I'm not sure why I'm posting here, but I can't find a general forum and Apple is something I've been considering. I'm 30, but this is the first time in my life that I have a small savings. I managed to put aside $5,000 and I want to invest it. I have... — read more 

Apple will hit $200 in August, there's no doubt about that. I'm wondering if there's any point in buying now? Is it too expensive at this point? I personally believe the stock will keep climbing, but how high can it go, really, and still be a... — read more 

Honestly, this is one stock that will never give you a headache. Even if it has a bumpy period, you know it's going to recover in no time. The biggest issue is the price. If you didn't have the common sense to buy by now, it's not going to be easy to... — read more

The link is below. Toni is asking what will drive the price up and he has hard time finding channels and products that will deliver. Needless to say he's been bearish on AAPL since 2018 and many discredit his opinion because of that. Anyhow, see it... — read more 

And I'm very grateful to all people who continue to buy every new iteration of the iPhone whether they need it or not. For as long as people are willing to pony up for a new device even with minimal changes, Apple will stay in my portfolio. This is a... — read more
