The internet echo chamber is alive and well here. In a year’s time it is just as likely people will be kicking themselves for not investing in Apple right now.
Then go ahead and buy. You buy now and you are right you will get the highest rewards. I think it is smarter to buy on some type of real news on the trade war with China. Apple is closer to $100 now than it is to $200. Any further complications because of the trade war will exacerbate this.
There are still a lot of people that are emotionally married to Apple. If the stock drops much more perhaps they capitulate and then it would be a great time to buy. If they are still down after tax time I would consider selling my small amount of shares I have left for the tax break and getting back in at the real price.
