In yesterday's "The VIX Settled With A 15-Handle Today" I posted that Apple had set a new all-time high at $180.49 in afterhours trade. That was incorrect. From Barron's, also June 1:

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, begins on June 5. The tech giant typically announces its upcoming products at the gatherings, and investors will be keen to hear launches and business updates.
