Missed all the fireworks yesterday...,which was nice. Here's a non-political question that I continue to have re: the China issue. Why does anyone believe that promises of intellectual property rights protection will work over there when we can't seem to make it work here? I'll use the courts allowing Compaq to reverse engineer DOS, Microsoft to rip off the Mac and Android to rip off IOS as an illustration.

Stealing intellectual property is almost always done in secret. Just as baseball teams will always look for a way to steal the signs being passed between the catcher and the pitcher, foreign intelligence services and industries will always be trying to steal our valuable corporate and military secrets. They’ll try recruit our disloyal citizens to help them and they’ll be successful in doing so. Anyone believing otherwise is naive, this has been going on for centuries. Our emphasis needs to be on preventing this from being easy by securing information and secrets in a more robust way and by continuing to preempt the activities of spies wherever possible. You cannot accomplish any of this with a treaty. We just need to have better spies than everyone else. That’s why attacking our foreign service professionals is so wrong imo.

Silkstone, I'm probably being obtuse, but I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Thanks.

he's talking about drumpf's constant ragging on Ambassadors/FBI/CIA/US intelligence community and siding with / believing putin over our own intelligence assets.
Trade deals: Well, we had a good one lined up and it was multi-lateral even...(TPP) but someone took a dump in that punch bowl and blew it up. (no surprise). Then started tariff-based trade wars on multiple fronts (with allies, even) with no real endgame or strategy in mind, and everyone wonders why we're losing so hard at it... (gee, I wonder? the blind leading the blind comes to mind.)
on a positive note, it's nice to see the bounce from yesterday.

Ended the day up by $2.29. Can't complain. Unless there are more tweets, AAPL should be over 265 again by next week if not by this Friday
