I don't know about you but people are really starting to annoy me.

Their banality, their predictability.

iPhone 10 went up for pre-order on Thursday night Friday morning.

Predictably, the planet did not explode and people were able to place orders.

This was followed by Tim Cook saying something

buoyant sounding while being predictably vague and Wall Street reacting in a

predictably excited way. Barons had Apple CEO telling CNBC that demand for the premium devices was off the charts.

The snarky among us on Twitter wondered if Apple needed to consider some bigger charts,

or perhaps they needed the head of the company's

numbers productivity app to come in and tell them how to scroll from one side of the

chart to the other. Funny comedy jokes.

Off the charts is not a measurement, but stated in a jovial way, it sounds good. It was obviously meant to, and to be clear, I have no doubt that pre-orders for iPhone 10 were great.

Wall Street reacted to Cook's comments as if there was even a chance that it was going to come

out and say something other than everything is awesome, or words to that effect.

Apple shares ended the day up $5.64 because a new iPhone came out people

ordered it and Tim Cook smiled for the camera.

It's possible I should have taken the day off.

Drexel Hamilton analyst Brian White was excited by what he saw on Friday.
