ngl AAPL looks good here for a $10 swing, no?

AAPL layoffs coming, calls?

chatgpt calculated if I sell dell 10/9 540 on Friday, it's $1.8k. AAPL and GOOGL are in the toilet so i have to suck up holding the shares

AncientRaisin4003

In 2012, AAPL had 27.5B shares outstanding (split adjusted). Today, they have 14.7B. That's a 45% reduction in the share count. You don't think that's been relevant to an Apple investor's performance over the past 14 years?

Ones you'd like to own or are good stocks. AMZN, GOOGL, HOOD, META. Had a chance to get LEAPS on HOOD around 85 just 2 months ago. Amazon would be tempted to full port LEAPS if it hits 190. Meta we had a chance to get LEAPS around 550 less than 2 months ago. I like tech stocks because those tend to drop more than the market during a big dip. AAPL dipped in June as well and everyone was writing Apple's obituary when it was 275. Again, it can be hard but honestly a good time to buy is when everyone is screaming "it's over!" and the fear and greed index hits around 20. LEAPS give you so much time the only thing that would wreck you is if we hit a 2+ year recession. Even the 2022 crash only lasted 8 months.

BeefyMcPissflaps

Absolutely no reason to short AAPL ahead of a bunch of new products and a game changing iPhone cycle.

I think one thing you're missing which was kind of hard for me to wrap my head around at first is that part of this is the underlying trust in the economic model itself. The same way you hold a dollar bill because you trust that someone will eventually give you something (let's say a can of soda) in exchange for that piece of paper, you hold a share of stock assuming that someone else will evaluate it as having value the same way you do. This is partially why the volume of shares matters. When you get to penny stocks with very limited liquidity (how frequently people are buying/selling), the price fluctuates all over the place (volatility) because there's no rules on what defines the price - any news or info can swing the price. But with AAPL, you can look at how much money the company literally makes each year (actual money, not company value) and there is so much market activity that you have an idea of what others will pay for it (for example, the P/E ratio). So you buy it because you think the company will make more money and ultimately people will buy that share from you for more money. To the house comparison, if someone was building a beachfront property in Malibu and offered it to you for $100, but you aren't allowed to rent it to anyone or live in it, you'd still buy it. Because you know, based on how the housing market values properties in that area, that you can sell that house for more than $1M. Even though you make no money from the house itself.

Weekly_One8412

Nah, I think you’re probably the right one. SPY and NASDAQ are seemingly about to drop and that’s when AAPL gets a steady little incline because it is treated as a hedge during market declines.

juliakeiroz

# 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.

tldamico

I'm ok with AAPL dumping if that means that everything else will pump. Just saying.

kooj80

So I guess with these big companies like AAPL we're just waiting for them to run out of major growth opportunities and then they're finally going to start pouring out massive amounts of dividends as a result of the cash they've accrued all these years?

niwmo

Absolutely! My AAPL puts paid off today.

ThanklessWaterHeater

If you don’t understand the point of capital gains, then, yes, investing in equities would definitely be confusing. Here’s an example: I bought 100 shares of AAPL for $6,500 in 2005. Those shares are now 5,600 shares worth $1.8 million. If I needed money to buy something I could sell a few shares. If I thought Apple in danger of going bankrupt, I could reinvest. But I don’t need cash, and I don’t think Apple is in any danger, filling bankrupt, so I will just continue holding, and in a few years, he shares will be worth $2 million, and then $3 million.

Yup, which is why I buy the long AAPL thesis that they’ll push open source Mac Studio and/or wait to partner with the eventual winner.

I'm a ber, but scalping AAPL calls here might be the move.

option-trader

That's the thing. It was only MSFT at $7.7B in net income in 1999. Today, MSFT isn't even first. You've got GOOG and NVDA beating MSFT by a wide margin. Then, you have AAPL on par with MSFT's net income. That's the difference. All 4 of these companies have very high margins. In 1999, MSFT was basically the only one with high margins. In terms of highest net income in 1999, companies like GE, F, XOM, and IBM all had operating margins below 15%. Big difference. There's 3x more cash flow for the current top companies today than in 1999 using 1999 value.

The only thing I know is that I’ve just invested 30 per cent of my personal fortune in NKE. Just yesterday. I made the mistake of selling AMD, INTC, MRNA, NVDA and AAPL too soon. This time, I’m going to believe that luck will be on my side, sooner or later… I’m going to be patient and uninstall my trading app

Mag6? are still making profits. I mean AAPL's ttm net income was $129B, NVDA's was $193B, GOOG's around $244B, META at $68B, and MSFT at $134B. That's $768B in net income over the last 12 months for these stocks. Market can't drop when there's $700B in net income still coming in.

AAPL puts this week is a cheat code

Sufficient_Habit5091

Bru... what do you mean unsuccessful? I said lose to the underlying. That means if you wheel AAPL for example, you lost to someone that just buys and holds AAPL. You can make money, put a lot of thought and effort into it and convince yourself you did something good but if it lost to a passive buy and hold strategy of the same ticker it was not successful right?

DJDiamondHands

Indeed, just glad mine paid off. I'm up 100x on NVDA after going all in back in 2016. I would characterize my position as a "calculated risk", since I had a lot of insight after working in Big Tech for 10 years, by that point, and I was previously successful going all in on AAPL from 2006 - 2016 so I trusted my intuition.

Have you seen the picture of the AI circlejerk?  Google is part of the circle; Apple is watching. AAPL.  They’re not taking on debt for AI, they’re just allowing the AI to get on their hardware.

YourChildhood5762

On the surface, VUG looks like the better hold. But its top 10 holdings are about 63.5% of the portfolio. The number for QQQ is 47%. Both numbers are obscenely high, I'd like to see them at 20%. VUG's 26% in just NVDA and AAPL is a bet that I don't want and those two occupy 10% less in QQQ. VUG has more holdings but is less diverse. On that basis, I'd choose that QQQ.

SignificanceLate7002

AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, and META did a lot of the heavy lifting to keep SPY up last week.

Sept 26 (Reuters) - A US jury ruled that Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab owes San Diego-based Taction ​more than $5.7 billion for using its patented ‌technology to power the haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches.

Big-Philosopher-1922

Apple did not hit $5 trillion for the first time on Friday. It first briefly crossed $5 trillion intraday on July 28, when AAPL hit $342.89 and Apple was valued at about $5.036T. Friday’s close was $341.07, while the actual all-time intraday high is $345.34 from September 22. So Friday wasn’t a new stock-price record or Apple’s first $5T valuation; it was simply another day trading near those levels.

ProbablyASeagull

I’m right there with you. Have done it with AAPL since iPhone 1. AMZN is another investment that would fit the bill. It’s diversified within itself. AWS, Retail, gadgets, Satellite, Autonomous vehicles. Concentrated like that is the way to achieve real wealth. But you must know the company inside and out. And have a strong stomach for volatility. Many wealthy people’s portfolios are concentrated in one stock. Look at Elon, Zuch, Bezos, Cook. They may be diversifying now but the majority of their wealth came from huge holdings of the companies they founded. Diversification = deworseification

25% of my wealth is AAPL just due to how long I have owned it (20 years) . Whats crazy is a year after buying it back then I sold half . But its been so solid I dont want to take the tax it yet

Slow_Lion_4178

This is a good question and the answer changes based on the security you're using. It's not universal. AAPL for example tends to fill its gaps like 90+% of the time so it does work there.

greenpride32

Well I personally do. But individual stock picking is not for everyone. I guess a more direct answer is it's easy to say in hindsight you should have invested in MSFT AAPL NVDA AMZN META GOOGL AVGO BRKB years ago. But years ago a lot of people would look at the stock price in real time and say, it's already up so much, how much more can it go up, maybe I should buy something else. You see a ton of comments like that about NVDA today. The the real stock pickers don't look at price chart, they look at financial trajectory. I do suggest for people who don't do financials based DD to stick to the index. I own 6 of those tickers for a very long time (would be 7 but I liquidated META before the Muse runup :( ) I also own SP500 and NAS100.
