Apple may not have their phones burning up, but they have other problems, such as disappointing sales of the iPhone 7, so poor that for the first time, they didn’t even release first week sales.

At Dohmen Capital Research, we see that Apple’s US Mac sales are also plunging, down 13.2% from one year ago. This is not a big part of total Apple sales, but it adds up when all the other “great hopes,” such as the Apple Watch, Apple Pay, Apple TV, etc. have fizzled.

The national debt is accelerating at a geometric rate. But no one in Washington seems to notice. “Geometric” rate means it is accelerating exponentially.

Have you noticed that current members of Congress never mention the horrendous explosion in the nation’s debt? Apparently, they hope that Americans won’t notice what they have done to our economic future.

When Apple management announced that the iPhone 7 was sold out, the stock soared about 14%. That’s an increase in market value of over $80 billion. We call that a windfall from a shortfall.

We were skeptical. We consider the reception of iPhone 7 lukewarm, certainly not enough for demand to soar above expectations.

However, there probably is a real shortage at the moment. But instead of being caused by big demand, couldn’t it be due to a lack of supply?
