Well ... not much AAPL specific action to talk about ... plenty of US policy stuff but probably better not to bring it up on this forum.
I have to keep reminding myself that we are still just a small percentage away from our ATH so not bad considering all of the uncertainty in the markets right now.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next CC to find out if Apple is finally going to get serious about giving us shareholders a decent dividend .... I believe they will but it will be much better than the past raises but less than I'll be hoping for since they always seem to run conservatively.
Cheers to the longs .....

There really isn't much competition out there to worry about right now for iPhone. As "boring" as the new tech is in the X, Samsung's S9 seems to lack any real innovation at all. appleinsider.com/articles/18/03/08/samsung-galaxy-s9-review-roundup-predictable-smartphone-plagued-by-creepy-ar-emoji-issue-prone-security" Reviewers of the Samsung Galaxy S9 have praised the South Korean giant's flagship ahead of its release, but while it is considered to be one of the best Android devices on the market, the similarity with the Galaxy S8's design and underwhelming new features suggest it is a bit of a misstep for Apple's main rival.
The Verge
Reviewer Dan Seifert starts off by pointing out the Galaxy S9 is less of a major upgrade compared to the Galaxy S8, more a refinement, declaring "The Galaxy S9 is the most predictable Samsung phone yet."
The design and specifications of the S9 "bring zero surprises" to the table, but Samsung still "nailed the basics" in terms of how the device influences its own day-to-day use. At the same time as noting the overall appearance of the smartphone being close to the previous model, Seifert believes this doesn't make it less attractive a device."
