    Apple has had a great couple of years. I'd suggest that everyone who owns AAPL take a look at their portfolio's to check to see what percentage AAPL is and how well their assets are diversified. If you find yourself 20% or 30% or more in AAPL, you have a concentrated position and are at risk should it under-perform. I recommend taking a look and rebalancing should that be the case. Just a thought from the financial planning side.
