Regarding Imagination Tech, 15 - 24 months is a long time. I believe negotiations will continue, Hope no one here has any significant investments in Imagination Tech.

The Verge has the complete list of 265 Senators and Reps who voted to allow ISPs to sell customer data, every single one a Republican.

The Verge has the complete list of 265 Senators and Reps who voted to allow ISPs to sell customer data, every single one a Republican. Do we want goog or fb etc. to have the only dominions to sell of your privacy? I don't know what to think, but from a ISP standpoint the internets should be free. I have not yet found other sources for this, but the other angle to this viral story (which is not being reported much) is that a corrupt Google power grab from the Obama administration is being overturned. From source...... The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) until 2015 was the cop on the beat for Internet privacy, data security, and consumer protection broadly. The FTC had a well-developed framework that treated all the players the same way – Internet Service Providers (ISPs), search, advertising networks, and social media companies. That all changed when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted on a 3-2 party-line vote to adopt Barack Obama’s plan to regulate the Internet like a public utility. From source.... FTC Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen warned that “[e]conomists (and common sense) tell us that if different sets of rules govern competitors, companies subject to the more onerous or unpredictable regime are disadvantaged compared to those outside that regime.” That’s precisely what happened as Google – which had an astonishing 250 personnel rotate into the Obama administration – used its stroke to hobble competitors. www.cnsnews.com/commentary/phil-kerpen/online-privacy-vote-not-about-what-you-thought?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cns&utm_campaign=online-privacy-vote-cnswww.theverge.com/2017/3/31/15138094/comcast-att-fcc-internet-privacy-rules-response

Very happy to see the AAPL turnaround today. Although not as impressive as TSLA (Apple doesn't lose enough money to have these kind of runs), I'll take it.

AAPL's action makes it seem as if it's reached its high point, for the time being at least. Unless there's a catalyst or a big market run, a 143-146 range seems likely till earnings.

I think the current level is all about being in position to harvest benefits from the tax reparation.
I expect us to drop after next earnings. The galaxy 8 could stop the hemorrhaging from Samsung's battery problems, iPhone sales should slow down in anticipation of the iPhone 8, Congress is going to be busy trying to avoid a government shutdown and finally, it is not at all clear that China is going to come back.
Anything that points toward an inability to bring back the cash, IMHO, will drop us back to the 120-125 range. I am sorry to sound so negative, but I see us hitting 125 before we hit 155. Long term, I see not reason to worry.
Thanks for letting me vent. I have no idea what is really going to happen.

I don't think the tax deal is baked in. The expansion of p/e has more to do with a solid iPhone business and anticipation of a big iPhone upgrade cycle. I don't expect us to drop until July earnings. All the data I have read indicates strong iPhone sales thru the quarter. YOY comps will help next quarter. The part I do agree with is the correction when it becomes challenging for Trump to pass the tax deal. If we drop to 125 I would be thrilled. Most likely 140-135 in my book.
