Apple stock. Ouch!

The iPhone sales slow down but the rest of the company does well. And the market proceeds to punish the stock. I just don't get it. The stock should be well over $200 IMO.

Also DU tends to look for “bad news” about Apple and get all hyperbolic about it. JMHO of course.

see something coming and this is just a self-fulfilling adage this time around? The markets have been totally nonsensical to me almost since TFG descended down that elevator in 2016.

I’ve heard it. I believe that was in the sense that they have the largest market capitalization value. Apple and a few other company’s like them have been given credit for driving much of the market rally this year.

I take a look at its 1-year chart and I feel a whole lot better.

My take/experience is similar to spooky’s. But of course time will tell.
