Apple Becomes Trillion Dollar Company Again

[Abazigal]

I agree; it’s not going anywhere, especially with that attitude. Innovation never stops, imagine if they thought that with the car, TV, or (Nokia) with the phone. I don’t believe we are close to the end of telecommunication innovation in the form of a handset. Right now it may be stale, but there are definitely areas to be explored.

Which begs the question - is the Apple Watch any less innovative simply because it is an iPhone accessory? After all, it works as well as it does thanks to tight integration with the iPhone and other aspects of the Apple ecosystem, from Apple Music to Siri to the W1 chip?

Apple is rumoured to be working on a pair of AR glasses which will use the iPhone as its “brains”. We see hints of this via features like the U1 chip and Apple’s heavy emphasis on AR overall.

So in a sense, one can argue that Apple is continuing to innovate on their phones. It’s just that the benefits may be seen in the form of accessories such as wearables, rather than on the parent phone itself.

If you understood AAPL's fundamentals, you should have never, ever sold.

The reason people sell is because they don't understand what they own and they panic.

Except for the fact I sold high, rebought low, sold high, and rebought again on the dip again. I essentially increased my earnings gambling on AAPL dramatically, and it wasn’t with paper money either.

The number one mistake people do is cling onto a stock for long and don’t have an exit strategy, especially on a volatile stock. Apple is the stock people should try to take advantage of because you can make a lot of money on the swing. You don’t make money from what you don’t sell.

You also missed my point that investors park money into high yield stocks in preparation to buy into a growth stock that may or may not be Apple.

Woah, we’ve got a God trader here...yeah, I’m sure all your trades were gold. Buy high and sell low, right? I’m sure you got right back in seamlessly.

I guess Peter Lynch was stupid for holding all those stocks for years.

I also have no idea how many shares you traded. If it was anything significant, your strategy becomes far more difficult because of the psychology that’s impossible to ignore.

The number one mistake for investors (and why most investors underperform the market) is they think they can beat the market by trading in and out and picking stocks. Essentially can’t be done over the long term.

Have you ever heard money is like a bar of soap? The more you handle it, the less you have.

I know, I know. You’re an exception because you’re just so much smarter than the average investor.

MR fell asleep. No reporting on Apple becoming a less that a trillion dollar company (again).

Very temporary. Next week this time it will be back to being a $1T company.

Are you hoping that Congress is going to bail out Apple this week? Seems unlikely. In the meantime, Microsoft remains the only trillion dollar company.

Apple has a higher upside.
