China Is About To Make You Rich! The Best Investment You Will Ever
Make!
Don’t Wait ……… Please Read On!
Dear Baby Boomer Investor, I thought of you when I heard the news! Whether you are ready or not, please hear me out. Why? Well, I waited for sometime to really listen to what so many were telling me. And to tell you the truth, that was something I will always regret. The money I could have made is enormous! Well, I can’t think about that because I know now it’s not too late to still buy stock! But wait I have more to tell you! I know you’re busy but there is something so vital that can make such a difference in your lifestyle and I must share what I know…… But first…… A little about the company known as Apple,Inc.
Stock Alert!
Apple Went from Near Bankruptcy to Billions in 13+ Years
Yes, Apple is worth billions today but not without a struggle. However, the struggle is what made Apple one of the best investments of all time. It made Apple the honest and hardworking, seeking a vision of the future, platform. Apple changed not only our lives, as individuals, but the way the world views everything. Apple would not have been possible without a leader, who was truly a visionary. Steve Jobs’ accomplishments are far-‐reaching and impossible to easily summarize simply because he did something that only happens once in awhile in our world. He transformed the leadership industry without even realizing it. I think that all of us would like to know that our lives and our choices have affected others in a good way. Whether Steve understood this or not, he did change our whole world, by inspiring us to grow beyond our current limitations. I bring this up because investments are personal…….. And for you it’s necessary to know if it will profit you. We don’t have time to go out and earn the same money as when we were young, so everything we do is taken very seriously. As a baby boomer, wanting to retire soon, I watch every penny I have. This is why I feel my message to you is personal. It’s deeply personal to me and I can relate to your ultimate desire as you finish your life.
A Leader Who Changed The World….Can Now Change Your Wealth Dramatically.
When I started to look at investing for the first time in Apple, I had to know more about the company because for me it’s important.
Like all of us, our choices are based on the information we have. Although Steve Jobs has died, what he created is changing our world, daily. He literally transformed forever, industries such as, personal computers, phones, animation, music, publishing and video games. He revived a bankrupt company, Apple, believing in his dreams, by
becoming:
ü A great negotiator
ü A skilled motivator
ü A decisive judge
ü A farsighted tastemaker
ü An excellent showman
ü A gifted strategist. Isn’t this the kind of person we want running the business that will make us money? For me, the answer is definitely yes! Under this amazing man’s leadership, and with his ability to change directions…… Apple soon became the most ingenious company in the world. The way Apple changed course is proof that the foundation of which it was built will insure even greater success in the future.
Apple’s Repeated Success, Paves The Way for Your Own Financial Freedom!
Unlike many entrepreneurs and technologists who appear to succeed only once, Steve Jobs was very different.
Not driven by riches or fame, he worked and never gave up on his ultimate goal. ….. To repeat success over and over again with his vision of greater things to come. Think of it this way…. As Apple was set in motion, as we watched it grow to billions, the same momentum is now giving back to us to become a part of this growth, And that opportunity is to grow our own wealth along side with Apple. We must believe as Steve Jobs did, and with that belief we will see our own personal wealth grow beyond what we ever imagined.
But we have to act now!
We can’t wait ………or it will be too late. Like I shared before…… I waited and lost out while many of my friends have increased their wealth double-‐fold. Take for example…. In 1990, Ning Wang and his wife, Ting Qian bought Apple shares and refused to sell them, even during some difficult times. Today, they are worth nearly $1 million. Even when Steve Jobs, the heart and soul of Apple, died, they kept their stock. Since then, Apple shares have almost doubled while becoming the most valuable company on the planet. For this couple they received an incredible return on their investment. They purchased 100 shares of Apple in 1998 at $34 a share… Taking into account Apple’s stock splits (there was a 2-‐for-‐1 split in 2000 and again in 2005, as well as the 7-‐for-‐1 split this past June, their initial order of 100 shares translates to 2,800 shares today. To see it more clearly I calculated that when the Apple shares were at around $100, those shares from that first trade alone, were now worth about $280,000. When you subtract their initial $3,400 investment it leaves a massive profit of $276,000.
But they didn’t stop there and in 1999 they invested in 500 more shares….. The couple calculates they’ve made $650,000 in unrealized profits plus another $115,000 in realized profits from sales. As you and I sit and think about it…..Apple continues to grow! As we wait, trying to decide, Apple continues to grow. People are making money because this is no ordinary company. We are seeing growth, that is welcomed by the younger generation simply because it is the wave of the future. Can we sit and wait? Yes, we can….. But in the meantime many are creating wealth for their own. Don’t take my word only….. I have more to share on my findings and it’s exciting!
Apple Generates $16.1 Billion In Revenue in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in Three Months
Sales for the iPhone in Greater China, which includes the mainland as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan, have overtaken those of the U.S., as total revenues for the region surpassed Europe. The 2013 prediction by Tim Cook, Apple chief executive, is that China would become Apple’s largest overall market, very soon. What this means is that time is ticking and to get on board is NOW! What is happening in China is unprecedented…… Ben Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, suggests that Apple’s Chinese revenues may exceed those from the U.S. as soon as this time next year, in it’s fiscal second quarter. Today, Greater China represents 29 per cent of Apple’s total sales, compared with 37 per cent for the U.S. Revenues in China increased 71 per cent in the three months to March, compared with the same period last year, reaching a high of $16.8 billion, compared with 19 per cent growth in the U.S.
The iPhone was up 72 per cent in China in unit terms, in a smartphone market that is estimated to grow at 5 per cent overall. Tim Cook recently stated, “Everything you look at in China is extremely good. I’ve never seen as many people coming into the middle class as they are in China and that’s where the bulk of our sales are going.” What’s profound is that Apple’s success in China is striking given the difficulties other western technology companies have faced in the country. Apple has shown to be a phenomenal fit with the aspirational nature of the growing middle class in China, which quickly gravitates to non-‐Chinese and especially Western products including those with a luxury brand. This is a major plus in looking at the future of Apple and the promise of enormous growth. Apple has proven to be the only technology company that’s able to unite the technology of the product with the luxury goods market. This fact alone proves that the Apple Watch will be welcomed immediately. The reaction from Wall Street was ebullient.
Apple’s Shares Touched a New All-Time High
With Apple shares opening higher at $134.54, a message was sent of enthusiasm, quickly…… But there is even more good news…….. Tim Cook recently stated that most of Apple’s success in China has been seen with the iPhone, but that is beginning to change. Mr. Cook said that the iPad, just a brief mention in the past on Apple’s overall results, with global revenues down 29 per cent, had its best quarter in China. And even better news is that……… The Mac sales are growing in an otherwise dismal Chinese PC market. Apple continues to invest in China and it is now paying off considerably. With Apple’s online store now shipping to 350 Chinese cities there is no wonder why the market has the potential to clearly explode. This is incredible news!
But even better are the plans that Apple has in doubling the number of physical retail stores to 40 by the end of this year alone.
When you add to the mix that Apple is expanding, in the near future, the line of products, the China market is more likely to remain loyal instead of switching to Asian rivals such as Samsung, Lenovo, or Xiaomi. With Apple’s rapid growth in research and development spending…….. Which increased 39 per cent to $3.8 billion in the past six months…… It’s another sure promise that Apple is looking to the future and is not going away anytime soon. From services such as Apple Pay and the iTunes music service, to new devices, including an upgraded Apple TV set-‐top box…… Apple is working hard to make a name that lasts for years to come. And this is even more of a reason to buy Apple Stock today! But wait, let me share some more good news.
This upgrade is going to alter the lives of millions of people... making some very rich...
Apple Pay will revolutionize how we do business in this world. Maybe you haven’t heard about it…
With iPhone 6 or the Apple Watch, you will be able to safely store multiple credit and/or debit cards… With no more reason to find the card in your wallet or even type in a PIN…. With no need to go to the ATM…..or fumble with change…. Faster payment means faster lines at the checkout…… Life just got a lot easier and much more convenient, for all of us.
But One Company Shares Incredible Success…… Already!
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said the company processed a full $2 Billion in 2014. In 2012 Starbucks launched a new mobile payment app….. A pre-‐paid mobile payment technology that lets you pay for coffee and other items at Starbucks simply by waving your smartphone over a reader at a checkout….. Now Starbucks is getting 6 million mobile payment transactions per week. What does this mean? It means a whole new way to bring in staggering amounts of money has just begun. With this technology Apple is on pace to sell as many as 80 million iPhone 6’s in just one quarter, which would break the company’s all-‐time record of 51 million iPhones sold in the same amount of time. Some early reports of what this technology has already accomplished sends a powerful message that this will be a change that will not only be acceptable for it’s convenience but it will revolutionize our world. It will become a way of life……just like the credit and/or debit cards. Walgreens, has already doubled the amount of mobile payment transactions because of Apple Pay. McDonalds purchases are up a full 50% by using Apple Pay. After 17 days of launching, Apple Pay accounted for about 1% of all transactions at Whole Foods. That might not seem like a lot but given that 1% of sales at Whole Foods includes over 150,000 transactions and over $6 million in goods, it’s actually quite impressive……
And especially given the fact that all of this occurred in just the first 17 days of Apple Pay’s launch! Similar results are beginning to show the power of this amazing new product at Apple……..
Is This Just a Short-Lived Fad?
Learn from the past! Get this, the “founding father” of the credit card industry, Frank McNamara, the one who created the Diner’s Club card in 1950, was so convinced that credit cards were just a “fad” that he sold his share of the business just three years after starting it, for $200,000. Diner’s Club went on to be one of America’s premier credit cards and by the mid-‐1960’s had 1.3 million members and was accepted worldwide. It was also valued at more than $56.5 million dollars at that time which equals more than $411 million in today’s dollars!
We Are Destined to Capitalize on This Incredible Market
As you know the doubts cast on the credit and debit cards success years ago, were dead wrong. These payment revolutions went on to be multi-‐billion-‐even Trillion-‐Dollar-‐ industries despite the naysayers. My point is that the Apple Pay technology is in the same exact position as credit cards were in the 1950’s, debit cards in the 1970’s and online banking in the 1990’s. This means it’s time to capitalize on this amazing new trend.
These Numbers Tell The Truth In 2012, over 120 million cell phones were already equipped with this technology. By 2013, that number more than doubled to 275 million phones. And by 2018, that number will grow to 1.2 billion, according to IHS Technology. The use of in-‐store mobile payments is expect to grow by a factor of 42 – that’s 4,100% -‐ by 2018 according to Business Insider. According to research firm Gartner, we are looking at a total market value of $720 billion in worldwide global payment by 2017.
Apple has done it again! You cannot afford to not invest in technology that is about to explode taking the world into a whole new era. Apple’s revenue will surge enormously whether you want to be a part of this wave or not! Think of it this way. Apple is selling a whole new innovative way to do business thru its products…. which will increase sales beyond what we can comprehend. On top of that Apple Pay will also capture a percentage of the already $13 Trillion in credit, debit, and cash transactions that occur worldwide every year.
But There’s More! This Technology Does Much More……..
What makes this stock so incredibly profitable, is not only that it is at a great price….. And that the technology is an industry leader……… But it’s greatest power is the continuation of the mindset of Steve Jobs….. This mindset is a powerful force to build even greater tools for the future! When you take a company like Apple and you see the path that brought it to the place where it is today…. Steve Jobs believed in dreams that promised for each of us, a better world. For instance where most people see the iPod as a music player, Steve Jobs saw it as a tool to enrich people’s lives. He re-‐introduced the fact that breakthrough innovation required creativity, and creativity required that we think differently about the way we currently see things today…. And even more important is to understand that this same technology is currently being developed for use in hospitals where they can be used to improve healthcare by keeping track of treatments and when doctors and nurses have checked in. In the Netherlands 50,000 nurses are already using this technology to successfully track and manage patients.
It also lets diabetes sufferers read their glucose levels at any time by simply holding an iPhone to a tiny device implanted under their skin – totally replacing the need for finger pricking and dedicated glucose monitoring devices. With more than 29 million diabetes sufferers just in the US, this market alone is staggering. A similar technology using the same devices are for monitoring and reporting of sleep disorders. And it’s not just the healthcare industry that will be changed………. Interaction from enabled phones will be used for appliance makers, such as LG and Panasonic, for air conditioners, washers, dryers, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and countless other appliances. People can adjust their air conditioners, check refrigerator settings, or set their preferred washing cycle remotely from outside the home simply by using their iPhone. My point is that Apple is revolutionizing the market in areas you might not be aware of. The applications for the technology are virtually endless. That is why owning stock in Apple will be life changing as your wealth will grow substantially. Why wait? The time is now!
