The protests in Hong Kong have me worried. 1.7 million protesters gathered in Hong Kong on Sunday. That is ~ 20% of the population.
I doubt the Chinese government will negotiate and an oppressive government, possibly violent, crackdown is inevitable. I am not clear on the affects for Apple, but it could be devastating, International boycotts, Chinese government seizures of foreign assets, etc. I do not trust dictatorships who have little to no regard for their citizens.

I wouldn't worry much, can't beat long term outlook.

I do not trust dictatorships who have little to no regard for Apple! btw, China is a Rockefeller Colony, and has been since 1949, when the CIA put Mao in power. The pruff? John D Rockefeller III designed their one child only policy. He started the Population Council, in 1953, to study population growth control on the planet. China was largely sealed off from the rest of the world since 1949 (like a religious cult) with the rest of the world having limited access to reliable info coming out of it. This was done by the Rockefellers (the population growth control people) to create a laboratory to study population growth control strategies with out interference from any outside influences. The idea being that someday the more successful of these strategies will be rolled out world wide (where applicable). Scary thought. My guess is, the one child only policy will be in the US, and other Western Industrialized countries, by the end of the 2030s. It was a disaster btw. It created more demographic winters because Chinese citizens usually aborted the female fetuses and as of (35 years later) 2015, in the 18-35 age group there are over 30 million Chinese males with no female counterpart.

Nice to have an up day....up $10 in a week.
But I do prefer when the stock can hold it's percent lead against the S&P.
These next few weeks will be interesting....and I'm sure there will be some negative rumors tossed in. I'd give it a 50%+ chance that we'll get a "Apple is cutting iPhone orders from manufacturer x of part y" before the iPhone announcement, and a 75% chance of it happening sometime before quarterly earnings.
Then again, I just read a few photocopies from Money Magazine in 1999, including a day trading chronicle (he made a whopping $21k over a year, as his job), and some blurbs of people's winning investment preferences. I remember the timeframe, when everyone though they were great at investing because their investments were doing great, but not noticing the rest of the market was doing great too.
Fun times. Only in retrospect do you pick up on the obvious signs of frothiness, like stock tips given out by everyone and getting lots of interest.
We're not there, IMO. And the volatility of the last 11 months has blown off some of the steam that was forming.
