I'm pretty sure that what you are talking about is illegal and Apple has been found guilty of doing it in the recent past already....

Also, how would Apple be able to to keep an investment like that secret? After all Apple is a publicly traded company. Do they just write off $1Bn under "other expenses" and expect owners (stock holders) to not ask: what's that $1Bn for???

Doubt AAPL shareholders would even notice something as insignificant as a little $1bn investment. Anyway they're constantly saying Apple needs to spend some of its absurd cash reserves so can't imagine them minding too much.
It's AAPL, billion here, billion there. Pocket change
beat me to it :smile:

Is this completely speculative rumour regarding AAPL really driving this move? I guess +1.5% is justifiable....after all if something of the sort was confirmed the stock would soar +10%+.

You don't get to $800Bn market cap by having neither management nor ownership that would allow for "1Bn here and 1Bn there".

Agreed. If you're trying to short term trade on flimsy news like this remember: buy into weakness, sell into the strength

Agreed, I'm far from convinced by this. We've had so many of these rumours from fairly shady sources and with no real conviction and this one doesn't seem any different.
To me this is a good opportunity for those who were waiting for a good time to roll their options out a bit or take profits, nothing more. Buying on a questionable rumour after a few flat days and a long and strong run-up over the last few weeks seems too risky to be worth it when we know that good buying opportunities keep coming around where we have a very clear info edge over the market.

It would make no sense for Apple to buy Tesla, or attempt to enter the automobile industry with an Apple car. If Apple bought Tesla, Apple would be taking on the entire financial burden, and risks that go with the things Tesla is trying to do.
However, a $1-10 billion would be pocket change for a company that regularly invests billions into its supply chain, would not necessarily need to be disclosed by Tesla or Apple, and would be a win-win for Tesla and Apple.

I've only seen this latest AAPL connection talked about here. The $TSLA feed on Twitter is usually a good indication of what gossip is driving the market and I haven't seen anyone mention it there. I think this is just another minor test higher. It may follow through, it may not. Not every 3 dollar move up and down needs to be justified, the market is just doing it's thing.

I used to think the same way. AAPL spent a billion on GTAT and look what happened there...Part of my investment thesis was Apple wouldn't just waste a billion $ on GTAT if there wasn't a good chance of it working out.
With that said this is all just speculation and I don't believe it. Time to discuss something new like where is TSLA going to get pinned today for OPEX??
It's not always a win (for the non-Apple side) to become an Apple supplier - just look at GTAT. In less extreme examples, Apple's been known to squeeze their smaller suppliers (where the Apple business is a large portion of their total business) to near-financial ruin once Apple gets the supplier pregnant.
However I imagine Mr. Musk would not put Tesla in that position if he did deal with Apple...

Jump is still not big enough. So We'll have ti eait and see what it is. Opex and the 247 Fib level is defending its position well.
Since Apple has a cool $200bn in cash and a Good chunk of that is in Ireland and they can't take it home easily (or cheaply) it would make total sense for them to invest it abroad. Seeing how lucrative the battery business is and especially if they really want to make an EV it wouldn't surprise me if they partnered for GF2 and GF3 in Europe and Asia. So while this may be a rumor, it is not that far fetched. Back on topic, if true, TSLA would go nuts if they announced a partnership.

If I had a nickel for every time someone here mentioned an AAPL/TSLA tie-up since I started reading these forums, I could buy Tesla myself.
A while back some people pointed this out.
