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
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.
David CockfieldOwned

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.
