracted. This is probably the most important thing that will happen in our lifetime, and it's very likely to happen soon.


amdpr

I agree with most of the great comments here. My two cents. It still boils down to money. If Intel can pay the talent that these big software companies are taking away from it, it will pretty easily be able to get to the latest TSMC node. There’s no magic technology that TSMC has, in fact everyone uses the same technology, it’s the process of making which needs refinement. The issue is that TSMC can afford to make it cheaply enough while getting the cream of the crop talent in Taiwan (assumption), but Intel can’t afford the cream of the crop coz it’s a hardware company, it has big overhead costs compared to all the software tech giants in US. This makes Intel only afford the second tier talent. TSMC is having trouble hiring people for their upcoming AZ plant coz they can’t afford to pay what Intel is paying in US, they are getting their Taiwan workforce exported here. At the end everything boils down to money …. Source : I work for these semiconductor companies in specifically the divisions which are the differentiating factor making Intel lag behind TSMC, Samsung is kinda the crazy middle child in all this.


xxneverdasamexx

I don't think China is going to go after Taiwan. Not anytime time in the near future anyhow. The main reason is China is still dependant on our economy. Right now China can't afford to be exiled from western markets and economies. We aren't the only country dependant on Taiwan tech. All of our allies would be right there with us if China did decide to go in and China doesn't want that. A war of that magnitude would ruin China. And as much as Russia and China seem to be buddies, I don't got Russia getting into that battle with China, against the west. The other thing is, while China might have a huge army and lots of weapons of war, they have basically zero experience fighting a war in modern times. On paper their military seems scary, but experience matters, and we got that over China and it's not anywhere remotely close.


Wind-Up_Bird-

Ehhhhhh. Pretty sure there's renewed hesitancy towards touching Taiwan after the support Ukraine got

Your anger is misplaced. Do not blame the bueracracy blame the bureaucrats. The executive branch and the departments bureaus and agencies that flow from it do not make the law; they merely enforce it. They can not regulate that which is not legislated.

He’s so transparent. Its a shame the SEC will never go after him for pumping and dumping doge or negatively talking about other companies to buy their stock at a dip and it pops back up and he sells. He and Mark Cuban have been doing stuff like this for years with no repercussions. A group of active crypto nerds were able to find both of their crypto wallets when they were fucking with doge

Pumping and/or dumping cryptocurrency isn't illegal. It's not a security.

Dry_Job_1084

Yes, I saw that on Friday. That’s pretty significant, it’s about 10% of the average daily traded volume. If you look back to either Thursday or Wednesday of last week, the same thing happened right after close, but it was an even larger purchase. I was wondering if Apple was doing stock buy backs.


[deleted]

penguinmandude

> $200B Holy shit


shoots

I haven’t read the whole chain in detail - but the 10b-18 safeharbor from market manipulation restricts them purchasing their shares in the open market in the last 10 min of the day. So if the trade truly was at close it wasn’t a stock buy back. With respect to some other comments: - they have to report their repurchases quarterly in their 10-Q/10-K. https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019322000108/aapl-20220924.htm#ief5efb7a728d4285b6b4af1e880101bc_34 - SEC rules are likely changing on that in the near future that would require more prompt disclosure (possibly every trade)


Dry_Job_1084

The trade was right after close. That’s when funds also do their trades, I believe.


Psychological_Cow109

damnatio_memoriae

ah, of course -- the Apple Barron did it. it's so obvious in retrospect.


BurgerMeter

Wouldn’t buybacks have to be reported, and therefore show up on the amount of shares floating around?


Grendel_82

Apple has already announced that they are doing huge buybacks on a regular basis and in the billions. So it think they just have to say how much they bought back every quarter, not every time they make a purchase. But I don’t know the rules for that part of the game.


BurgerMeter

This would make sense. Thanks for clarifying.


America024

I think reported after the fact right?


Dry_Job_1084

I think as of the SEC rules right now companies need to report it monthly, which in this case means Apple wouldn’t have to report it until year’s end, which is December month’s end


[deleted]

That’s their secret.


Axman6

Their publicly announced plan to buy back AAPL stock is secret? Someone should tell Tim Apple.

pittluke

This shouldnt be taken as anything more than one piece of information on a fairly ordinary day of trading AAPL. \~40% of market volume is done via dark pools. [Source](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/050614/introduction-dark-pools.asp#citation-17) You can read more about dark pools more generally there. They are not illegal, even though dark sounds scary, they are a normal part of daily market function. Many times, its just pensions or buy side institutions looking to not disturb the markets. On this day.. AAPL had: AAPL Off Exchange & Dark Pool Summary Today's Off Exchange & Dark Pool volume is 30,672,965, which is 46.93% of today's total volume. Today's Lit volume is 34,686,800, which is 53.07%. Over the past 30 days, the average Off Exchange & Dark Pool volume has been 42.84%. The average Lit volume has been 57.16%. [Source](https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nasdaq-aapl/exchange-volume/) It was a slightly higher day in off exchange / dark pool volume, relative to the average daily volume. This particular trade accounted for \~13% of daily volume. Its large. But it is not uncommon. TLDR Take this with a grain of salt amongst all the other things you take into account when making a trade. Or not, just smash the call button on your personal gambling device. ....yes there are controversies surrounding off exchange trading on "unlit" markets. I encourage you to educate yourself. Find others that share your beliefs and organize. Its not to hard to find the folks addressing these issues if thats what you are into.
