TOP PICK
A great opportunity. Don't often get a chance to buy on the cheap. Such a long runway to price target. Phenomenal moat. Extremely profitable. Still a high bar on innovation. High margins on services, about 67%. Yield is 0.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $184.42)
COMMENT
Apple vs. BCE for income Certainly, BCE generates income (he owns it), despite minimal revenue growth, though it's well-run. 5G may give it a bump. Pays a super yield. You don't buy Apple for income (the yield is low), but rather it's a growth company. The two stocks are yin-and-yang, but offer good diversity in a portfolio.
HOLD
It is a mature company and it is difficult to dislodge them. Its P/E ratio is more reasonable in the 20's. It is making its own chips for its phones and laptops and the chips use less power and are faster.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 16/21, Down 2%) Apple remains a core tech holding, though she trimmed shares around $178 earlier this year. She is adding more shares now in this pullback. Apple has a customer base of 1 billion phone users and offers many services to them like music, fitness and TV. These offers high margins and recurring revenues. Apple is innovative and will continue to add new services and products.
SELL
It is a short term sell and is in the process of breaking lower like all FANG stocks. It is very expensive since the fair market value is much lower. Generally when stocks reach that level they break lower.
COMMENT
They kicked off their developers conference today and announced their buy-now, pay-later option, and announced a new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, the M2 chip and new iPhone software...but the street yawned.
BUY
Rising USD will hurt all exporters, but it's not a fundamental issue. Warned on this quarter. One of the greatest businesses the world has ever seen. AR stuff in 3-5 years. Products we can't live without. It's fallen a lot, hard to time a buy exactly. Happy to own for the long term.
BUY
21x earnings, small yield. Uses free cashflow to buy back shares. Incredible growth in services. Next quarter or two might be difficult due to supply chains, but the products remain good. Any shortfall in revenue will be made up down the road. Worth buying here, especially on a day of bad volatility.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 07/22, Down 11.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with AAPL has triggered its stop at $152. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 2%, when combined with the previous top pick recommendation.
COMMENT
Market outlook He wants to see more selling before the market reaches capitulation. Almost there. For Apple, today saw the first time since October 2020 that the stock broke its upward trendline. There was similar price action in Microsoft. The economy will continue to slow and inflation and rates will peak. Then, you wade into these growth names. Apple and Microsoft have to give back more before the market capitulates.
BUY
Good to buy under $160 now. It's a dominant brand, despite winds of change in tech. Apple will become more dominant with the whole sale adoption of 5G. It will become a must-have technology and will demand new hardware. True, it was cheaper a few years ago, but it has grown into a higher valuation because of the rise of its services business which offers wider margins.
COMMENT
He has short calls on Apple. The market is brutal on the downside and not rewarding the upside. The economy is good now, but not later, because the Fed is tightening and it can't control the supply chain or oil. He's overall bearish.
COMMENT
With the VIX at 28, find something to buy, then take profits at 19. The Fed is engaging in "demand destruction" to cool off demand and core inflation, which he hopes when we see data next week. Stocks have gotten ahead of this. Most stocks really peaked in February 2021. If Apple and Microsoft can't hold up when they report next week, forget it, we'll be in a bear market. Even if they do, these stocks may still not rally. Beware. Look at Blackstone's report and downward share response, for example. Keep an eye on Apple and MSFT.
BUY
It's so large, it's hard to move the needle with a single product. Spinning off its services. Influenced by revenue growth. Good to buy.
