Price wasn't high enough and I wanted to see the outcome and Apple's reaction - would they leave it alone - or double down?

They doubled down.

So instead I sold at 660 instead of ~600 and got my answer.

How high is high enough and the trial has being going on for fucking 18 months. In what unicorn infested world would Apple "leave it alone" and what constitutes "double down"?

AAPL will at least pop briefly in a few hours, seems like you have no problem making a profit on the back of a company you have a ethical disagreement with, can you justify your behavior to not riding the AAPL train further?

660 is high enough. I changed my mind with the Koh case.

Not rational to say the least.

Your prediction is on equally magical ground.

Good luck and have fun.

I got 60% CAGR on AAPL (90-660) and I've pulled 20% CAGR on GOOG (570-670). I will have fun. Check back in a year and see how my prediction pans out.
