Good morning everyone. Major indices are GREEN. AAPL is GREEN, trading at 117.65 +0.49 (0.42%) at 6:26. What could go wrong? Winter Weather. Over 6 inches of snow last night changing to a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain creates ugly driving conditions this morning. Feel like we've been here before? It's groundhog day. In the news: WSJ/Digits has a piece Apple Ranks As China’s Most Desirable Luxury Brand. Other than that, quiet. Like much of today may be. Here's to an Apple break out. Have a great day. Let's make money.

Although this story is from the weekend (there were others too), Apple, Obama and the Federal Highway Trust Fund, I'm glad to see that there may be some progress on the tax code. Whatever rate they settle on (if it ever gets done), I just hope they don't attach restrictions on the funds....i.e. can't be used for stock buybacks, dividends, etc.

Apple released a new ad in China just in time for the Chinese New Year. The ad is based on the US ad "The Song".

Rewarding tablet failure. I wonder how Fire Phone 2 will do.

And CNBC reporting that Bezos keeps selling stock - the aesthetics are bad at the very least

Isn't the 'game' of a ponzi scheme to not be the guy holding the bag?

You two just don't understand the stock market. When Bezos sells, it's time to BUY. AMZN is up. lol

Funny, when I see stuff like 'Bezos is selling' I think, maybe its time to short Amazon (again) -- then look an see that Amazon is up on the news and I just shake my head.

You know you're watching too closely when a 30¢ upward move looks good.

Maybe AAPL isn't going out of business after all? WS is irrational, so I'm doing the rational thing and selling off what's left of my Aprils.

Looks like Cook has greased the skids for tax deal with the AZ announcement. McCain will push thru the deal.

On an entirely different note, my lovely bride decided that buying a king size down comforter would give her more time before my tossing and turning pulled the covers off her. We ordered it from Amazon along with an 1870 pound extra wide 2 Hour Fireproof Data Safe. Both came today. Unfortunately, the data safe will have to be returned. Good thing we have Amazon Prime.

Maybe he will, but unless Tim Cook goes to Congress, has a photo op or at least some press release pledging X billion dollars, I'm not expecting a huge amount of repatriation. It's beyond obvious Apple wants to keep a significant cash balance for dividends and buybacks. Boxer/Paul doesn't help that.

It's entertaining to read the comments to that piece ... I'm sometimes entertained by internet comments. But othertimes, as in this case, I just find it depressing. It makes me long to see a cogent argument (extra credit for correct spelling and grammar) for just about anything, instead of a constant stream of abusive comments about Apple, Obama, illegals, California and on and on.

That was my response, as well. There are too many knee jerks populating all the internet's forums (and don't you all start pointing fingers at me!!!).

In Digitimes this Tuesday morning: "Shipments of iPhone devices to top 50 million units in 1Q15, say Taiwan makers". I believe that is the number of iPhones many Apple analysts have already predicted for next quarter.
