PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 14/21, Up 6%) Has outperformed the market and fintech stocks, down double digits. Apple is down 15% from its high. Not chasing it but would add on pullbacks. They just announced a new iPhone last week and demand is strong so far. Pricing is kind of flat in North America, which is good, though pricing will rise elsewhere. App pricing will rise in Europe and Asia. Apple is like a utility in terms of replacement demand. Demand for services is also strong, and Apple has a huge 1.3 billion subscriber base. Very profitable.
BUY
He broke or lost his Apple Watch while on vacation, so went to the Apple Store where he heard there was a lot of consumer interest in the iPhone 14. Shares popped nearly 4% today, by the way. Without your iPhone, you are lost. Own Apple shares and don't trade them. Apple fans understand the company better than the analysts. The whole world has adapted to those phone and are lifers--they won't let go.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Release of new iPhone very important news. Didn't increase price of new phone which is a good sign. Satellite business will be interesting to watch. Believes is a good long term business to own. Wait to buy shares when stock price decreases. Most of organic growth has already occurred in company (law of large numbers).
COMMENT
Just because it's an important stock doesn't mean it has to lead the market in returns. Apple can crash or lag or be flat. But Apple can't drop bombshell news this year, like problems in China. Over 5 years, Apple has risen 675% over 10 year vs. S&P's 240%.
COMMENT
It could very well become a dead weight, not moving much either way.
WEAK BUY
He keeps buying it, just a few weeks ago, but other stocks he bought have outperformed Apple. He hopes he isn't wrong. Apple trades at 27x 2023 earnings and 15% premium to its long-term average, 50% to its peers. He hides in Apple because of its earnings quality.
DON'T BUY
Apple is 11% of the QQQ ETF and 6.5% of the SPDR ETFs. A lot of new investors buy those ETFs. In early 2021, Apple laboured while the market went higher. Apple can underperform. Say Apple rises 4-5% for the rest of the year, but suppose other parts of the market do better based on better earnings projections? Possible.
BUY
He just bought Apple. People are wrongly identify all tech as long-duration assets which means expectations of profits in the future, not now. He won't invest in those. Apple has a new product cycle for the iPhone 14 and outperformed the market all of 2022, and it has share buybacks. Also, it has strong margins and revenue growth.
DON'T BUY
Does not own stock in company. Very sticky user base with ~90% retention rate in USA. New apple watch and iPhone expecting to help growth. Large of numbers makes growth in physical products hard. Subscription services will aid company grow, but very competitive market space. Expecting single digit revenue growth and not much upside.
BUY
Consistent. A quarterback of a stock. Own, don't trade it. Any pullback is a buying opportunity.
BUY
Owns a 5% weighting here. Their baseline metrics are very good. A quality company. He has a 20% weighting in tech. Never before has this sector permeated the 10 other S&P sectors as now. This sector saved the American economy.
COMMENT
Boasts strong branding, perhaps tops in the world. We have to see what happens in China in terms of production and consumption. That will be their catalyst for 2023.
BUY
Free cash flow is $110 billion a year, so there is ongoing return of capital to shareholders. This offers security in an insecure market.
BUY
Tech estimates have gone up this year and are too high. Valuations are at 26x, a huge premium to the mark, and growth outlooks are too aggressive. There will continue to be a divergence between quality and low quality tech.
