AAPL

MtGloomy0420

Just so I have it here… I bought $AAPL around $245 when the RSI was like 20. I knew it would go to $300. Yesterday I liquidated a few of those shares at $310…and bought 750 more shares of $CTM! I have a few shares now ;)

AAPL has been making people rich for like 30 years, tf you mean past 10

Independent_Rent_315

Solid roll — locks the gains, extends duration past the next two big catalysts (Rubin ramp Q4 '26, then Q1 '27 print). Quick math on the $150 strike: with NVDA's '26 profit est \~$258B and '27 growth at conservative \~30%, you're looking at roughly $335B in '27 earnings. At the \~$3.68T market cap implied by the strike, that's a forward P/E around 11x — basically you're betting NVDA doesn't compress below 11x forward by 2027, which is *below* current AAPL's multiple at lower growth. The trade math says these go deep ITM unless the AI capex cycle breaks. Risk is a guide-down before the option goes ITM and you lose your roll cushion — but with 2027 expiry that's a lot of beats to disappoint through. If you ever sold covered calls against the LEAPS, the $150 strikes give you room to scalp 2-3 cycles of premium without capping the underlying. Worth it if you're comfortable with the management.

Bitcoin was once in a generation TSLA was once in a generation AAPL was once in a generation NVDA was once in a generation ... and this is just the past 10 years

AKAkorm

Hard to say anything is a once in a generation opportunity when there are numerous stocks and securities that have made people super rich over the last 15-20 years alone. Was getting into AAPL before the iPhone or NFLX early once in a generation? Was buying BTC early that? Don’t chase because you think you’re missing out. It’s how you buy at the top and lose money.

Fhyzikz

Probably because their growth will be slower/limited going forward because they are already such a valuable company measured in market cap. That's why I like it though, it's a safe bet. MSFT/AAPL/GOOG of semis. More predictable moves. Something like AMD/INTC still move crazy insane because they're still growing. NVDA already a proven winner with a historical balance sheet to prove it

Frozen_Shades

Fun Fact: AAPL still exists. Bet you forgot about AAPL.

Oldschoolhype2

Of course SMCI pumps after I sold. Same thing happened with AAPL. They get you down enough to make you fold then inject it with steroids.

How tf is QQQ up 2% when META, MSFT, NVDA, AAPL, and AMZN all red

Ozqi

Sorry guys I bought AAPL

Mouse0022

Buy SMH or SOXX. and just hold. If you buy any individual stocks, can't really go wrong with GOOGL, NVDA, and AAPL. Besides that, VTI and VXUS and chill. Know your risk tolerance. Don't go big into anything speculative. Look at it like lottery tickets, put in as much as you can handle if it went to $0. Don't put in more than you can handle losing. One thing to remember on a red day is that you only lose if you sell. Sometimes you just have to hold onto the ride and ride it out. Don't be a perpetual bear.

AAPL puts at the top would’ve printed so hard, alas another opportunity squandered

intelligentx5

Well done. I have a rich uncle and he once told me something that always stuck. You can make tiny investments anywhere or do a ton of due diligence and make one very high conviction investment. He never goes less than $100k. He put 250k in AAPL in 2008. Still hasn’t sold. You remind me of him.

Thinking AAPL leaps Any good strike date?

MaNewt

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.

The reason he sold is much worse than selling itself. Using geopolitical risk to sell while holding over 50% AAPL.

(1) Memory thesis doesn't make sense long-term. Memory is easy and cheap to manufacture, and pretty soon there will be supply expansion, pushing down both the multiple (i.e. the market's priced in projected growth) and the gross revenues. (2) Data center thesis is on tricky ground right now. They have been falling further and further behind schedule, which would be one thing, except most of the companies took out massive amounts of debt to begin building (in order to lock down market share). Default/ insolvency risk has yet to be priced in, in my opinion. Further, the number of challenges facing data centers is only growing. There has been massive political backlash, spanning both side of the political spectrum. I doubt this will matter much in the long term, but it offers huge potential for event risk for specific companies, which has yet to be priced in. Lastly, there simply isn't the energy infrastructure necessary for smooth scaling. Most data centers are using diesel turbines for a large share of their power. This doesn't hold business ramifications so much as environmental ramifications, and if the EPA is ever un-gutted, this is a different type of event risk for data center companies. (3) Chip theses do make sense to me, long term. I think that these will be the major winners of the revolution. However, there will most likely eventually be a reckoning where chips are overproduced. A bet on an individual chip maker is entirely a vote of confidence in the management that they will (a) not reduce production too soon, so as to avoid losing market share, and (b) not reduce production too late, so as to over supply and lose all margin for at least a quarter. Such a timing question is always a tricky prospect to get correct. NVDA seems like the only company capable of this, and yet, I feel that there is basically a coin flip that they'll stick the landing. (4) The hyperscalers are making a MASSIVE bet that OpenAI and Anthropic will be worth the investment. This remains to be seen, as there is insane levels of growth currently being priced in. If there is even a single quarter in which one of these companies doesn't grow their revenue by almost a fourth, then there will be (assuming things are proceeding "rationally") turbulence in the stock prices. Now, this all comes down to earnings, which I am trusting less and less over time. Earnings have become a show, where information is deceptively communicated in order to manipulate the stock price. (5) "Software" as a rotation play is the wrong way to think about things. It is true that the majority of software companies were already overvalued, even ignoring AI adoption. There are most likely several software companies which will do amazingly well, exceeding the lowered expectations, but it is a matter of finding the value. There will be many software companies who will never make new lifetime highs. (6) AAPL is notably the big tech company which has been sitting out the hyperscaling stuff. They are well poised to take advantage when the decline ramps up in the next year or two.

I know some1 bought $22K of AAPL back in the 80s and now holding $13MM in her trust, never sold https://preview.redd.it/bnpqus7z9c3h1.jpeg?width=2928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95361e329fa091474c0b5925fcc73270a51abae2

The list of companies wanting their tech is already AAPL, META, AMZN and indirectly NVDA.

Necessary-Excuse1405

AAPL as a market anchor is a real thing but the low IV argument cuts both ways, your premium is cheap because the expected move is small. If you're playing weeklies you need it to actually gap, not just grind. Monthlies give more room. I've been running my AAPL perp thesis on markets xyz since it trades 24/7, weekends included, which helps when Sunday futures gap changes everything.

Specialist_Exam_8433

Why AAPL higher PE than NVDA?

Valkyrie_Skuld

INFQ TSLA AAPL and IBM I think perhaps. And unless oil futures drop below 90 buy the USO dip with shares. That’s just what I think for now. IBM might be a better long.

No_Haku2020

I trim core holdings that had gone up a lot (MU. NVDA. CRWD. DELL. AAPL, META etc). I don’t care about FOMO on further runup from here. I exit completely those I had bought on short term trades that had gone up at least 25%+ from my basis (APO. ALAB. CRDO. CRWV. MRVL etc) esp those that are very volatile. Can’t go wrong taking profits. I had learned my lessons from the dot-com bust, housing meltdown, covid crash, etc. Unless you have a stop-loss on them, it would be wise to sell/trim emotion. those u believe would come down a lot in case of a major selloff due to exogenous events (tariffs, Iran war etc) and recover more slowly. You can’t predict when this market will turn against you and by the time you react it’s too late. Not necessarily incurring a loss but getting out at a lower profit compared to getting out when a stock hits record high. I’m very happy w my gains and content with what’s left exposed to the market. Know your risks and level of exposure and have a strategy so you don’t act on emotion when deciding on trades.

Specialist_Exam_8433

META is going to 1000, regardless of what numbers it posts. They'll just pump it through "PE expansion" aka what they did to AAPL which has had flat growth since 2022.

rogan1990

AAPL to me is a unique company because their fan base is so loyal. Myself included. I’ve owned 2 Macbook Pros (2008, 2018) I’ve owned many iPhones, I can’t remember how many but probably 5-6 since I got my first one back in 2011. I’ve had 2 Androids also, but I just prefer the iPhone Some people have the iPhone, the iPad, the expensive over ear headphones, the smaller earbud headphones, the computer, everything.

Every company is on the AI spending train without stopping except for AAPL. Once AAPL it’s going to trigger a monsoon of buying and oil start free falling. S&P to 8k easily.

People still buy AAPL? I thought it's like IBM now.

bigmphan

They did. Not sure if they still hold a lot of Occidental Petroleum- but the energy play is still playing out. I’m eager to see what moves Abel makes. AAPL KO AXP is a good core and all, but damn Greg - let’s ride this wave.

cybercuzco

Join the club buddy. I sold 100 shares of AAPL in 1999 to pay for college.

Poulet_Roti

Did the same thing with AAPL in 2010 or so to pay for the wedding… 30x since then.

Potential_Salt_5780

Congrats. Been buying AAPL since the iPod days. Went all in 2007 after the iPhone release at $5 a share then bought more along the way. FIRE’d two years ago thanks to the investments.

JonRadian

\*shrug\* Man's free to do what he wants, but I sure hell am NOT selling my AAPL.

AAPL no don’t try it

SemperPutidus

I thought everything else at the time was overvalued, and that the rising dotcom tide would lift all ships. This new CEO Gil Amelio seemed like he could turn things around. They had a huge cash hoard… so I’ve owned AAPL since 1996 because I was an idiot who didn’t know better.

Valkyrie_Skuld

AAPL but I won’t banbet it bikkhu needs to bannet it he broke nvda i dont have the powers

Mo_Steins_Ghost

I sold 3000 shares of AAPL six months before the original iPod came out. I purchased them at $18.75 a share. Now, you can say "hindsight is 20/20" sure, and in most cases you'd be right. However, if anyone should have had the foresight, you'd think it would be the guy whose undergrad thesis in 1996 was on the future of music distribution going to digital downloads at the click of a button.

pizza_the_mutt

I sold all my AAPL in 2002. In 2008 a friend suggested I buy back in, but I figured it had run as far as it could.

VibeySwingTrader

Ouch. I retired at 39 because I bought TSLA, AAPL, and AMZN in college.

blipsman

Shit, that worse than my selling $1500 basis AAPL for $75k to fund house down payment, that today would be $1.1m. House has appreciated by about $350k.

shawman123

based on how their revenue is growing, I think it wont hit 9 trillion in next few years. But they are steady and will keep growing. the brand moat is not going away. Even though chinese flagships have phenomenal specs, even in China Apple is selling well. I could see them do well with their Specs and other not so crazy priced hardware. Even Macbook neo can do 5x sales if they can improve the supply. So I would hold on to my AAPL shares. For some reason I am scared to own NVDA but they can easily double if they keep growing at this crazy rate. I can see them hit 10-12Trillion in next 2 years. GOOG can grow from current price though not sure about doubling. AMZN/MSFT have good potential. Dont like META at all despite them pushing gazllion ads to FB/Insta. But their market cap can grow from current levels. TSLA is not my cup of tea and so I am staying out of it.

zendaddy76

Just hold for longer, set a trailing stop, maybe 20%, if you’re worried about losing money. Or sell 1/2 at ATH and keep the rest. I’ve successfully used this strategy with some big wins (MSFT since 98, AAPL since 2012, NVDA since 2020, currently holding AVGO AMD TSM MRVL GOOG - all with trailing stops that haven’t triggered, still riding them on the way up). Also I bought META when PE was low, around 200 a share, these aren’t dogshit stocks if you hold for longer and have conviction. Tha said, 90% of my money is VT and chill, 10% play money is for fun.

SangerGRBY

You have a 40% roi. You are better than 99% of people here. Anyways number of stocks doesnt mean anything. % of portfolio makes more sense. Group them by sectors to see how much overlaps you have. Trim down redundant positions. If your portfolio is 100k, and you have positions < 3k. Those holdings are unlikely to move your PnL by much. e.g., You own 1 AAPL at $300 it could triple overnight but barely move ur % roi by 1%.

jim-i-am

I prob hold about 25% of the shares I bought in that tranche. It's a big number. The other 75% still has done well, but sold AAPL over the years, and moved into index funds as it obviously became a high percentage of my portfolio. Funny thing if I would have held it, it would have gotten far larger than the risk concerns. Funny thing, I spent like 5 seconds thinking about it. I had just moved it into an IRA from an old employer, and was the first and only stock I bought. Oh, a Roth 😉

Altruistic-Pin3207

Solid — 8 of 11 is well above darts, and the AAPL/MSFT/AMZN "didn't pin exactly but stayed in range" is the part most writeups skip. Curious whether your hit rate splits cleanly across the king-magnitude buckets. Big absolute-GEX kings (SPY/QQQ where dealer hedging is biggest) should be more reliable pins than the meme-y single names. I started logging mine in [strikerate.ca](http://strikerate.ca) by underlying and the result was less flattering than I assumed — most of my "GEX edge" was really the index ETFs, not the single names. One Friday is signal but not a sample size, so the underlying-level split is where the actual edge call is.

DarkDruid8

I started a small position when RKLB entered Nasdaq, and then got thousands of shares when it was around 4-5 usd. I think that RKLB is a great company with awesome leadership. But the stock price is insane right now and I sold all my shares. Market cap almost 80B with 680M revenue? And if anyone expects that Neutron will boost the revenue and make it to catch up, then they should actually read what the company itself is saying about expected rump up of Neutron launches and price per each of them. I will happily jump on board again when it drops, because I love the company. But right now it feels like Tesla in 2021 - the company is growing and of course it will be a bigger and better company in a few years, but the stock is so much ahead of itself, that it might easily spend years waiting for the company to catch up (or in the worse case drop significantly to get realigned with the company's business). And as for your move, I think you should ask yourself what is your risk tolerance. Holding AAPL for years and then switching to RKLB doesn't make much sense unless your risk tolerance increased significantly in the meantime. Because if your risk tolerance would be still the same, then you were either too conservative before or you are in FOMO and risking too much right now. But either way, good luck! 🙂

nikita58467

BRKB sold some AAPL shares but still hold more than 20% in their portfolio. Diversify is good for them.

FNFactChecker

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Yes, any politician trading single stocks is suspect, but not all of it is insider trading. She's made a ton of money on liquid megacaps like AAPL, for instance. However, does seem to use deep ITM calls like a floor trader, so that part is what's shady, along with the timing of more than a few large trades. Here's a list you can sort by ticker: https://www.insiderfinance.io/congress-trades/politician/nancy-pelosi TL;DR: We need term limits and no fossils at any and all levels of government

Potential_Salt_5780

I’m pretty sure people are not just buying AAPL because everything else is. AAPL’s services now make up 1/4 of their business. It is a high margin software business and still growing. Most people who misrate and misunderstand AAPL because they see it as a hardware company. Ok but that hardware business has close to 40% margin. But the biggest caveat is that you can’t buy iOS or OSX without buying the hardware as they don’t license their operating systems. There’s plenty of room to grow. They keep buying back stock, India will be the next China, and nearly 2 billion activated devices will need to be upgraded. Been holding AAPL since 2001 and went all in 2007 after the first iPhone launch. I cannot count the number of times people claiming AAPL is dead and the growth cannot continue.

For me, it's both the overleveraging itself and the fact that this creates an exploitable vulnerability in our entire financial system, not unlike the World Trade Centers in 2001. The issue isn't necessarily the belief itself - it's the manifestation of the belief in overleveraging to the point of irrationality. Historically, overleveraging results in bubbles and crashes - whether it be tech stock, real estate, oil, etc... Diversification offers protection. The thing that makes this situation unique is that it is the entire SP500 index that is overleveraged in AI, instead of just banks, which is the gold standard against which every other benchmark is made and is considered the main source of diversification for the average person, particularly when it comes to things like 401ks. It makes this particular crash somewhat more haunting, especially given that we are heading into inflation and an unprecedented proportion of our population relying on retirement income sources. Social security ends basically in 7 years, 14 if they cut the benefits in half - combine that the only real other financial support retirees will have shortly being 401k and this is a massively risky and scary situation. The younger generation doesn't make enough to support their parents when things crash - 60% of the population is paycheck to paycheck. So, what happens to the entire market when the younger population can't spend because they are paycheck to paycheck and potentially trying to bail out their parents, and the older generation can't spend because their entire main 2 sources of income tanked in relative proximity to each other? You have a market collapse. Nobody makes money if nobody can spend money... It's a bubble collapse because it is precipitated by overleveraging in one sector or group of companies within a sector. Nobody gives two shits about AI services if they can't eat. The government will likely be forced to step in and force AI back to allow jobs to be made so people can get income, but that will also make the AI bubble crash harder and those 401ks tank harder. It's a lose-lose for government intervention - basically they will be forced to consider bailing out those companies, but that is going to be WAY WORSE than the 2008 bailout, causing inflation and pressing the market down. This is looking like 2008 all over again, but instead of banks being the source, it's the lack of diversification in the assets that were intended to be naturally regulated for diversification, and thus THE primary source of investment for much of America. There's also the fact that in a free-market, ultra capitalistic society, overleveraging the entire market does not represent just a financial vulnerability, but a strategic, national security issue. If I wanted to send the US into financial turmoil, I'd just Luigi Mangione the Execs of those companies, or bomb their R&D divisions and headquarters. Literally, one well placed bomb, not unlike the trade centers in 2001, can crash the ENTIRE market governing nearly every US citizen's financial future - in fact, it's EASIER than the trade centers. I'm surprised the government is allowing such a vulnerability to persist, except that they all are inside traders (their own admission) and can easily retire rich by not doing anything and making it someone else's problem. Quite frankly, NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, and GOOGL/GOOG should all be removed from the SP500 index entirely. I think 50x the median value of the index would be a decent limit for index inclusion to limit over-representation. Give them their own tech index instead of basically just making the entire SP500 index another tech index. 30+% of the index is too much for one technology to be THE FULCRUM of it all.

dvdmovie1

> Is there ever a chance that parts of DISNEY like ESPN, HULU, or Disney+ may eventually be acquired by other companies such as NFLX or AAPL? I don't think so (especially Disney+) and they just bought CMCSA's share of Hulu not that long ago - they're probably not going to backtrack on that any time soon. ESPN has lost about 40% of the viewership in the last decade; any purchase would probably not be from a position of strength.

Outrageous_Tip_2133

Don’t feel bad, I sold my AAPL 310 calls when the price hit 308 then it shot up to 311 and some change right after

AAPL showing a little profit taking all day. Bought some 5/26 305p. Semi-lottos. I think if there's any pullback in the market over the weekend, it could potentially drag it down to 300.

_TheOoze_

TL,DR: Calls. AAPL is slow-rolling their agentic improvements to the trash that is Siri. AAPL will rip so hard when it's released, and will have cornered the market on mobile native AI. They always come late to the game, but end up with the best of breed product in the end. It's telling that OpenAI is rushing to get a phone out.

Feels more like AAPL is only going up because everything else has and people figure "yeah why not give it a go." Literally nothing has changed and it's the most expensive megacap even before the move.
