GraceBoorFan

Womp womp, at least you had the opportunity to buy AAPL at those levels in 2014. Some of us were in middle/high school at the time.

AAPL premiums are shite.

fkh24

AAPL is stupidly overvalued. Good luck.

Some-Wallaby1068

I bought a ton of put options Friday 12/20 at Market Close thinking that the AAPL all-time-high would dip a little so folks could take profits. I have puts for basically each month through 2026. I am so stressed out and do not want this to ruin Christmas and New Year's. Do I sell the 26th for a big loss? Hold? They're all $250 or $255 strike price. Thank you for any advice. Please do not be insulting, I know this was not smart, I am damn near suicidal. Any help appreciated.

The new IOS 18 is so dog shit and ever since AAPL released the new iphone my phone is slow as fuck.

Been a good month. Waking up every morning: TEAM AMERICA (AAPL) F*CK YEAH ‼️

thotdocter

It just had a 10%, very sharp drop in August. AAPL the most high quality and durable company in history dropped all the way to $164 just a few months ago. META was $442 in August. Recently peaked $638. Don't blame the market because you sat on your ass and didn't take advantage of huge firesales this year.

Leroy--Brown

Well my cost basis is about 55 or 56, so yeah I'm planning on holding for at least 1 more year. Maybe more. Purchased in 2017 when the lawsuit with AAPL started. I'm hoping they reach a similar PE to broadcom, then sell.

teamyg

Sold out AMZN at 228.8 and took profit.  Sold half GS at 582 and took profit.  Sold more TSLA at 461 (cost 435.5) and took profit.  Port update: TSLA, AAPL, GS, BAC. Keep fvcking Market-Makers until Jan 3, 2025. 

weewoowewoooo

AAPL going to $4 trillion before close 

wannabelikebas

I think it's a perfectly fine strategy to have the bulk of your funds in IVV/QQQM but then throw some at a few stocks you plan to hold for years that you think can moon. I got super lucky buying $10-$20k each of NVDA, AAPL, and PLTR in the covid crash. I had a few losers too, but those have ballooned to the bulk of my holdings.

40_Broad_St

Once again I am doing nothing and my screen is a wonderful green color. Long AAPL, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, FXAIX

Sold AAPL at the VERY TOP, $208 ATH. Wow, feels good man.

my port is super green today: TSLA, GS, AAPL, AMZN and BAC.

Elon is not happy. Since he's the de-facto leader of the US, he will impose 100% tariffs on iPhone imports. Calls on TSLA, puts on AAPL

weewoowewoooo

I didn’t even notice AAPL is almost $4 trillion what the fuck LMAO

AAPL stole it

I think I might take some profits on AAPL here, then reenter in NY.

1. **Their GPU line is locking in entry level gamers to lock in VTube.** Graphics is not AI which is the growth engine. Entry level graphics is a dogfight for pricing and to buy sockets. 2. **They have proceses that are on track to whip TSMC butt. Making Samsung eat their words like a depressed incel eating ice cream while watching CNN** Depends, I've heard various yield numbers on th 18 process. If you're not #1 in process you're gettting only like 75% per sqin of wafer. 3. **They already have large customer base for their fab line, even getting an endorsement from Huang if China tries to blow up Taiwan.** However, not high-end where the profits are. If they can knock down a commit from AAPL on their core chips, then I'd be impressed. Chinese want to use Chinese fabs when/where possible also. 4. **They have coordinated with Google to establish an open compute standard to make Nvidia lose its AI monopoly. Giving them a chance in leading AU waifu creation.** So have about half a dozen other people. NVDA is still the leader. 5. **They lost AMD to server CPUs but their new line could benefit from the proprietary CPU trend to let them dominate again indirectly.** Well, x86 is not the growth business that ARM core is. 6. **Meme in Chief wants American manufacturing jobs to boost their competitiveness in the US economy. Knocking out TSMC for 5 years and Samsung on lower capacity for 5.** If Samsung and TSMC build American fabs they still get CHIPs money. I think INTC is still ripe for growth, but right now they need to do a few solid things first.

1% for the big AAPL is all i need santa

McKnuckle_Brewery

As of this writing he's talking about taking back the Panama Canal and buying Greenland from Denmark, a NATO ally. These are not ideas to generate stock market returns. They are sheer lunacy, disruptive and confusing and yes, probably complete bullshit - but who really knows? For context, I am 57 and retired. I reduced my stock allocation from 75% to 70% and bought a bunch more fixed income in diverse categories like corporate bonds, high yield bonds, preferred stock, and MBS. My IRA is filled with these and will generate more than $97k in dividends and interest. I will reinvest some, and keep some in cash for stock buying opportunities. I also shifted more money into derivative income funds like JEPI and SPYI. These will generate returns in a variety of ways other than just relying on principal appreciation. The rest of my equities remain untouched in VTI, AAPL, MSFT, and a wide variety of large cap value dividend type stocks. I will also liquidate more shares to cash in January than previously planned, enough for 18 months or so.

TheJoker516

Just keep COST and AAPL and lose the rest..

CwRrrr

12th ATH close for AAPL just in December alone. 

AphexPin

Going to Hawaii then gonna get back to researching. I have stock in NEON too, a quick google search will give a good QRD. Lawsuit going on for patent infringement on swipe to unlock technology, suing Samsung and AAPL. Payout would be like 10-30x current market cap I think. 

anon-187101

> some serious mental gymnastics is required only if you're not familiar with thinking about things from first-principles, lol first and foremost, we are having a debate that centers not only on an extreme proposition, but also an absurd one - so, the burden is on you to demonstrate how a situation where one would come to acquire all of the AAPL stock, USD, gold, bitcoin, etc. could *ever* come to pass. spoiler: it wouldn't. but, just for shits/giggles, let's assume it happened. you are the sole owner of all of the world's gold. I contend that, *at most*, the value of that pile of metal would be equal to ~5% of its current market cap, which reflects its utility value. the other 95% of its value, which is derived from its monetary properties would instantly vaporize because money derives its value via ever-developing network effects, and a network of *one* (you) is no network at all. please point out the contradiction.

Nailedit81

Nope but it’s risky. I have an algorithm I follow where you could easily do that with 1k options trade per day trading only AAPL. If you have the remaining money in your account then you can say trade without restrictions

ShanayStark7

So first thing, it is not a one-to-one contract. The person who buys your (sold) put is not the same person whose shares you buy if assigned. The assignment process is handled by the options clearing corporation (OCC), dealing with brokers. Now for example, you sold a 250 AAPL put expiring 12/27. If AAPL finishes at or higher than 250 (at expiration, 5:30 PM EST, I think), regardless of who you sold the put to, you will be assigned the (100) shares at expiration; the shares would actually be in your account a day after or Monday depending on your broker’s clearing house. This is because your short option is being “assigned” to someone who chose to exercise their long option (a put, in this case, to sell the shares to you at the 250 strike). Also, related to your question. American-style options can be exercised early (so you can be assigned early). European options (to the best of my knowledge) can only be exercised at expiration. I am not a professional so please also do your own research. Hope this helps!

GraceBoorFan

Exactly. Post like these are useless. Not only that, he was buying stocks when their P/E ratios were fairly sane a decade or more ago. You’d be foolish to buy stocks like AAPL today and hope for a 10X like the boomers got, not happening.

d33p7r0ubl3

He had to sell bro. Portfolio was too heavily weighted in AAPL for what his company does. Had to take some off the table

d33p7r0ubl3

The difference was that AAPL position was all Munger

Apprehensive-Move684

You’re shorting 11.5 dollars worth of AAPL stock? Right.

Hmm I wonder why AAPL and MSFT have never moved +/- 3% daily but NVDA always seems to

Yep, AAPL looking to Theta fuck all option holders today

AAPL the one true king of the Naz, new ATH 💪.

PLTR and AAPL are top heavy, but I just can't bet against them.

What are my moves today? Nothing. Already long AAPL, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN. My screen is green. Wonderful color!

QuantAGI

Only puts I'd buy right now are AAPL puts because this actually looks like a near term top today. Same signal I got last December before it faded -10% over 3 weeks

fkh24

AAPL has a higher forward pe than nvda. Bullshit. AAPL puts for me.

MuchCombination1553

I started investing about 4 years ago and was super tech stock heavy like you. AAPL and MSFT were the core of my portfolio. I realized I was too heavy in these and started to flow my cash into VOO, the SP500 ETF. Yes there's over lap, but if you continue to contribute you start to spread the weight out. I still own these are up over 100% on them! Sell TTWO, Buy VOO, and open a Custodial Roth IRA.

Sanpaku

Each of these 10 are consumer facing. Most of us have some experience with or opinion of their products. Palantir sells intelligence support software for law enforcement investigations, military targeting, and corporations spying on their employees. Maybe if you're in the IDF and the Palantir software spits out which coordinate to bomb, you might have experience with their products. But I've no idea whether its products are cost-effective, or effective at all (rather than just generating lots of false leads) Also key, rank these and Palantir by revenue (TTM): 1. AMZN 620.1 B 2. AAPL 391.0 B 3. GOOG 339.9 B 4. META 156.2 B 5. NVDA 113.3 B 6. TSLA 97.1 B 7. INTC 54.2 B 8. AMD 24.3 B 9. GME 4.3 B 10. HOOD 2.4 B PLTR with revenue of 2.6 B, have less sales than the meme stock Gamestop.

thekid0119

They need to weight SPY more towards TSLA. Get into AAPL territory

Wonder how he likes his sale of AAPL at about $180 earlier this year?

Putting it all in AAPL and not looking until next year. Happy holidays everybody!

My guess is, TSLA gonna lead the market before Christmas; AAPL will take over after Christmas.

Bought back AAPL around 255.3, it is set to explode to upside for this week.

Blue horseshoe loves AAPL

lucidum-intervallum

AAPL quietly approaching $4T, preparing the way for NVDA to follow

Effective-Nerve2475

I like this strategy. So basically you’re betting that it’s unlikely the stock will hit the strike that’s way OTM but even if it does you’re okay being put the shares because it’s a good company in the first place? And if you have some doubt you could just roll out further I guess. Am I missing something? For example AAPL 17 APR 25 at 315 P is bidding at $58.20 a share (!!!) and the thought is no chance it hits $315 by April but if it does who cares cause it’s Apple plus I made 22.8% selling tue put?

AAPL $280 call LEAPS with the cash from my 1/17 $250's

chatrep

You can certainly do that and spy has the options liquidity for this. The etf XYLD is a basically SPY that writes covered calls. One thing that always surprised me is that XYLD tends to underperform SPY. https://portfolioslab.com/tools/stock-comparison/XYLD/SPY But you are talking very small amounts. Maybe 3% extra APR. for me personally it’s not worth it and with my index fund holding that is more “set and forget” mentality for me. Also depends on tax implications. If a covered calls gets exercised and you all of a sudden have realized gains, may be an issue. With high quality stocks like AAPL, Meta, GOOG, NVdA, etc. you can probably get closer to 20% APR with low deltas. Higher volatility stocks like PLTR might get you closer to 30-40% apr. of course higher risk of exercising even with low deltas. Also, if you are looking to enter a position, the premiums on cash covered puts are even better.

AAPL

UnicornSquadron

Nvda could be or couldnt be. The growth is baked in, thats why its up 400% since May 23’. AMD could catch up or the big companies bought everything they needed, so nvda rev goes down. AAPL…prints money sure. Its not making anything new though. No new growth = s&p basically or worse. AMZN is for me the only big tech contender. With the vastness of their reach via difference sources, they can integrate everything cohesively and do it all with great margin. AMZN and GOOG both have data centers, both have great AD rev, amzn is investing in space, goog is investing in quantum. Both do cloud and sell consumer data at large scale. Both can run and I believe both will, who does it better? Unsure but you can’t go wrong with either. Goog has more of a moat with Youtube and Chrome and Google search. AMZN has a logistical moat with the infrastructure and warehouses. AWS is one of if not the best cloud compute. Also has the moat with amazon shopping. You could pick your poison on the two, technically goog is undervalued, but amzn could be to compared to a couple years from now.

Confident_Pie_70

You're heavy weighted in large cap tech. Sell the AAPL. It's market share has already got as big as it's getting. It would take an insane amount of money for them to go up 20% compared to a smaller large cap stock due to their current markets cap. I think long term AAPL is only going to lose market share unless they come out with something new soon. Consider Russell2000 for diversity, Hims, Celcius, Sofi, maybe 1-2% in silver or crypto to hedge current economic inflation. Most importantly, do your research before you invest your $. Best of luck!

FrostyGuarantee4666

Yeah well they’re still getting lucky. You never know if a company is going to go bankrupt or if the CEO is going to get indicted for embezzlement or some companies just quit preforming despite their stellar balance sheets like Nike. Or if a merger is blocked and the company dies see: Spirit. Or if you’re a POS CEO and blame your company’s failings on theft instead of stupidity like Target. Of course GOOGL and AAPL will outperform the S&P. Or insanely overvalued shit like TSLA. Or dipshit cult followings like GME that’s failing financially but cultists don’t care for some stupid reason so the stock price is at least 3x what it should be.

ABadPhotoshop

NVDA is going to see massive growth in the next two years because they’re the main player for AI hardware AAPL prints money AMZN has multiple channels of revenue (AWS, prime, etc) What makes you so bullish that you’d tie all your money in one company when there are so many great tech companies with growth prospects? Seems like unnecessary risk

MistakeTraditional38

GOOGL (and AAPL) behave better and with less volatility than TSLA....in the long run. Friday afternoon we still didn't have a budget deal in the Senate. \[ I own GOOGL (about 6 shares) but no longer own AAPL. \] Monday morning should be a flat open. TSLA, GOOGL and AAPL together are so big they behave in total like the Nasdaq 100 or the S&P. The S&P moves when macroeconomic issues like the Fed or the budget move. TSLA lives and dies with the switch to EVs which is political.

freeState5431

MSFT, AAPL, ORCL, ADBE, NVDA are my five long term reasons

Heyhayheigh

Picking stocks is fun. And concentration is good for wealth building as long as you have the right mindset. I try to automate as much as I can. And having some favorite blue chips with auto weekly investment just feels right to me. Plus I have never trusted mutual fund and ETF expense ratios. Yes ETF’s are the largest foundation of what I hold for the sake of diversification and simplicity. But 1,000 of AAPL 20 years ago is $500k today. Granted I understand the true risks to such high returns. But again. Super fun :)

BaBaBuyey

AAPL 2007 or 08 added to; NVDA 2019 sold way too much over 4 years

chatrep

It can be a bit subjective on what time frame to look at… Here is a 90 year chart. https://www.macrotrends.net/2577/sp-500-pe-ratio-price-to-earnings-chart I believe we are currently at about 28. I would say a better figure is around 20 and I personally would be comfortable at around 20-23ish. So 28 is high but not outrageous imo. But I keep seeing earnings meeting or beating and still strong. So was just painting a scenario where 2025 earnings outpaces stock appreciation and we see some PE compression. Maybe we pull back to 25. Even if you just look at some of the major contributors like NVDA… current PE is 53 but forward PE is 30. AAPL goes from 42 to 34. We are nowhere near .com bubble where we approached 50.

Options_Trader_1964

Mostly the High IV with excellent short premium and great liquidity NVDA, TSLA, and CRWD have been my main go tos the second half of the year as they combine great IV with a major uptrend, although the spreads on CRWD can be challenging at times to say the least. Tried to exit a winner Friday on CRWD but the arb was ridiculous. AMZN and AAPL are just steady grinders where you won't always get the best premium but don't mind getting assigned and selling CCs. MSTR is just insane and the only one that realy gives me pause, it doesnt seem real which makes it fun. A couple weeks ago the 1/17 1080 Calls were at $900 with MSTR at $400 ???? A week later you could buy back at $500 or lower. Nuts. I use XLU, TLT, and SLV mostly as they are non-correlated with stocks and SLV usually has great IV. I trade SPY on major declines, like last Aug 5 when SPY opened at 510 over the Yen carry trade, I immediately sold many 400 puts for around .73 each and bought back a few days later for around .10 if my memory is correct. Just a safe vol trade on a stable index.

Kitchen-Tie-7486

Tim AAPL will be first to $4 trillion..$5 trillion will come faster

RddtAcct707

If you buy the best stock, it has the best return. Whether the highest return of any one stock is 10% or 10,000%, it’s the highest. Rate of return also isn’t the only measure. AAPL may not have the best decade coming up but there’s a 99.9% chance it’s not going out of business.

TomatoSpecialist6879

Most European government admits they're in a recession in everything but verbally(they allude to it), so there's that. But let's be honest, TSLA car sales news are just bear traps at this point, TSLA hasn't been a 'car company' for the last 4 years, otherwise their stock prices would be tepid at best with their small EV selection. Despite TSLA spending years trying to emulate AAPL and make themselves the go-to brand of EV world, car dudes don't work like that and people stopped caring about the brand. Only "bull point" is TSLA has been strong arming and coaxing other EVs to adopt their charging tech, that way they'll become the de facto juice provider instead, but that's not working well neither. Everything points to the stock being overvalued garbage, which is exactly why calls are the best choice. Buying TSLA is essentially betting on Musk's ability to grift through everything. So far, that very ability has made a lot of people rich.
