Apple Does It Again!
I have run out of superlatives to describe Apple’s quarterly financial successes. All the “know it all” analysts were smug in their predictions that Apple would exceed their 3rd Quarter financial guidance but Apple posted earnings that surprised even the most bullish of the crowd. Posting sales of $45.8 Billion with a profit of $8.7…
