AAPL

Maine2Maui

Lots of shitting on MF. Yet to the man none are following the approach espoused by them, which is long term. So the comments are BS because they don't follow the approach. Even Buffett has had his share of turkeys and it's well known that stocks blow up and then often rebound. Yet, he holds them long term. Use MF, SA, any service as lead generation, then do your own research. Read The Intelligent Investor and learn to think critically. DONT believe the claim that no fund manager ever beats the SP consistently it's false. Numerous have from Bill Miller to Will Danoff at Contrafund to others, though lots of others are turkeys. If you are comfortable with being average and having lower risk just go Boglehead. You'll never beat the market but that's OK for many. Too many here clearly don't understand what they are doing and just speculate chasing short term gains. It's NOT a game. Most work too hard to invest like they are gambling. Need a strategy, here's an easy one. Put 90% in ETFs that will average your risk and reward aka ride the wave with the masses whether it peaks or blows up. If you then have the orientation, get educated, do the hard work and use the 10% to invest in some smart individual stocks. If you are like most, some will grow and some will not. Unless they blow up, give them time to recover if the investment thesis holds. 5 years is good. 3 months is mostly bullshit and is not investing. BTW, I've invested for almost 50 years following getting degrees in economics and business and doing what I recommend here. I retired at 45 the first time because this worked VERY well for me. I also then started multiple businesses which had a 50% success rate, ie half failed, half succeeded. I learned early to spread my bets, live economically and continue investing in good or bad times. ALL learned from Ben Grahams books. I retired fully again at 55 in Hawaii and just enjoy life. No one builds a business or investment portfolio over night, and few over the short term unless they get lucky. Lots of people made big money on NVDA AMZN, GOOGL, AAPL, others buying in early and holding on. I did some myself and got some of those from Jim Cramer. But I did my own research from there. Do your own homework or just buy mass ETFs. You'll never stand out but you can still get rich. Time in the market, constantly saving and investing are probably responsible for 50-60% of returns.

The market makers are going to use MSFT and AMZN bounces to run the indexes even higher. AAPL might also be used to boost the rally.. Dude major major tech stocks are are multi year lows.. those going up are gonna push indexes with them. Good luck tho.. cant knock the conviction

PhysInstrumentalist

I wouldn’t be making decisions until the market opens Monday. But as of now, my plan is to do AMAZON and AAPL calls <week; maybe jnj too and go from there. If I see things edge quick, prob good for a 2-3 week put midweek

snkrhd44

Idev.  I personally just hold idev or another version of it for 80% of my portfolio and invest in very specific US equities (AMD, AAPL, RKLB, etc) for the other 20%.

AAPL, MSFT and GOOD are in a league on their own in terms of earnings stability. ps: Would be nice to have TSMC and ASML in the comparison.

Per Yahoo finance: 5-Year Return on AAPL: 108.60% S&P 500 (^GSPC): 78.35%

MagnesiumKitten

wald: just holding AAPL since April 2024 has yeilded a \~30% annualized total return compared to \~17% for SPY. Even without trying to time the market it has outperformed. That is a more than acceptable return. Yeah that's 26 months, and you could have done similar in 8 months .......... And you could have just as easily bought in April 2024 at $170 sold in July 2024 for $230 within 3 months with 25% profit in 90 days, where you're taking over two years ........... When you have a decent valuation and see a good opportunity for it being significantly undervalued and notice the overall health of the stock from that it's future performance, you can pretty easily wait since you've noticed the momentum as well, which could help the timeframe you have to wait in that sector

Walden_Walkabout

If you have the prescience to be able to pick the tops and bottoms of the market you absolutely could make lots of money off volatility, but my personal opinion is that is a fool's errand. Volatility happens due to uncertainty in the market and the inherent unpredictability of the many factors businesses face. It is very easy to look backwards and say when to buy and sell, much less easy to do it in a forward looking manner. In the meantime, just holding AAPL since April 2024 has yeilded a ~30% annualized total return compared to ~17% for SPY. Even without trying to time the market it has outperformed.

Sushi_in_my_booty

Sexbots are gonna kill the whole prostitution industry. And since Wendy’s are all closed we are gonna have to give handies behind the Bed, Bath & Beyond… wait…. Damn it…. There’s no place to make a decent living anymore but at least being homeless I can still look at this screen with unlimited porn and despair. So actually instead of Puts on the AI bubble. Calls on AAPL because I’m just gonna insulate my cardboard home and block out the road noise with the newest AirPods.

Pure_Forever_8222

I don’t know how you come out of this situation, but I know what it’s like to be a gambler. I had nowhere near the credit to obtain 80k but over the last 10 years I have amassed more than 10k debt from trying to “flip” options which is just a losing gambling game. The best flip I had was my last 50 turned to 5k on AAL call options during the pandemic recovery. I then flipped that to 12k over an AAPL call play. I then started venturing into TSLA calls and got emotional and it turned into your exact same trade. (Lost it all). All while I was doing this, I told myself I would really love to leave the “casino” take these profits and learn how to just trade basic stocks. I got too greedy and now I’m back to learning stocks. I see you’re learning too. The fact that you said, “Alright let’s try 100 shares this time instead, shows recovery. I even downgraded my account to remove options privileges. Options will NOT be our downfall in 2026. I pray for your recovery brother.

JabriniSandwich

Agree. They did the same thing to AAPL. Way oversold and then bounced. At minimum, you get a technical bounce from here.

theummeower

If the market dips I expect AAPL to become a haven

WiseIndustry2895

AAPL is supposed to pull back but it keeps going up

Marlov

Yeah fair call brother. I really like RDDT here. Selling puts has such amazing asymmetry at this level. I bought shares today but will probably go full degen on Monday and buy some 1 year 300 calls. I don't think $400 is a crazy target in the next six months if tech sentiment turns. It's unusual to have a high growth tech company with no debt, massive revenue and earnings growth and a reasonable forward PE. Dont get me wrong this isn't AAPL but there's great risk reward here, especially given the fact the stock has already seen high 200s and fundamentals have only improved since

Everyone selling all their AAPL they bought this week to buy other MAG7

WillTheGreat

I can see AAPL going red by close. It was teasing a slight sell off during overnight/premarket. It's up what? 6% while the market was down all week. I can see it regressing to the mean. I bought some 277.5p lottos in the off chance it closes 274-275 which the weekly chart is suggesting.

WillTheGreat

AAPL's method is basically watching developers build out full communities, only to find that no one is moving in, and buying up all the foreclosures for pennies on the dollar.

f0king

Going into the tech earnings a couple weeks ago I was half AAPL, half MSFT. Guess which one I dropped and which one I decided to full port for no fucking reason at all?? clown behavior

GOOG is pissing me off. Wish I had stayed in AAPL

Cant believe I sold BA and AAPL to buy MSFT and AMZN both pre earning. Fuck I am retarded.

Should’ve just fucking bought AAPL and believed in the Becky economy 😔

mtnrnnr802

I’m telling you. AAPL is going to go on a run similar to GOOGL.

SangerGRBY

Stock market wizard Elon Musk. King of empty promises and fraud, I am truly impressed at what he managed to deliver. I genuinely have no idea how TSLA is part of the Trillion market cap club: 1. NVDA: GPUs, Crypto Mining, AI 2. AAPL: iPhones, Mac 3. MSFT: Windows, Azure, Office, enterprise monster 4. GOOGL: Can't avoid using GOOGLE products for more than a day 5. META: Social media empire, Ad monster 6. AMZN: AWS 7. TSLA: Empty promises and sex dolls?

GringottsWizardBank

The market is in schizo mode. One week everyone is shitting on AAPL because they aren’t spending a lot and are behind then the next week everyone is shitting on the hyperscalers for spending too much on something with a less than clear ROI. Its insane.

manoman42

Why is AAPL and goog red still

Arrowhead_Pride15

Consumer purchase power will have a negligible effect on AI/data center construction. MSFT Azure is growing 38% yoy capacity capped. Those are business/enterprise customers, not retail consumers. Same w AWS and Google Cloud, they are building data centers to support business use cases of AI, enable researchers to have all of the high end compute they need, and to solidify our lead in the AI race (and technological progress generally) over all global competitors. Also in GOOGs case, they need Gemini capacity because they are putting it everywhere. Gemini will be the new backend of Siri, ensuring that Gemini AI is the default native AI on ALL modern smartphones. That doesn't directly cost the consumer anything, it's AAPL and GOOG "paying for" it, but both are profit juggernauts and taking these actions to increase their market share and build moats against competitors. Also for all the drama around Anthropic being a threat, Anthropic is also a customer. Anthropic pays AWS, Azure, and G Cloud for compute and to rent GPUs/TPUs specifically. GOOG and AMZN also both own 10%+ of Anthropic each, so the idea that Anthropic will put pressure on Gemini/Co-Pilot/ChatGPT may well be true, but they hyperscalers will still benefit directly and indirectly from the demand for compute

Le7emesens

Analysts and people not understanding technology and acting out of fear. It's a great opportunity to move in, bit only if you believe in AI long run. In 2012's, fear of smartphone market saturation and Apple's antenna gate caused AAPL to plunge close -20%. Those who listened to this nonsense stories and sold lost $$. Those who saw thru the fear got rewarded. Then in 2016, Buffet invested into AAPL, the rest is history. Similar story with Autodesk ten years ago who made a landmark move in the CAD industry, switching to a subscription model. Folks who understood the future and sticked around got rewarded.

flatfisher

Consumer staples are killing it, only software/AI is getting hammered. Even AAPL is up 8% this week

vsvpjr

Hey fam! Sorry in advance for the long post. Last month my wife and I had our firstborn, and friends and family gifted him some cash. Growing up, my parents were new to this country from a third world country working hard and using every penny to put food on our table and keep a roof over our head, and they never thought to open some sort of savings account for my sister and I. All our gift money was sort of put in a “piggy bank” and over time used for necessary expenses. I had decided a while back that I am going to do something different for my kids and set them up for financial success, and have something built up for them in case they want to buy a house or a car or even pay for school when time comes. I didn’t like the idea of a 529 plan since the funds have to be used for educational expenses. Instead, I decided to open a UTMA account through Fidelity and invest the money. This is basically a long term investment, at least 18 years if not more. As of now, with my very limited knowledge and experience with the stock market & investing, here is a breakdown of the portfolio: 60% - VOO 15% - VXF 10% - VXUS 3% - FBTC 2.5% - AAPL 2% - MSFT 2% - GOOGL 2% - V 2% - COST 1.5% - NVDA I would love to get some feedback if what I did was smart, or what any of you might have done different for your child? I just based these investments on somewhat of a safety net + what I believe in! There is currently $2500 invested with the breakdown I gave (down to about $2437 this last couple says) and my wife and I will be depositing $500 into this account monthly at least until he turns 1 and God willing longer than that, and all his gift money will go into this as well. And like I said, I don’t have too much knowledge about any of this and am new to investing myself. Thanks in advance!

This is completely false, I can't stand the internet is filled with false information. First of all you can't calculate the top 10 for the last 10 years because the "top 10" changes everyday. Second If you take the current top 10 you will find out that article is shit: SPX - 250% NVDA - 27.000% TSLA - 2.800% AAPL - 1.000% AVGO - 2.200% GOOGL - 800% MSFT - 650% META - 500% AMZN - 650% WMT - 500% BRK-A - 280%

Mobile_Collection646

Everything is priced in. Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That's already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don't already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil's expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc. Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post on wsb asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.

I’ve always found it really strange how stocks move around based on news - like people hear it and immediately run to their computers or whip out their phones to buy or sell. What? AAPL CFO retired - better sell! Then the next day a new product release - better buy them back!

Successful-Tea-5733

I'm not ignorning the capex. I understand that is the reason they are selling off. Obviosuly the investors think that will have a negative weight on future earnings, even though the board expects it to increase earnings (hence why they are doing it). But that has nothing to do with Q4 earnings that were just released, which by and large have been fantastic. So the falling share price simply means the P/E is dropping. There's no P/E that justifies buying a bad company. The point is if you believe these are good long-term companies (AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, etc) whose shares were overpriced and are dropping due to fears about future earnings, now you have a chance to buy them at maybe a 20 P/E instead of a 50 P/E.

GrassOrAss954

AAPL, WTF man. Figure it out and pick a direction. Sideways is not acceptable.
