Industry-leading Apple analysis. From Wall Street to Silicon Valley.
Welcome to Above Avalon.
This site originated from a Tumblr blog I started about Apple in 2010. At the time, I was a Wall Street analyst focused on the financial sector, while all things related to Apple and technology were my evening and weekend projects. After being disappointed with the lack of relevant Apple analysis from both a financial and business point of view, I decided it was time to begin building a new kind of Apple analysis site based on my financial background coupled with my love for putting things together. By examining Apple from both a Wall Street and Silicon Valley perspective, Above Avalon provides unique insight into how Apple functions and its worldview.
Above Avalon has become an industry-leading source of accurate and comprehensive analysis of Apple’s product, business, and financial strategy as well as its industry competitiveness.
Whether for your own personal knowledge, a hobby or career-related interests, this site was designed with you in mind: my perspective and analysis is meant to inform, enlighten and provide an alternate viewpoint. I have exciting things planned for Above Avalon and members make it all possible.
