Good Evening, As I said the other night, Apple (AAPL) Is a big part of many portfolios and funds. We’ve already seen what it can do for the market when Apple has a good report and that was the case again today when Apple became the first publicly traded company to reach a Trillion dollar valuation. First the tech sector partied with apple and then the rest of the market joined in. There aren’t many stocks that can pull the market up by themselves but Apple is one of them. A trillion dollar company leaves a big foot print. As a tech investor on the street I can tell you that today was quite lucrative. One more thing worth noting on the day. Small caps resumed their previous leadership status partially to do with the Apple news but largely to do with increased tariff threats as well as more heated rhetoric between the U.S. and China. Same old stuff to be sure and that’s the reason we are in the same old fund…….
