AAPL, NVD-GUH and Jamie D all dumping in unison can’t be good for SPY 🥺
If: CapEx Then: Apple (AAPL) Already priced in?
He de-risked. He bought AAPL and MSFT.
So if they’re buying AAPL and MSFT that would be a good sign, right?
I find that difficult to believe. First, most 13fs are filed 45 days later because that’s the deadline. Second, according to his filing, Thiel already reallocated into AAPL and MSFT, so would have to sell those to buy back in. If the goal was to create negative sentiment, it makes no sense to buy other AI-exposed tech stocks and risk losing money before buying back into NVDA. That would be stupid, risky, and counterproductive. Third, SoftBank said they were using the proceeds to invest directly in OpenAI. If they don’t do that, they are going to be in a world of shit with their investors.
I should of kept my 270p AAPL for 11/28…sold it for a tiny profit on Friday
Thiel bought AAPL and MSFT SoftBank sold NVDA **to invest that money into OpenAI** Burry is a clown who is wrong all the time The government is putting money into AI What am I supposed to be reading again?
AAPL bloodbath today Buffe dont have a trust in this company anymore...
Hello everyone, Symbol % of Portfolio AAPL 23.9% AMZN 28.1% GOOGL 36.6% SHOP 2.4% PLTR 3.9% NVDA 2.8% this is my first trade and am kinda clueless, Am not based on the US and no one in my immediate circle even trade, looking to expand more tolerance is mideum.
multiple reasons. Latest catalyst Berkshire just bought sizable stake. Which is notable, cause Berkshire historically doesn't usually buy tech.. They've bought AAPL, but thats because viewed it as consumer product
AAPL is waiting on AI hype to die down before jumping on the bandwagon.
So, as of that 13F (September 30th) his holdings are entirely in TSLA, AAPL, MSFT. I mean it's not any kind of a rotation out of tech or AI, just a rotation within tech and AI...
'Member when AAPL hit 1T? "Some investors may worry the most valuable company reaching these new heights could portend a significant drop is ahead like during dot-com technology bubble." That was in 2018. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/02/apple-at-a-trillion-dollar-valuation-isnt-crazy-like-the-dot-com-bubb.html

There is NO AI bubble, but if you are still concerned, park in AAPL, META (due to its current pricing) and TSLA.
lol removed by moderator? Did someone from a large firm contact their paid mod to yank the story, because this week wasn't meant to be a negative-news week to help shore up exit liquidity? --- For those that missed it: ### Peter Thiel dumps top AI stock, stirring bubble fears Peter Thiel dumps top AI stock, stirring bubble fears A quiet selloff raises fresh questions about AI’s surge. By Moz Farooque Edited by Celine Provini It comes at a surprising point when Wall Street’s been busy declaring the chipmaker as virtually untouchable. Although Nvidia recently surpassed a $5 trillion valuation, Thiel walked away completely, shrinking his fund’s equity book by roughly two-thirds while building it around three megacap names. That’s far from being a rebalance and more of an emphatic statement. Thiel had previously warned about AI’s hype cycle running far ahead of its real economics, and his Q3 portfolio shakeup aligns with that view. Peter Thiel co-founder of PayPal Inc addresses the Republican National Nominating Convention. Who is Peter Thiel? Peter Thiel isn’t like a tourist wandering through the tech world; in fact, he has been instrumental in building the modern version of it. He co-founded fintech giant PayPal, ran it as CEO, and took it public before becoming the first outside investor in Facebook. Later, he co-founded the most popular defense AI company in Palantir, where he remains chairman, while helping turn Founders Fund into perhaps Silicon Valley’s most influential VC shop, that’s backed businesses such as the likes of SpaceX and Airbnb. On the investing side of things, he runs his hedge fund, Thiel Macro LLC, which held nearly $74.4 million in long U.S. stocks as of Q3, which is down remarkably from $212 million in Q2. Moreover, his personal net worth is an eye-popping $16.3 billion as of 2025. Thiel’s Q3 filing unveiled perhaps the sharpest pivots of any major investor in the tech space so far this year. While Nvidia continues to power through blowout quarters and leap past a $5 trillion market cap, Thiel Macro LLC heads in the opposite direction. The fund didn’t just trim Nvidia, it eliminated it. Over 537,000 shares, which represent nearly 40% of the entire portfolio, just vanished from the 13F. Vistra Energy, another 19% chunk, was wiped out as well. What raises eyebrows even more is what Nvidia has been doing with quarterly sales surging from $39.3 billion to $46.7 billion, spearheaded by a 56% bump in data-center revenues, with analysts modeling a shot at $1 trillion in annual sales by 2030. Collectively, Thiel’s disclosed equity book dropped from nearly $212 million in Q2 to just $74.4 million in Q3, an almost two-thirds reduction. Moreover, the fund’s turnover hovered over 80%, leaving just three holdings: Tesla, Microsoft, and Apple. Tesla was pared back to just 65,000 shares, accounting for nearly 39% of the book. Meanwhile, Thiel’s fund invested in Microsoft and Apple, accounting for 34% and 27%, respectively, of the portfolio. Here are Peter Thiel’s Q3 13F portfolio moves: Sold Entire Positions ``` Nvidia (NVDA) Shares sold: 537,742 Prior weight: 40.07% of portfolio Result: Exited fully Vistra (VST) Shares sold: 208,747 Prior weight: 19.08% Result: Exited fully New Positions Added Apple (AAPL) Shares added: +79,181 Portfolio weight: 27.08% Estimated avg. price: $219.89 Microsoft (MSFT) Shares added: +49,000 Portfolio weight: 34.09% Estimated avg. price: $502.61 ``` With Thiel Corp hitting zero with Nvidia, a clear message stands out in a market that has been obsessed with anything AI. Nvidia’s fundamentals have been explosive, and Thiel has praised that dominance, hailing Nvidia as the clear hardware leader. On the other hand, he has warned that the AI hype cycle is getting out of hand, comparing the moment to 1999, when investors priced in a future that would take roughly 15-20 years to unfold. He’s not alone, either. Jeff Bezos described the massive AI boom as an “industrial bubble.” Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon points to a 12- to 24-month drawdown. Similarly, legendary investor James Anderson called Nvidia’s $100 billion OpenAI financing idea “disconcerting.” Most recently, the Big Short’s Michael Burry has put massive put positions against Nvidia and Palantir. That’s why Thiel rotated into Microsoft and Apple, tech giants with more diversified revenue streams, cloud scale, devices, and software. Thiel feels AI is transformative but slow-burning, and the platforms, not the current pure-play chip rocket, offer economics that will actually last. --- Here's the 13F filing: https://13f.info/manager/0001562087-thiel-macro-llc
Warren Buffett just bought GOOG and he never buys stuff unless he plans on holding for like 5-10 years. Considering Thiel added MSFT and AAPL, this is just a rotation into other tech bluechips
GOOG and AAPL are literally the only 2 mega caps immune to the bubble lol…
GOOG and AAPL are literally the only 2 mega caps immune to the bubble lol…
Hats off to you on those call. Genuinely impressive. So, let me give you another analogy Buffett missed out on MSFT, (early) AAPL, GOOG, AMZN, TSLA, AVGO, NFLX, META(FB), easy investments that should have put BRK.A in the 2-3T company. Why because Buffett is mostly clueless about valuing Technology stocks because he doesn't have the correct model of Tech stocks. So, congratulations on all your past calls. Just like Buffett, You just don't know how to value TSLA/Elon. Accept that fact instead of calling stock market dumb. May be reflection time. I'd ask. "what am I missing" "How does the world look 10 years from now" and how does the greatest businessman of the last 25 years going to leverage the AI moment given he has access to massive capital achieve? FSD 14 is getting absolutely rave reviews. Starlink / SpaceX is a monopoly. xAI already caught up with frontier labs. He builds datacenters in 60 days when others take years. Given this track record why would you bet against him?
He actually bought MSFT and AAPL
Note that he didn't buy Google like Buffet did. Apple? Nope, can't go there. # Here are Peter Thiel’s Q3 13F portfolio moves **Sold Entire Positions** * **Nvidia (NVDA)** Shares sold: 537,742 Prior weight: 40.07% of portfolio Result: Exited fully * **Vistra (VST)** Shares sold: 208,747 Prior weight: 19.08% Result: Exited fully **New Positions Added** * **Apple (AAPL)** Shares added: +79,181 Portfolio weight: 27.08% Estimated avg. price: $219.89 * **Microsoft (MSFT)** Shares added: +49,000 Portfolio weight: 34.09% Estimated avg. price: $502.61 **Trimmed Positions** * **Tesla (TSLA)** Shares sold: 207,613 Change: –76.16% Portfolio weight after: 38.83%

A brainwashed idiot is always going to be brainwashed. Meanwhile I'll buy quality companies like GOOG, BRKA, AAPL that has always done buybacks, while you sit and cry about imaginary things about buybacks
everyone keeps repeating this for some reason. How on earth do you gather that MSFT is the only profitable AI company? Literally every Mag7 is an AI company (maybe not AAPL as much) and is highly profitable, especially Google who invented the very tech OpenAI (and in turn MSFT) is using, and is about to release the best model this week. The AI investments themselves have not returned profits, but the companies themselves are all the most profitable companies in the S&P.

There was no fear, just an irrational belief that stocks will always go up, forever. Then the 2000s came along and smacked everyone in the face. We are there, again, now. Example, I thought I was smart buying the dip in msft when it pulled back from $73 peak to $51 The PE was 34 Today it’s 36 and gates has been selling btw, Gates was also selling a massive amount of shares in 2000 Long story short: msft traded down to $13 by March of 2009 and I was not made whole until 2015!!!! 15 years to get to break even while invested in the greatest company in the world. This moment in time looks exactly like and rhymes perfectly with the year 2000 situation from a valuation perspective. Internet excitement, .com IPOs popping up every week, buzz worthy “ dot com” companies were being bid up to the stratosphere, as was MSFT, CSCO, AOL, YAHOO, the “pow” Three straight years of relentless declines The valuations of AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA are getting to be ridiculous META seems somewhat reasonable but it does seem very hard to find mega cap tech companies trading at 20 trailing PE This is why Gates sold a bunch of MSFT in q3 2025 as it was peaking at $550 This market really is at risk of a massive drop. And the higher it goes, the higher the fall will be. Unless, of course, we already topped out for a few years. We may have! We will see.
feel like you should remove AAPL and GOOG and replace it with ORCL and CRWV
Buffett rotating from AAPL into GOOGL looks weird on the surface, but makes sense. AAPL’s momentum has been flat for months, while GOOGL has strong AI-driven cycles.I usually check how similar past patterns behaved before shifting between names. AlphoraAI does that pretty well (expected return + win rate). Here’s the tool: [https://alpha-pilot.net/](https://alpha-pilot.net/)

I can not believe I had $50,000 and instead of investing in Mag 7 (GOOG, AMZN, AAPL) I put these in Webull and now I'm in 15,000 loss MAG 7 / BIG TECH are the easiest and safest stocks to invest money in. Rest is just noice tbh. I have learned my lesson now but in dilemma of whether to sell it and put in Big Tech now or wait for WEBULL to recover
Bill Gates selling 64% of his MSFT position is a bigger sign then BRK.B buying 1.62% of GOOG.. Buffett has also been selling $AAPL for years now.. What does that sign tell you? 🤔
I agree…NFLX seems to be showing good support around 1100. Might come crashing down at some point though long term due to high valuations but it’s a great one to trade because it has well defined patterns. It’s very different from AAPL which gets thrown off course constantly by company announcements.
I couldnt believe it at first, needed a few days to let it sink in. So AAPL is legit selling socks for $250? OH LAWD WE ARE SO FUCKING COOKED.
Maybe you did not catch up with the complete news. Many use a margin account, and as of now, people have borrowed a lot to invest. This is why we see a lot of swings up and down. Added to that the leveraged etfs. It is insane to think about 5x and 10x how they move...!! Plus, many are using AI trading, which is also insanely crazy. You don't have to buy AAPL or GOOGL; one goes up all go up.
here is the complete list: [https://whalewisdom.com/filer/berkshire-hathaway-inc](https://whalewisdom.com/filer/berkshire-hathaway-inc) Bought GOOGL, Sold some AAPL, BAC and VRSN. No change in UNH or AMZN. I would open a small position in GOOG and Time to go all-in with UNH and AMZN :)
📢 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: $AAPL Apple Prepares for Tim Cook to Step Down as Chief Executive as Soon as Next Year - FT
Looking at this wrong. Better take puts in AAPL as it breaks $260 and no earlier than that. You are looking at the stock that went flat for 6 months. Even if you right, institutions make the distribution consolidation sequences obnoxiously long in order to secretly offload everything without changing price. Then use $260 as a mental stop loss.
You not starting over. Says you have $105k buying power and $230k or something overall. Stop investing in speculative AI and tech stocks, their valuation far exceeds whatever their actual earnings may be, AI & quantum computing is 99% buzzwords and vibes at this point: instead of playing high risk, no reward, go long with AAPL. Low risk, virtually guaranteed rewards. $300 calls or $290 calls with expy set Jan 2027. When AAPL hits $325 - $330 in Dec, go ahead and reap massive profits. Wait for it to come down a bit, then buy stocks of AAPL to HODL long. Going to $350 or $400 by EOY 2026, no doubts about it, and less susceptible to market hemorrhaging or AI Bubble bursting.
Bill Gates sold-17mill shares of $MSFT Buffet sold 14 mill shares of AAPL Buffet bought 17mill shares of GOOG
He also sold AAPL at 220 and bought UNH at 380 avg …
He still has hella AAPL holding, just taking profits, apple AI is ass
He sold more AAPL than he bought GOOGL...
When AAPL is at $200-220: sell sell sell
WARREN BUFFET sold more of $AAPL, bought $GOOG NO $UNH Buy or Sell!!
Google is now Berkshire Hathayway's #10 overall position. AAPL is still #1, although they dumped another 40,000,000 shares last quarter. https://preview.redd.it/cqhdyj7kha1g1.png?width=1282&format=png&auto=webp&s=b58fc82e757c392ffe7c64f157f9add72cb270c3

I had been doing options on LUNR and AAPL. I made out well on the AAPL call when it made its golden cross, run up from under 220 to 270. I took a gamble on NFLX and got screwed when they missed earnings - that was my big mistake and the one that made me rethink what I was doing. I basically wiped out all my profit making a dumb decision so I wanted something that was a little more controllable and consistent.
Try to stay green AAPL.
AAPL stuck on that 4T valuation
Black Friday Deal: Apple (AAPL) CapEx spending: Google (GOOGL) Gemini to power Siri for a billion dollars a year. Most companies are spending tens of billions on AI.
AAPL is ATH, we ain't crashing.
In my personal opinion: HOOD 130C 12/12 AMD 260C 12/5 NVDA 195C 12/5 AAPL 280C 12/5 TSLA 410C 430C 440C 450C 475C 11/21 & 12/5 AMZN 245C 12/12 SPY 685C 12/12 GOOG 290C 12/19 or 12/26 MSFT 525C 12/19
Deal of the day: Apple (AAPL) CapEx spending: Google (GOOGL) Gemini to power Siri for a billion dollars a year. Most companies are spending tens of billions on AI.
I don’t think bears understand that the market isn’t actually inflated. When so few people have as much wealth as the .1% do, it leads to the over-commoditization of equities. No need to look further than AAPL, which has been remarkably stable in the midst of a “shaky” market. Nobody cares about fundamentals anymore and you can thank the fed for constantly backstopping the global economy and virtually eliminating any real risk.
Use this V to switch from $CRAP to $AAPL or something solid
>The indices look high, but mainly because the big hyperscalers are holding them up. And even those companies are trading at okay valuations. I don’t think they suddenly fall 20% from here. Likely not 20%, but if this correction continues, they will join the selloff at some point. That's when we can start thinking it might be over. Speculative names with no earnings like NBIS, CRWV have been destroyed. Quantum names, toast. Space? Garbage. Companies with no earnings have been slaughtered. Yet, AAPL, GOOG, AMZN are hanging on and keeping the indices afloat. Either this pullback ends very soon and we head back to new highs, or the correction deepens and those names ultimately get hit. No way to know which will happen. Either way, the longer-term trend will be intact, even if we have a 10% correction when all is said and done.
Yikes even AAPL isn't standing strong anymore
AAPL is usually pretty good
Apple (AAPL) CapEx spending: Google (GOOGL) Gemini to power Siri for billion dollars a year. Most companies are spending tens of billions on AI.
Time for perspective I guess so for the 1 year charts AMZN +8% AAPL +20.5% MSFT +17.5% GOOGL +56.25%, NVDA +22.75% TSLA +17% META +3.7%
Well there goes that lotto idea on AAPL…thought 272 would hold
AAPL busy acting like it has done something relevant in the past 10 years.
What is there to short at VIX this high? Maybe $AAPL?
AAPL like AI crash? What’s AI
AMZN, GOOG, AAPL, still pretty damn strong
It’s a lotto, what you expect. AAPL couldn’t even break 272 with how much yesterday was getting killed. Plus the open interest and volume on 275 and 277 is a lot
The good thing about these drawbacks is how fair value stocks perform compared to the broader market. GOOGL, AAPL, AMZN. Holding anything else when sentiment turns is not a smart move.
If ya’ll want a free lotto…275c for AAPL today…@.10x10 —-at most you lose 100
Good news for people AAPL 272 seems like a strong support and I have puts on it
Great post and it seems that significant risk is concentrated within data centers or companies exposed disproportionately to those, depreciation and increasing debt. But to the bigger picture, not all bubbles are the same. There might be a big correction in PE ratios, but the AI giants are funding their growth with enormous cashflows (and very low leveraged debt overall, with one or two exceptions eg AAPL), so a correction is not going to lead to a credit crisis like 2008 (unless perhaps banks become increasingly exposed to the data centers?), or 2000 when billion dollar companies with no profit were valued on the promise of future profits which never eventuated. Present day AI companies have incredibly strong balance sheets. Also a question of how much the productivity gains will exceed Capex (debatable).
Hello retards, what do you think happens when hyperscalers shut off capex?? Nvda will go to 0, BUT rest of mag 5 will fuckin moon because they will be cash positive again. AAPL is the big winner here since AI is gay rn, meta is so cheap it’s retarded. Amzn gonna be fine. Goog might get cucked a lil but it will also be fine.
If you're bullish on AI, NVDA, otherwise AAPL
Across the board as in SPY and the MAG7 are dropping? Sure, yeah. But why tf did META shit it's dick out its ass the week prior to SPY and AMZN/MSFT/AAPL shitting the bed. And yet, META shits the bed just as hard and fast as the rest of them. It's like any reason to go red, and META fucking takes it.
I kindly request that all tech companies please do not come up with your shitty AI ideas and investments. Nobody needs that AI shit. Just be simple, without any innovation like Apple. See how well AAPL is doing. Again, please do not listen, join and go to that scammy **Salty Altman**.
AAPL didn't hit a trillion until 2018
I had AAPL back in April-May and everyone here was shitting about AAPL having no future no A.I or innovation I should have fucking held
AAPL is the **new gold**. A true hedge.
See now I feel bad that I shit on AAPL for not flying last week cuz now it’s the only green thing on my port lol
This led me to see when I first bought shares in some of my holdings. AAPL, 2009; AVGO, 2020, ROST, 2010; NVDA, 2016 & 2017; HD, 2010; plus others I was adding shares of NVDA, AVGO, and AMD in 2022 so I would take any in 2023.
y'all $AAPL, $AMD and $GOOG are basically at ATHs and y'all acting like we're crashing LOL
How is AAPL so resilient, shit needs to drop 3% tomorrow
I've unironically used this for quite some time and it worked great. Picked up AAPL back in the days when everyone was saying they are done for and the iPhone is no more. Picked up META aswell around the congress hearings when again everyone was saying that META is finished and is the new Myspace. At the moment I am honeslty holding cash and picking up some boring stocks like PFE, UPS and VZ when everyone is saying that they are done for
A year ago I would have said VOO. Today, I'd drop it all into BRK.B. The AI and Mag 7 concentration risk in VOO is too high, it's no longer a broad-market fund. 8% is NVDA. The Mag 7 account for almost 40% of VOO. BRK.B has very little Mag 7 concentration (8% AAPL), and no AI exposure except indirectly through their energy company investments. They've also got 38% of the fund in cash on hand to make targeted acquisitions if things move the wrong way, and they'll do a better job that than I will. I'm not moving out of VOO, but instead allocating to BRK.B to balance it out and hedge risk. Dropping a few targeted investments into NVO (3.5% dividend now), NKE and if I can get it at the right price META. Will probably sell covered calls on the individual stocks if they fall to lower cost basis.
BRK.B is a great alternative. They're heavily in cash (38%), not exposed to the Mag 10 (excluding 8% in AAPL), benefit from AI indirectly via their energy portfolio, and they set themselves up to buy a collapse with their cash hoard. They will do a better job of buying a crash than I would -- and if there's no crash, they generally tend to outperform the S&P anyways over time.
!banbet AAPL 278 1D
AAPL is gonna fuck me of I don’t sell these puts right? Doesn’t expire until 11/21
I made money cause my AAPL LEAPS IV increased even with the stock price dropping but I’m still scared.
Of course AAPL does not give a shit
