No, no. It went down. Technically the stock split at 498.00 in after hours and well the bell opened went down $300.00. So technically some people benifitted while others did not.
He's not calling for doom. He's just warning that with any stock, things can go poorly.
Apple is getting huge and one author likened it to what Microsoft was in 1998.
I have no idea what you are talking about, and I think that makes two of us.

I suppose. Anything can happen at any time of course, but we’re in a different time and Apple is a wayyy different company than Microsoft is/was or what RIMM is/was. There’s been no company like Apple. None.
Of course in the back of my mind I know everything can change in an instant, but I’m going to happily enjoy the ride.
Agreed...also augmented reality rumored Apple glasses....also remote learning must have Macs/iPads selling like crazy
It's not doom and gloom to say "no, apple stock will not go up forever."
People used to think that about GM, GE, IBM, etc.
I sold my 25 stocks of Red Rock Casino to buy 3 shares of Apple. lol
They showed the stock splitting at $498 four ways. I have proff of this, but I would rather release it to a lawyer becuase I am positive the Ceo recieved the stock split at that price and not the average investor, thus proving insider trading which is illegal in the United States.
you "don't" have to look that back, apple was down to 240 in march. anyone think apple is a guaranteed is fooling themselves.

It is doom and gloom because instead of enjoying the ride people like you are pointing out that every company eventually fizzles out. We know that Lol. Apple isn’t like any other company. If you’re a shareholder, enjoy the success. And obviously never put all your eggs into 1 basket.
So you think “it will go up forever” is a rational thing to say? Because that‘s what i was responding to. If you believe it and act accordingly, you better find your nearest soup kitchen now and get ahead of the curve.
i think they are pointing out because you made the opinion stating apple is a guaranteed success. and a no brainer, there are plenty of things that can go wrong and drag down apple stock price, more tension between china and trump, apple silicon turns out to be a dud. new iphone sales not doing well. etc.
I never said, nor do I think, it will go up forever. All I’m saying is that they have been doing very well and are a unique company. That’s it.
“It’s like a guaranteed success”
The only way investing can be a guaranteed success is if you promise it will be worth more than when you buy it.
Everyone knows those things are coming out. This is not a "steal of a price". Stock splits don't change anything fundamentally - you still own the same % of the company before and after.
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. This type of thinking is naive.
You can buy fractional shares at almost every brokerage.
People don't seem to realize that the price of something matters. Great companies can have poor stock performance and terrible companies can have great stock performance.
The stock did split four ways; not sure what the issue you're seeing is. Technically shareholders on the ex date received a "dividend" of 3 additional shares. That was announced in July and was executed last Friday and today exactly as everyone should've believed it would.
As far as you being "positive" the CEO saw a certain price, I'm sure you're well aware of what a 10b5-1 is, and how he literally just made a transaction filed with the SEC a while back: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/25/apple-ceo-tim-cook-stock-award/
Sorry, but you misunderstood something you saw related to the split. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but if you aren't a bot, you should really read up on this stuff.
As the spouse of a current employee, this is 100% true. My wife started when the stock was around $140 about three years ago and between RSU's, bonuses, and ESPP's (Employee Stock Purchase Plan), our portfolio is more than we would could have possibly dreamed of after just a few years. After the split, things are looking even better.
Stock did split at 490, I just don't want to release bank statements, the broker said it was
a systematic process - but if it was a system process, why show me it split at 490, why not
just give me the split the company processed, becuase it went to Tim Cooke.
