BUY

It’s a tremendously innovative and profitable company. He wouldn’t hesitate to own it hear, even though it is a bit rich compared to historic numbers. He believes we are going into a good iPhone refresh cycle. Cook has done a good job in dealing with the tariff war. He expects to see a bundle of their services soon.

BUY
The iPhone 11 is a smashing success and the stock is up 70%. The market under-priced it. It should now trade at a Microsoft-like multiple.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 30/18, Up 51%) He couldn’t understand why people were down on the company. It has tremendous cash in the bank, and he would like to see them acquire more AI companies. The multiple is reasonable. He still thinks its a reasonable company to own.
COMMENT
AMD vs Apple vs Canadian Tech? His price target for AMD is $41.50 -- pretty close to full value right now. Apple will continue to melt up and you should be able to price it cheaper than today. He has a price target of $265. A Canadian stock like CGI would be good.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 15/19, Up 33%) The Chinese are keen on brands, and Apple is superb with branding. He hung onto it, not selling as it rose. Apple's vast cash is a hedge if there's any downturn.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 20/18, Up 49%) Still likes it. Trading in a nice range. Transitioning from hardware to services. Overhang is dependence on iPhone, but they are growing services side.
TOP PICK
New products. Incremental price tweaks are beneficial. Yield is 1.19%. (Analysts’ price target is $253.41)
BUY
Environmentally friendly? Yes, they are. They buy carbon credits. Apple issued a billion-dollar green bond to finance their renewable energy projects. Also, they have their next-gen robot, Daisy, that disassembles their old phones. Their biggest issue is with Chinese manufacturers who don't treat their employees well, which is a red flag in ESG. That said, he would feel comfortable owning Apple. Apple scores in the 99th percentile for environmental, very high. He's pleased to see them being ESG leaders. They have massive reputational risk, so they need to keep their scores high.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 09/18, Up 19%)synthetic long Apple He bought a call and sold a put. It acted like the underlying stock. He didn't put up any money, and got a 60-cent credit right out of the gate. He closed everything last Friday and got $40.75/share--a huge win. He tamped that down and put up 30% margin. So, that 19% return would triple. He took that off the table though and simply bought Apple which was up 19%. He was being conservative.
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
Still likes it through earnings have been mixed overall. Tech's earning resilience surprises many investors at this stage of the cycle. He expects the tech sector's growth and earnings to hit double digits in 2020 and money to move back in these stocks.
SELL
He sold because much of revenue comes from iPhone. Risk management concern. Issues in China. Smartphone growth slowing. Not the Apple of 5 years ago. Has done well, pulled away from the rest of the FANGs.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 22/18, Up 8%) Consumers re-purchase their products and their service division is strong. However, the China trade tension gives him pause; so, he's watching the trade talks. He's also worried about the NBA controversy in China. Cautious.
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.
