Thank you for your input. Much appreciated . To your comment about - 'You dont have to react each week to a price swing to shave a coupe bucks.' .. As a rule, if a stock I am trading falls enough that the option can be bought back for a 40-50% profit, I buy back the call and sell a new expiry date call. The reason is that if the stock keeps falling, the next roll might not give enough premium to shield against additional drops or might have to be written further out in time than i would like. This trade was a regime where the entire AI trade was being questioned by the markets(ROI on capex by hyperscalers , earnings of AAPL. AMZN, MSFT, META etc, drop in semi conductor stock prices etc) and so I rolled more frequently than I normally do to keep in step with the stock price drop. If you see the % change in the option price on the dates I rolled, some were below my 40% rule , but in the absence of clarity on the AI trade environment, I wanted to be a little more cautious. https://preview.redd.it/9gy06if2i0hh1.png?width=335&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d3e475d0fa70975048077ad899cd4fbd7e4e6fa
Potential sales on AAPL NVDA AMD and SNDK this week woohoo
My trade tomorrow 0dte AAPL calls
No AAPL position. Congrats on the trade. The part I'd be careful about turning into a rule is "big run-up = buy puts." A 1DTE 10x says the realized move beat the option market's expected move in your direction; it doesn't prove pre-earnings momentum itself is predictive. Log the implied move, strike and entry for the next 20 setups. If the edge survives that, you found a strategy. If not, you still found one very good trade.
My dad has been in the market since practically the day he turned 18 in the late 60s, so he’s been through everything and nothing has shaken him. He prefers to stay patient and buy when there’s blood in the streets. Even the dot com crash couldn’t shake his faith in tech. His defensive stocks he picked up in the aftermath of the GFC, because he figured if we’re going to have a functioning economy we’ll need national banks and industrials like CAT. I doubt he’s added since. They’re really not his thing. But he has let them run ever since. He got into mega cap tech long before they were the Mag7, several from IPO, and has been doubling down on them ever since. He does like to get a piece of all the highest profile IPOs. They’re not all winners but sometimes they become the GOOG we know today. AAPL he started buying a year or so before the GFC because my sister wanted a Mac for college, and that surprised him. He asked his niece and she said all the kids want Macs, so he figured there’s something there. He’s owned a MU and LRCX since the GFC. I don’t know why he chose those specifically, but he has added to them since. I know he was a buyer during the Covid crash. In addition to shares, he also likes leap calls two years out when price is weak, and he pauses new calls when the market feels toppy to him. Mostly tech but not exclusively. I randomly called him once and he was talking about WMT calls. He doesn’t catch every top or take advantage of every bottom. But he has the kind of patience that many investors today lack. I look at MU and see cycle after cycle of disappointment before a parabolic run. He says, “It just kept moving higher so why would I sell?”
I bought META, AAPL, HOOD, RDDT, GOOG. All after earnings. Easy profits.

On one hand, memory is down so bad it feels like it cant go any lower, on the other hand, SPY is at all time high. If the market decides it wants to go up, memory and semis are going to rally even further, NVDA to 250, but if semis and memory have continued weakness, not even falling much further, SPY will be the one to come down strongly. Perhaps this moment is where rotation will go out of Mag 7, (especially AAPL) and we get another wave of Bag 7, big dick semis, SPY stays relatively flat but slightly up still.
Pivot to SAAS stocks and AAPL.
YTD returns: AMZN +19.9% AAPL +14.0% GOOGL +13.0% NVDA +6.3% MSFT -1.7% META -14.4% TSLA -28.9%
Yeah my basis in AAPL is around $0.40 per share. If I took OP’s advice, I would have sold after a 3x and watched a conviction stock continue to run up the past 15 years while chasing the market. I rarely sell covered calls - I generate income selling puts using margin backed against my AAPL. I can appreciate the general sentiment of what the OP is saying. Don’t let taxes dictate strategy. But to essentially criticize people who are holding stocks like AAPL for decades is hilarious.
Yeah the original post is kinda funny. Don’t be investors - be short term traders / gamblers. I’m not avoiding selling my AAPL stock that I acquired in 2004 because I’m scared of paying taxes - it’s because I still view it as a good long term investment (which I can borrow against if I need some cash) compared to what I would do with the after tax cash if I sold. If I was doing what the OP suggested I would have a fraction of the net worth I have today. But sure, if you are just chasing a pump and don’t believe in the long term value, then sell and take profits. But that’s speculating / gambling and not investing.
My cost on AAPL is around $4.07 from 2009. I bought quite a lot but not as much as I wanted. My friend the portfolio manager said i should have a less concentrated position. I made millions but his advice cost me ten figures. I’ve held it all and also have a drip. Thought about divesting last summer but dithered on where to redeploy, which turned out well in hindsight.
If the explicit goal is weighting heavier into mega-caps without picking single stocks, VUG does that. Just be clear on the look-through overlap. In an 80/20 VOO/VUG setup, your top 5 holdings (NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL) make up over 27% of your portfolio. If tech multiples contract, that tilt doesn't protect you from drawdown depth compared to a simple core holding.
Yep, it's clearly a shakeout of the weak hands. Fundamentals actually look stronger after seeing SKHY post profits on par with MSFT, GOOG, and AAPL. It posted Q2 operating profits of $41.5 B compared to $40.6B, $40.77B, and $35.69B for the other three, respectively. Then we saw STX with blowout numbers telling us the memory play here is intact. WDC and SNDK will report on Wednesday after the market closes, and I expect more blowout numbers. WDC is at $550, and it'll be above $700 by year end. I expect SNDK to be above $2500 by year end. SNDK is going to report EPS above $35 and then guide FY27 to $225-$250. At $2500, that's a p/e of 10 making it reasonable at least until FY28 can be more visible.
Holding 35% in cash creates a massive hurdle rate drag against the equity risk premium over full cycles. When your picking bucket holds 8 to 10 mega-caps like GOOG or AAPL, it doesn't add much diversification since you're just doubling down on the top 30% concentration of the S&P core. The hardest part of this setup isn't buying fear. It's maintaining margin of safety discipline on exits when multiples expand past historical norms. Without mechanical trim targets, cash drag eats into the excess return generated from stock selection.
13% cash. Mostly ETFs. SPY RSP ROBO. Sold my AAPL before earnings. It was my largest single stock position. Hold a few individual names like IONQ, JOBY, PATH.
I have seen individuals with quality stocks like AAPL cost basis of $1-2. Obviously from an earlier employee through their company options. Apple is local. Rather than taking a massive tax hitm they sell cover calls for additional income. Unless there is specific reason I don't see why sell them for gain either.
My trade on Monday 0dte AAPL calls
These past three months I’ve been on a roll and it’s a mix of indicators I use, geopolitics, earnings season, and AI cloud monsters. Amazon was so obvious to me too but again, risk tolerance prevented me from dumping the rest of my liquidity into it at the same time as aapl puts. I’ve been burned so many times on earnings calls I stayed away from them for years. AAPL was comfortably sailing above the 50 and 200 MA and I felt it was time it would come down to that range.
Far out of the money covered calls helps with this. Definitely helped me with AAPL this week
AAPL above 320 next week
The market cap of big companies will continue raising with inflation. Inflation>price increase>bigger profit in $$$>bigger market cap. 10 years ago people weren't buying AAPL because it was too big, almost $1T. Think about that...
>"is the market cap low enough that this company can grow significantly" Meanwhile the 10 largest market cap companies over the past decade: AAPL: 1,100%, 28% CAGR GOOG: 900%, 26% CAGR MSFT: 750%, 24% CAGR BRK: 300%, 15% CAGR XOM: 100%, ~11% CAGR with dividends AMZN: 800%, 25% CAGR META: 470%, 19% CAGR JNJ: 160%, ~12.5% CAGR with dividends JPM: 500%, ~22% CAGR with dividends WFC: 75%, ~9% CAGR with dividends
AAPL already crumbled today.
AAPL puts would have been good yesterday if you were into puts.
Hold on, I didn't realize RDDT had a -22% day today, and AAPL had a -8% day. Are we in penny stock sub now?
That's the wrong way to think about this. AAPL is treating AI as a commodity and paying GOOG 1bn a year for Gemini to run their 2bn installed devices. GOOG is paying AAPL 20bn to be the search engine on 2bn installed devices. AAPL has 1.8% Capex on AI. Let's talk about who's winning and who's left exposed.
AAPL’s price action today was Tim Apple preparing us for when John is going to Ternus gay.

It won’t fall off any time soon but the valuation seemed too high from the last year or so run.
As long as Gen Alpha kids think Androids are ghetto and iphone are cool, i'm still bullish on AAPL
lmao MU gonna be down worse than AAPL by the time AH closes
Is AAPL 8% drop in a day normal? 😳
It’s crazy how AAPL has been holding up through all the RAM bullshit Did the market finally remember what phones are made of

Yep AAPL Calls regret it . absolutely no redemption,memory stocks decided to tank earlier on to make it worse .what a day
Summary of my week: Bought MSFT puts, AAPL calls, AMZN puts. I am retart
Last minute AAPL calls wouldve been a 7 bagger 😳. Sadly couldn't buy them. Did make an easy 10% off 3 day calls though.
Imagine being bearish on AAPL 🤡
Sadly regards in /AAPL are "smart long term holders" who refuse to accept that
AAPL / NVDA / NFLX CALLS - took profit on AAPL puts before earnings :)
AAPL said I aint hear no bell
Seems no brainer with AAPL, but why RDDT tho? What's your rationale?
Got impatient with AAPL $302.50 calls. Pumps 2 minutes after I sell. I suck at this. Been burned too many times now I have paperhands syndrome.
Got hit hard with META yesterday, now today with AAPL. This kind of shit is demoralizing.
You definitely belong here, because i’m not sure what math you’re using where its up 5%. AMZN is up like 2% and has been treading water since 9am. AAPL is basically flat since open.
u/Steak_Itchy good thing you held off from buying AAPL eh?
Come on AAPL. Get your butt over that $302.50 strike price. No wonder everyone hates you.
One has to be highly retarded to go long on AAPL just before earnings after a massive run. Seek medical help.
How in the fuck does AMZN and AAPL both make monster moves overnight and then just do absolutely fuck all during cash? Make it make sense.
AAPL psyop for further wealth transfer from retail to institutions. AAPL is the best stock in history
Yeah i think that makes sense at all. This is def buying territory for AAPL.
Fuck AAPL dude, how the fuck does it drop more than fucking META. Fucking POS META (which also fucked me). And AAPL says hold my fucking iphone, and fucking drops 10 fucking %.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to sit in AAPL for a bit more, on the chance that it's oversold and rebounds a bit. 10% for a MAG7 stock is fucking insane. There's no way it keeps going down.
Yes, I'm aware. But price doesn't fucking matter going into earnings. A stock like GOOGL could have ripped for weeks and still go up 10% for earnings, which it did last April. AAPL had momentum, it was sitting as the number 1 market cap stock in the world. I thought that momentum could hold and it would go up a bit more. I definitely did not see a 10% drop from earnings coming. Not at fucking all.
People are paranoid about AAPL for no reason lmao, it'll recover just fine over time
Dude, fucking of course AAPL has the worst earnings drop in over a decade when I'm holding. Of fucking course dude, it wouldn't happen any fucking other way.

Can y'all just buy AAPL. I'm doing you a favor.
AAPL below 5T. Tim Apple might as well pack it up and declare bankruptcy...
The split between MSFT/META and AAPL/AMZN this week has been interesting.
Ive been in the market a long time and have seen a lot of cycles. It’s not often that the winners of a group just disappear and go bust. Chances are, the winners of today will be the winners of tomorrow. Amazon was a household name in 2002 just as it is now. Netflix widely used, Google dominated search at the time of their IPOs. AAPL split adjusted cost about $0.37 per share when they released the IPod. So the main lesson I’ve learned is buy the winners, hold them. Of course, use risk management and I’m not YOLO’ing my entire portfolio in it, but I’ll average in to a $25k ish position and plan on holding it for 10+ years.
Lmao so they took their AAPL money and dumped it all in on GOOG. This should tell yall bearish regards that this rally will continue because degenerates are desperate for yield in a high inflation environment
I also shorted AAPL at $333 and cashed out today. But I had an optimal position size. You seem like a smart guy, but your positioning was incredibly dumb. You know about the Kelly Criterion? Apple could have pulled something out of a hat and render your puts zero, and you would have lost your all precious IRA funds. Really fucking dumb. Do not do this again. For this kinda play, max 10% allocation, not more.
Made so much $ today on my QQQ Calls (dumped at open) and AAPL puts, buying a crap ton of lotto Puts for the end of the day QQQ 679 - who's coming with me!
Its over for AAPL, 275 SOON
thats gotta be one of the biggest one day drops in AAPL for the last decade
Next week here: "AAPL was -10% and you regards didn't buy?" 💁♂️
What company is AAPL going to buy in the next few quarters to pretend it's still a growth company?
God can't save AAPL today
So AAPL commits to what they were already doing, which is print money and no AI Capex. AI sells off, money moves into safety of AAPL. AI pumps and dumps and AAPl just dumps. Got it
my luck is worst right now. they are AAPL calls. The puts are going nowhere either.
Honestly fuck AAPL. That is all
Bought a bunch of AAPL and RDDT leaps. Time to throw my phone in the river and disconnect from society for a year.
Crazy how far they fell. considering AAPL sold a total of 14 Vision Pros beating expected (2) by +600%
#Every time I place an order for a contract, its price immediately jumps $50-100. I even tried super liquid contracts like SPY, NVDA and AAPL. This is the hidden commission MMs charge you in "cOmMisSioN fReE" trading. LMAO🤌
What is going on with GOOGL!!!?? Earnings wipe out is gone. Are they the new AAPL where everyone goes to safety?
even if I'm ber-ish on AAPL, not buying their puts don't want to become the next GUH
Believe it or not bullish on AAPL
I guess I'm the only person hoping AAPL drops below $300. Sure is lonely...
No broad breadth market correction in the last 15 years has happened without AAPL slipping first. It’s the favorite safe haven and now there is none. Setting up for a nice selloff going into August. Buy calls.
