Apple Inc.
AAPL179.58
AAPL $10 off all time highs. Yet people can’t afford basic housing, groceries, anything. Racking up record amount of credit card debt. Fuck this world
Bears, if AAPL beats earnings, Jpow signals soft landing again and SPY hits 430 EOW are you going to continue shorting?
$AAPL just mooned over 170
AAPL 170p weekly
SPY is literally just AAPL lmfao
Thanks Bejesus for NVDA and AAPL
AAPL 200 EOM
bears: we’re still in a bear market
Replied to someone else closing their shorts. Right now there’s resistance at $287 while also making a new divergent high on a week ahead of a FED meeting and AAPL earnings. This just looks like the bulls trying to pop it up before it sells off. I’m okay with the risk/reward on shorting NVDA now.
AAPL earnings are literally free money
Riding these AAPL calls until Thursday before close
Meanwhile I just opened a NVDS position. Resistance at $287 while also making a new divergent high on a week ahead of a FED meeting and AAPL earnings. I’m calling it now this is likely the top. This just looks like the bulls trying to pop it up before it sells off.
$AAPL pushing green now
if FOMC dumps the market on wednesday, AAPL earnings will just pump it back to a wash on thursday
AAPL poots
AAPL tape:
order

AAPL: +.3%
so go all in aapl put?
SPY and AAPL really get under my fucking skin.
Rolled over the money from my FRC puts into AAPL 185 calls since FRC got delisted
My calla go in until 5/5 so fingers crossed If it does pump up tomorrow it'll probably be a good bet to throw whatever return into AAPL.
Dude, going neutral in a bear market like this is actually doing very well.
The only stocks to really post any gains the past two months are the megacaps like AAPL and MSFT. Outside of those its been a bloodbath.
Wen aapl precovid 70?
AAPL with some wicked moves already today
AAPL dumps, Spy unphased
AAPL pump, Spy rocket
>But couldn't one make the argument that VOO already has plenty of international exposure?
You can try to make that argument, not in reality it provides zero of the exposure that actually matters.
>Most (if not all) S&P500 companies operate internationally.
And many large foreign companies do business globally (including within the US).
>Wouldn't that link them (and also VOO) to the fate of the global market?
Not in the way that matters: baiting how foreign stock markets behave. No amount of KO or AAPL will do that for you, they'll still act like US stocks.
>I'm honestly asking because I don't know but it seems logical to me.
Tip me out should fall apart with even 10 seconds of thinking about it: not a single personal vehicle in my work's parking lot would be in VTI, all would be in VXUS. Plenty of electronics are Asian branded. European brands are found in cleaning supply closets, medicine cabinets, and kitchen pantries across the US. But that doesn't mean that FZILX (an ex-US only fund) is all you need to cover the US.
These links should all at minimum touch on the idea:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/vpv7js/share_of_sp_500_revenue_generated_domestically_vs/ - The argument that “US companies have plenty of foreign revenue is sufficient ex-US coverage” is highly tilted towards a few sectors, some have almost no coverage. Also what about in reverse- how many big foreign companies have lots of US exposure?

The last decade or so of US outperformance was mostly just the US getting more expensive, not US companies being much better than foreign companies: https://www.aqr.com/Insights/Perspectives/The-Long-Run-Is-Lying-to-You (click through to the full version), I believe this is referenced in the YouTube link above
Look at the cash flow statement for share buybacks. AAPL does not need to borrow to fund operations or R&D. All the borrowing is to buyback shares. Shares outstanding have declined from 21B in 2016 to 16B.
AAPL: bleeding out
SPY: lol fk it UP WE GO
>because I feel like VTI has sufficient global exposure
It provides none of the type that actually matters: capturing how foreign stock markets behave. No amount of KO or AAPL will do that for you, they'll still act far more like US stocks.

>what additional fund should I buy every week?
VXUS would be the most common suggestion.
NVDA and AAPL are inversely correlated, weird
Sooo… why don’t you just buy voo sphd some JEPI or make your own “etf” portfolio and go something like ko pep aapl msft as a start and add other sectors into it
come on down AAPL I want a good price before earnings
Yup yup and the gap is filling
Bears are going to go nuts when the Fed doesn’t raise rates and AAPL makes it to 185
I have a slight correction penciled in for mid-June, but only 5% off whatever high until then
I think you are right that most people would rather clip coupons than buy in on AAPL here. The company's earnings would have to be an absolute smash for its stock price to justify current valuations.
I am. I think most people would rather clip coupons than buy in on AAPL here. Earnings would have to be an absolute smash just to keep valuations where they are now.
AAPL $150P 5/12
Anyone brave enough to short aapl?
Opened a short position on AAPL and MSFT. Bought some calls both for fun and hedge since though there is no good news AAPL might still reach ATH lol. Bought one naked weekly put of Nvda for fun too.
Who wakes up and thinks buying MSFT or aapl at ATHs is a good idea lol
Need aapl to $160 this week. Any chance?
Head and shoulders on the SPX today?
​
Could be that controlled exit before FOMC/AAPL earnings.
Maybe not EOD, but there’s certainly a risk-off selloff possibility between today and tomorrow.
The real deal will probably take place between AAPL earnings and CPI
Over 1M shares traded to push AAPL over 170.00.
Aapl is priced in till 2050
Aapl into earnings easy play at resistance gonna boom or bust
It’s because much of AAPL’s cash is stashed in offshore tax havens and Apple cannot repatriate it without paying tax. Same concept as a billionaire paying their expenses with loans backed by assets, rather than generating taxable income. It’s tax avoidance.
I remember it going down a few times after good earnings, idk what’s gonna happen but I’m not buying any options on AAPL around earnings, IV crush is real.
I expect some green still, but today and tomorrow are prone to risk-off selloffs, which could invalidate the technical setup created during the last 2 days of last week.
The 0.25 hike is pretty much guaranteed, and if AAPL isn’t able to deliver very good results, we could initiate a month-long dive.
Hold AAPL 07/21 170c through earnings or dump right before?
100x weekly FD puts on AAPL. Lambos or
looks like AAPL and semis carrying everything today
imagine aapl tanking 15% on earnings
Lol, no it's not for compaines like AAPL, msft, AMZN.
What you expect them to sit on millions of dollars and never take profit and buy stuff for themselves or family?
AAPL earnings and FOMC this week. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
AAPL going to signal the top this week?
Not with an earnings week like the one we're looking at...
You might want to get friendly with that page. Not that I'm ultimately disagreeing, but a grab-bag glory hole probably isn't the best way to look for fun.
Sure, you might get a nice, soft, warm tongue in yer pooper. But, should AAPL or AMD do good things? You may find that the BBC ain't just a news organization.
AAPL🍏by open
Wow and it turns out no one gives a shit about 4750 of those.
That's like saying AAPL earnings doesn't matter because there's a brazillion tech companies out there.
Hopefully AAPL announces that Siri is now an AI chatbot
You already have a bet going - AAPL to 163.5 before 05-May-2023 09:54 PM -05
I was afraid of the stock market and investing until only a few years ago because my only exposure to it was "exciting" day trading, buying x number of shares of AAPL and selling x number of shares of TSLA or whatever, and I correctly recognized that as socially acceptable gambling and decided I wanted no part of that. At that point, I even had a 401k through my job and had been guided through setting up deposits to get the match and picking a target date fund, but I still had absolutely no idea that I had also invested in the stock market there until I happened to stumble on this sub.
Aapl earnings and feds last hike and we land on the moon 🌙

Calls for AMD and AAPL for sure but not SHOP. SHOP is a junk.
The problem for investors is that none of the existing players are likely to be the winners. MSFT, AAPL, GOOG and AMZN all came out of nowhere. The future AI winners probably haven't been founded yet.
Searching for stocks, consider factors like the stock's volatility, liquidity, and stability. Higher implied volatility typically results in higher option premiums, but it also comes with greater risk. Look for stocks with a good balance of these factors to maximize your potential returns while managing risk.
You can look into Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and NVIDIA (NVDA). These stocks tend to have reasonably high liquidity and can offer decent premiums, though you should assess each stock's suitability for your strategy and risk tolerance.
To discover more stocks suitable for this strategy, check out articles on the best stock picking service. These resources provide well-researched and analyzed stock suggestions, which help you identify suitable candidates for covered calls and cash-secured puts.
Some commenters here are not be speaking rationally about AAPL and projecting everything linearly. While it is true that AAPL currently has low cost debt and is a rapid paced growing company with significant competative advantage, it is important to remember that no company can grow indefinitely without experiencing setbacks. Taking on debt today is always a cause for concern for debt on those days, as it can negatively impact future cash flows and the ability to pay back the debt, driving valuations lower. In the event of a sector or company-specific shock, the impact could be magnified and lead to a "snowflake effect."
AAPL price predictions end of this week?
Tomorrow we see a 2% pullback. Why? Cause I have aapl puts
You already have a bet going - AAPL to 163.5 before 05-May-2023 09:54 PM -05
Gun to the Head: option 1: buy aapl right at ath
Option 2: buy a house at ath
I think they'll kill earnings. You can make a bear argument in the mid-term, but I think short and long-term that AAPL is going to be a buy.
AAPL never seems to meaningfully pull back outside of the consequence of market pressures.
As overpriced as AAPL is stock is compared to their book value, I think it's incredibly well managed. I would not consider shorting unless there were big changes in their c-suite.
Ban Bet Created: /u/Deadlymedley333 bet AAPL goes from 169.54 to 163.5 before 05-May-2023 10:54 PM EDT
Their record is 0 wins and 0 losses.
!banbet aapl 163.5 5d
aapl is going to 180 and you're gonna fuckn like it
A few good short YouTube’s out there. But essentially, it’s a contract to buy 100 shares of a stock at a certain price by a certain date. I think AAPL will go up $2 a share. Instead of buying a couple shares of Apple and making $4, I buy a contract to buy 100 shares at the old price. That contract is worth an extra $200 (two dollars a share) once AAPL rises by $2.
Essentially options let you lose even more money much faster. If you don’t have time to read what they are, you’re not doing you due diligence and are very likely to lose a lot of money.

AI Siri to be everyone’s girlfriend. AAPL to 1K
Waiting for aapl to go up a bit more before i load up on puts for earnings
I feel like there is a legendary man who bet on aapl earnings only to make a 'guh' sound.
I don’t think we drill tomorrow, but probably some consolidation leading into FOMC and AAPL earnings for next leg higher or lower
425 before AAPL earnings 435 after
I mean, selling an AAPL put requires like 2k margin. We’re seeing bets here in the hundreds of thousands…
Moved $65k of my 401k to an S&P ETF inside my 401k on Friday. Should I just double that with AAPL announcing this week?
RSI is super overextended after that big 2 day rally so Monday will likely be red. AAPL earnings on Wednesday will be the launch even if they are mediocre
To be clear, they aren’t a choice that chooses more safety but lower upside. Index funds have the best average returns of the things you can invest in. You won’t get the crazy riches of finding the next TSLA or AAPL, but you probably won’t manage that anyway.
Safety isn’t how I’d think of index investing. “Best returns” is. But that still means sometimes, rarely, negative returns. That will not happen with CDs, but neither will 8-10% annualized yield.
Big breakout first to murder the last of the bears then dump next week or possibly later this week after AAPL beat
The guy discovered a glitch on Robinhood that essentially allowed him infinite leverage. He used that glitch to borrow a shitload of money and bet it all on short dated AAPL puts leading up to earnings.
We’re pretty close to top end of the range….I don’t think we break through 420 before FOMC, but maybe with AAPL earnings…
both AAPL investors and users are equally stupid
but the thing is, theres so fuckin many of them. its like that Einstein saying about underestimating human stupidity
Everything else could sell off, but as long as passive investors keep making automatic contributions to the indices AAPL will autopump.
