Two green weeks in a row, as meager as they were. I believe that this year could be a version of the old "Sell in May and go away" maxim, with the likelihood of little to move the needle until the drumbeat of the 10th anniversary iPhone release begins in earnest. But who among us would not have been happy to imagine a period of stasis in the 140's when when AAPL was hovering around 90? Battle of the tech giants: Samsung set to pass Apple in Q2 predicts that Samsung's profit for the next quarter may exceed Apple's. Let's ignore the fact that this is typically Apple's slowest quarter, and that it will likely be further dampened by the expectations for what should be a blockbuster set of releases in the Fall. Continuing my fascination with Apple's rise as a silicon development powerhouse, Apple, Inc. Warned Imagination Nearly 2 Years Ago That It Was Over describes how yet another supplier has been rendered irrelevant to Apple's future. The increasing importance of machine learning and and the demands of VR/AR will demonstrate how Apple's decision to take silicon development in house as much as possible has set them up to reserve the lion's share of the profits from coming technological trends in the future. I guess having the guy who oversaw the procurement and production processes for years now running the company could have some real benefits.

I agree with the caveat that if the possibility of tax reform fades, I expect to see many of our fair weather friends move on to quicker bucks elsewhere. I am not sure that we will not see 120 again.
