iPad at a Crossroads + Subtraction.com
two new models of the company’s iPad line were also announced. It’s now more than ten days after they went on sale, and yet there have been no sales figure announcements, no bragging about new record-breaking numbers of iPads pre-ordered, no new milestones in adoption reached. There’s just silence. In and of itself that might not be remarkable, but the lack of news around sales numbers seems especially suspicious given that iPad sales have declined now for three quarters in a row. ... almost as soon as it debuted, critics derided the iPad Mini 3 as a paltry upgrade over the iPad Mini 2.

US and China tighten in unison, and damn the torpedoes - AmbEvPritch
Net bond stimulus by all the global central banks together has fallen by roughly $125bn a month since the end of last year, an annualised pace of $1.5 trillion. We have seen an abrupt halt to the $10.2 trillion of net reserve accumulation since 2000 that has played such a role in the asset boom of the modern era. That does not automatically mean asset prices will fall, but it removes a powerful tailwind.
