It’s an Apple economy! Not only must we own $AAPL, we must own every company that has anything to do with iPads and iPhones. This seems to be the only thing in the American economy that is working!
- Qualcomm rides new iPad to new high. ($QCOM)
- Broadcom, Qualcomm, Samsung chips in new iPad.
- As you know, Verizon and AT&T sell the LTE wireless coverage for the iPad and iPhone. What’s that, about $30 a month for 2 gig of data. Heck, you might be able to squeeze in one, or two, HD movies over LTE at that rate. Makes paying for a movie ticket, a large tub of popcorn, and a large diet Dr. Pepper seem like a bargain! ($VZ, $T).
- Triquint, Avago, Cirrus, and Skyworks are in the game, too. And Texas Instruments and Farchield. ($TQNT, $AVGO, $CRUS, $SWKS, $TXN, $FCS).
- In addition, now dividend growth and income investors don’t need anything but $AAPL as Apple has declared a quarterly dividend! Apple said Monday that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share, starting in its fiscal fourth quarter, which begins July 1.
