Apple Inc (AAPL) is expanding its supplier network in China while also growing its presence in Southeast Asia and India, despite geopolitical tensions and a tech conflict between the U.S. and China. The company has increased its China-based suppliers, reducing reliance on other countries, and has seen a surge in suppliers in Vietnam and Thailand. Despite diversification efforts, China remains a significant part of Apple's supply chain. Apple's global shipments dropped nearly 10%, with softening demand in China, where it offered iPhone 15 series discounts. Morgan Stanley anticipates a slight revenue increase for the March quarter but expects a significant downward revision for June quarter guidance. Apple stock has gained 4% in the last 12 months, and exposure to AAPL can be gained through ETFs like VGT and XLK.

Pennsylvania is considering a state-run model for recreational marijuana distribution, similar to its liquor store system, as part of efforts to legalize cannabis. Governor Josh Shapiro supports this approach to regulate, tax, and leverage cannabis sales for state revenue and social reform, projecting $250 million annually within five years. The state Senate, traditionally GOP-dominated, is open to legalization discussions. The House proposes state-run shops, while the Senate suggests using existing medical dispensaries. Cresco Labs (CRLBF) and Trulieve (TCNNF) support the Senate's model, emphasizing market readiness and safety. The industry is divided on Shapiro's proposed 20% cannabis tax. Pennsylvania cannabis companies like Cresco Labs, Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF), and others have shown resilience, with a 3% increase in Q1 2024, despite broader economic challenges. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is considered a potential manager for cannabis sales, highlighting the need for clear regulatory guidance.
