On January 17th, 2018 someone brought to our attention that Apple increased its investment fund from $1 to $5 billion.

Initially, the idea that you earmark significant funds was a great reason for publicity perhaps, however, following a brief tangent using an LSTM based on all historical NEWS around APPLE, MANUFACTURING or SUPPLIERS there was no significant evidence of any reason to be cynical about it. After that quick experiment, we thought maybe it would be used to help INNOVATE or STIMULATE current suppliers.
