Apple Inc. continues to be a dominant player in the technology space, with a significant focus on its ecosystem of products and services. Despite some concerns about its slower pace in AI development, experts agree that Apple tends to adopt a wait-and-see strategy, allowing others to burn cash in the initial stages before innovating within established frameworks. Revenue reports and improvements in sales from China indicate a strong underlying business, while high margins and a massive cash flow contribute to its financial stability. The stock is highlighted for its resilience, even amid critiques regarding its valuation and lack of a clear AI strategy. Analysts generally view the company's future with cautious optimism, noting that potential M&A activities and collaborations could reshape its market positioning.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 21/18, Up 63%) In the midst of trade war concerns, the timing to buy was great. It has rebounded every since early 2019, trading to new highs. iPhone 11 first orders are reportedly quite strong. The stock trades at 18 times earnings, but inline with the last 10 year valuations. His biggest holding.

BUY
He's long recommended this. Apple hit a a new all-time last week, close to his model price of $244.51. He's trimming his position as the stock rises. Hold or buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 27/18, Up 47%) As usual, the stock goes up until there are fears over iPhone demand, it goes down, then you buy it. He sold his share in August. Apple had guided down their Q4. Buy at pullbacks.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 27/18, Up 31%) He continues to like them for many reasons. The cloud services, the app store and others continue to do well. It is indefensible and people keep buying their products. They increased iPhone orders for parts by 10% -- a good sign. His largest since equity holding.

BUY
It has a low multiple even though it has billions of dollars in the bank. He's recommended this stock in the past. A great company and the new phone is taking off. They under estimated demand and making more.

HOLD
He likes this company, but it is not as cheap as it was back in December. Investors are mistakingly waiting for the next big device -- it is not coming, he thinks. You want to focus on the 1.5 billion of installed devices -- a great way to keep customers stuck with your company (cloud, tv, etc.). The iPhone has become a much smaller part of the pie -- it represents less than 50% of their revenues today.

COMMENT
What happens to the USMCA during the US election and impeachment? If Congress doesn't push USMCA through it will impact the markets and create trouble. Continues to be good, but the issue that their phone continues to generate most of its revenues, despite Apple's move into services. Also the move into streaming will eat up capital. 5G in 2020 will have a great impact on the iPhone. Can they drive their services to more growth. Apple continues to buyback shares and raise dividends, though.

DON'T BUY
Has some concerns. Stock's been sideways the past year. Much of its revenues come from the iPhone, and they're trying to expand beyond this. People won't pay $1000+ for the next iteration of the phone. Lots of cash flow and cash on the books. Would look elsewhere for growth. Doesn't see how its streaming will fit in with the landscape.

COMMENT
He has not owned it for a couple of years. They own elements of the supply chain for what goes into the iPhone instead. It is not as geared to the sales growth of the product. He feels Apple has done a big pivot to the other service offerings they are doing. He would be a buyer near $180 and short it at $220.

(A Top Pick Aug 02/18, Up 8%)A covered call. Bought at $201.50, sold 201 at $(6.54), net cost $195.05, now $210.48 A covered call. Bought at $201.50, sold 201 at $(6.54), net cost $195.05, now $210.48. He's holding onto this. Apple is going well and the CEO has the ear of Trump.
