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.

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.

(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
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 ON WEAKNESS
All tech has pulled back, but this has held in relatively well. Hold on. Don't chase, but she buys on pullbacks. Huge install base. Upgrade cycle. Likes the services business, as it's more profitable. Possible subscription model for phones, and the market likes this. Overcoming supply issues, and if it doesn't and stock pulls back, good chance to buy.

BUY
Cyclicals will do better than large-cap tech, which itself will be fine. Apple is at 25x earning and Google at 23x. These PEs will stay constant, so the share prices will rise at the rate of the EPS rising, roughly 8-10%. These are two of the highest-quality companies in the world.
