I need AAPL to moon, preferably $300 eoy

DonBonleone

I’m on AMD NVDA and AAPL calls. I did not mean for this to happen oops

Starkfault

Actually, if you want a good comparison, $FNGS has the same holdings as $FNGU but it isn’t leveraged. FNGS 1y: +41.67% QQQ 1y: +25.47% FNGU holdings are NVDA, NFLX, NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, META, CRWD, NOW, AVGO all weighted around 10%

Holding AAPL, AMD, NVDA calls this week, let’s get that bag boys!

btoned

I'm not searching but you know there's a few who mentioned NVDA and AAPL lol

murderface_ss

I bought a couple when it was beat down to hell, and I bought more Friday but they are mid September. Can’t say there’s much rationale with the AAPL. Needs some news to run probably. CRWV though… total degen play I went crazy buying 170s and 180s for next Friday when it was at 96 bucks last week, just looking for a bounce to 115-120 by midweek.

AirPod 4’s or the pros? I’m buying the AAPL store today

Don't think the market has digested the 300% semis tariffs comments yet. I don't think he's being flippant though the market still thinks he's bluffing as usual and will 🌮, but this time, he means it. The whole thing, along with the Intel news, is aimed to shift chip production and supply chains from Taiwan and S. Korea to the U.S. They're going to force NVDA, AMD, QCOM, AAPL, and others to use Intel foundries and then get a cut that will be deposited into the U.S. Sovereign Wealth fund. Obviously it won't happen overnight, but we're going to see some crazy moves by some of the big semis to reposition themselves in the next several months. I still stand by my prediction that INTC will see triple digits by 2027.

GOOG and AAPL CEO never went to the 1 million dollar per plate dinner that all the rest of the mag7 went to when mango hosted it for all the tech CEOs to kiss the ring. I've been berish about AAPL and GOOG ever since, and it worked out like I thought. Like you said, AAPL has finally kissed the ring, and it's just GOOG on the shit list. AMZN flirted with disaster a little bit bc bezos and mango publicly hated each other for a while, I'm not sure how their current ceo stands with mango.

Diamondhands4dagainz

If AAPL still had 50% YOY growth, its market cap would be past 4T already

CommandOk50

AAPL should be $130-165 a share. They haven’t grown earnings for a while. I still give them a 20-25 multiple for their balance sheet and ability to print cash consistently though.

callsonreddit

AAPL YTD -5% for a reason

Embassy_Sweets

\>blame the morons and actual cucks that vote for deregulation to rape them. To be fair, AAPL probably lobbied for that deregulation.

Happy_Discussion_536

He's done incredible things for AAPL?

jarMburger

It depends on your view of the stock and their expected moves. Last month I did put ratio spread on both AAPL and AMZN since I expect some weakness but not necessary big move to the downside. I did double calendar spread on GOOG since I wasn't sure what it'll do but expect mild move either way. Of course, I also outright bought call on CSCO and sold puts on AMAT and those went against me. 🙈

Short-Dependent7676

Stop trying to short UNH you regards. Remember what happened when Buffett bought AAPL and how many regards lost money from puts thinking it’ll go down right away?

cbusoh66

Kind of surprised the market shrugged 🥭comment about 300% tariffs on semi, especially in light of Intel stake news. This administration is going to upend the semiconductor supply chain as we know it. TSMC may be the big loser, but NVDA, AMD, AVGO, BRCM, even AAPL and others will soon be scrambling to figure out how to deal with 300% tariffs rate on importing chips and services from Taiwan, S. Korea, or Netherlands (ASML). I am sure these companies will eventually figure it out and adjust, but the next 6-18 months are going to be absolute chaos if he does enact these tariffs.

Just to confirm, are you playing stock rather than options? Stock is T+2, Options is T+1. I know the discussion about PDT affects both but this was posted in the options sub, so I'm wondering whether you're trading stock if your deciding to leave things in longer. In the current market with options I'm leaving positions live for less time now. I have a cash account and trade options, and T+1 in practice means that closing those trades before EOD clears me to cash that same night. So, if you are trading options, think constraints vs benefits if options: It's almost the other way round to how you're looking at it: Currently your ability to add 3% blocks and jump in and out is constrained more by the PDT rule than the by your cash availability. You can only trade the setups you see right now, and once done you're essentially locked out. You 'could' jump in and out, but, you can't actually, because you're constrained by your total weekly trade limit. So if you were making 3% a day, that's maybe 10% a week if you're super consistent with the PDT rule. You could logically do 3% every day with a cash account. For sure your suggestion would be perfect for many traders, full buying power all the time. But the broker is still standing you the cash to trade again with them on the hook for the settlement risk, though no different from current margin accunts except they limit their capacity to get burned by not letting you double-down and re-double-down in a day with the PDT rule. So it'll be interesting to see if they go ahead with it. But for sure, I would say, if you're trading options not stock, get a cash account. The removal of the trade constraint will definitely help rather than hinder. Just this last week you had AAPL run the whole of last Friday, a bunch of stuff moving this week, and UNH run all day yesterday on Uncle Warren's pickup. Just having cash ready to go for stuff like that makes it work.

Scary-Ad5384

I like that. My first 3 stocks I bought 15 years ago when I retired were SBUX, NKE and AAPL..why? Because I was having a coffee at SBUX wearing NKE shoes and was looking at my AAPL phone..Good luck 🍀 my friend

AnonMyracle142

I sold everything last year around November (all my AAPL shares and I’m not bullish on it long term, sold because I hated the Apple Intelligence plan and was up 100%, so I sold at a profit in disgust) and shorted about a month before the tariff crash for the first time, made an absolute killing (hit John Deere since I thought farmers would be hit hard by retaliatory tariffs, their stock collapsed insanely hard for this reason). My mistake was not getting back in/betting on a TACO. To anyone who says “DCA”: after the 1929 stock market crash, the market didn’t recover for not just a decade, but MORE THAN TWO. Major recessions and depressions can cause DEVASTATING losses that by the time you recover your losses, it’s too late. Inflation and age WILL take all of your hypothetical gains. There is NO 100% safe investment, even in the long run. “Gold is money, everything else is credit.” - J.P. Morgan The timing you said could very well be right but as others have said, it could come this fall. Almost all big crashes happen in the fall, no coincidence as to why: psychologically fear goes up when the weather cools. 1929, 1987, 2008.

ImakeBADinvestmentsx

1) did you bother to do any DD on unh? Buffet has a minimum 3-5 year period on stocks. Even management said it will take a while to turn around. Sinking margins, Doj fears, administration action and competitor sector. I'd cash out and wait and would expect a pull back from alot of profit taking. 2) $AAPL $ $GOOGL can both be impacted by the DOJ case..Apple can lose 30b in profits and Google Upto 40b in revenue. Let's hope amit Mehta the judge isn't crazy and breaks up google chrome aswell.

Dependent_Dark6345

You are already putting away about 12% of your income, which is solid at 24. A few things that could strengthen your setup: 1. Maximize your 401k match first. That is free money. 2. Keep building in FXAIX or another broad index fund. That is the long-term growth engine. 3. Limit individual stock picks to a smaller slice (10–15% of your portfolio). Tech names like AAPL, NVDA, PLTR are high risk and already make up a big portion of the index. 4. Consider Roth IRA if you qualify. Tax-free growth is valuable at your age. 5. Keep an emergency fund in cash (3–6 months of expenses) so you don’t have to sell investments in a downturn. You are off to a strong start. The next level is automating contributions and diversifying beyond just tech stocks.

21.5% MSFT + NVDA + AAPL… super diverse!

Just need AAPL to go up by like 35% or so in under a month, easy.

portfoliorating

WHY DID GRANDPA BUFFETT YEET AAPL TO LOAD UP ON UNH???? i am so perplexed 😕

wheres-my-take

forex is still risky and generally is also going to absorb a lot of this chaos. Plus its generally more expensive to utilize. There's not much that isn't accumulating risk right now. It also seems like you can pay extortion fees to this administration to maintain some security. Larger companies have shown they're willing to pay the bribes, like AAPL so it still seems like a decent hedge for most people. for now, anyways.

NasUS30

Just sell 16 shares of AAPL to have some cash buffer. Do 1 contract of CC on AAPL weekly at .15 delta and 8 contracts on NVDA. If price goes at strike roll it for the following week. Rinse and repeat. It might not be enough to live off tho so just look for a part time job as well.

Traditional_Ad_2348

Jackson Hole has been a bearish event the last few years. I don’t expect this year to be any different. The Fed should cut rates to help the lower end consumer, which was their stated goal when refusing to raise rates in the summer of 2021. At this point, higher rates significantly benefit the wealthy and inflation is raging irrespective of the Fed fund rate anyway. This is all just a massive mess that was brought about by a ridiculously overblown reaction to COVID. The COVID response was an attempt to paint Trump in a negative light since the Democrats were clearly ceding power to him after their failed Russia-gate debacle. Now Trump is back in power not only due to Biden’s falters and mental decline, but the Democrats’ poor choice of Kamala Harris as their candidate. All of this nonsense is just as much the fault of Democrats’ missteps as it is Trump’s incompetency. I have been increasing my crypto holdings and decreasing my equities exposure this past week. I don’t feel great about this market at all unless the companies I own are being supported by strong fundamentals (NVDA, PLTR, HOOD, MSFT, GEV) or are being run by CEOs willing to kiss the ring (looking at you AAPL).

floppy_panoos

Just speculation on my part but I think soon, we’ll see AAPL being forced into outsourcing chip manufacturing to Intel. Will it result in a better product? Probably not but that doesn’t matter anymore, not under this administration.

Those were the days when all anyone ever talked about was the now-banned gaming company ticker. It was entertaining, but a bit dull. I preferred the pre-2020 days. Speculative bets on ornamental gourds, losing inheritance on playing AAPL earnings, all the "FREE SHKRELI" posts, the videoclips from Moneyball that got recaptioned, etc.

Ostromilski

I'm looking for someone to call me an idiot. Yesterday and today I shifted my portfolio massively from "growth" to "maintain value". I use to have AMZN, MSFT, AMD, INTC, NET and a bit of AAPL. I also use to have some QQQ, and a much larger proportion of VOO. I no longer believe the current rate of growth is sustainable, and I've fully bought into the "we're in a giant bubble and it is inevitable that it will burst any day now" FUD. So, to that end, I sold all my direct tech stock holdings, and I also sold all my QQQ. I also lowered the amount I had invested into VOO by a good 60%. I still have some All-World ( forgot the ticker exactly now ), DAX, a polish ETF ( also forgot the ticker ) and the little bit of the S&P I have left over. The freed up money I split between Berkshire Hathaway B, and an iShares Physical Gold ETF. I'm really thinking 2026 is going to be a bad year, and I'm basing this on all the nonsense Trump has done, but also on the general state of delusion surrounding AI. I believe companies are taking actions on the premise of "we'll use AI instead", when actually the real reason behind it is because it's harder now for them to get money to do those things. Maybe it's all conspiratorial, maybe I'm just paranoid. Or, maybe I'm just an idiot :)

Constant-Dot5760

I worry about the connection to getting laid off (and sorry about that). Don't try to trade for replacement income but wheeling good high quality stocks is a staple activity for many in here. AAPL is way better than NVDA because its less likely to moonshot. If you're selling calls in NVDA and want to keep your shares go high OTM like 10 delta until you get used to it.

Impressive_Day_5969

The first stock I bought was AAPL. I went in without much thought and ended up holding through a dip that I did not see coming. After that, I found out moomoo has a paper trading feature, and I honestly wish I had used it first. It would have given me some practice and maybe saved me from that early loss.

Talon660

Well regarding the tax situation it is looking like he lost that bet at least for a while, and years of lost gains in AAPL aren't small. But he could have been right also.

The best part is yet to come: NVDA, AMD, QCOM, AVGO, even AAPL will be forced to move their fabrication to INTC fabs. That can happen through direct threat, intimidation, or tariff the shit out of Taiwan and TSMC.

Use a place like Fidelity or Robinhood that supports fractionals and buy on a weekly basis. At your age, it is not a bad idea to get you some super long term buy and hold. Some NVDA, some MSFT, AAPL. Whatever you like. The majority of the auto should be VOO or QQQM, granted. But at your age, get you some companies you like. Best of luck young buck!!

You're silly for thinking AAPL will accept lower margins. They are going to raise prices, the consumer will still buy, and the stock will continue to go up

I lived through the dotcom era. This is actually crazier. Just think: AAPL agrees to spend $100s of billions to build factories that will produce iPhones at a higher cost and with lower margins. So, the stock rallies $500 billion in 3 days. FED money printer is officially ON

Hmm, I have not heard about that so I'll definitely need some context Though for Buffett, consider a few things: - He's a very successful investor that is managing money at the scale of billions, his goals are to ensure capital protection for Berkshire, not to achieve monstrous gains - Trades he places are measured in millions or billions even, so consider his suggestions as someone taking on the perspective of an asset manager who cannot be agile in positioning, and makes decisions on a 5-10 year horizon What I think Buffett is suggesting is the death of US exceptionalism, but it might not be relevant to someone buying single stock names, as there are still strong growth names floating around in the US market. Consider also the fact that VOO is very heavily concentrated in the top 10 stocks by market cap (35% of VOO is 10 stocks), so he might be thinking of diversifying away from this investment theme of US stocks. Just check out his top holdings, he still holds a ton of American companies, AAPL included, so he might not necessarily be moving away from US stocks. Money managers like Buffett also possibly have different "pods" that invest in different themes based on their mandate (e.g. an AI themed ETF needs to invest in stocks that are "backed" by an AI investing theme). His diversification from VOO is a likely a very casual comment that has no serious meaning behind what his overall portfolio is actually doing.

‘Google is not paying much attention to’..? — Everyone is competing & paying attention to AI so not sure what you’re trying to say.. $NVDA is currently the leader by a long shot so hope that you have a position, it’s my second largest next to $AAPL and the most recommended pick for 2025..
