Apple Inc.: A Timeless Investment OpportunityApple Inc.: A Timeless Investment Opportunity Apple Inc. holds a prestigious title in the world of finance as the most valuable company by market capitalization. Its remarkable journey over the past 47 years has seen it achieve unprecedented milestones, showcasing an unparalleled ability to capture the consumer market. One of its standout achievements is the iconic iPhone, which has not only amassed a user base exceeding one billion individuals but has also acted as a catalyst for driving consumer interest across its extensive product lineup. A Remarkable Trajectory Apple's impact on its stock performance is staggering, with its shares having surged by an astounding 135,000% since its initial public offering in December 1980. While some might assume that the prime window for Apple investments has long passed, the company's trajectory suggests otherwise. Notably, even the revered Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has continued to bolster its holdings in this tech giant, further underlining the enduring appeal of Apple's stock. Consistent Growth and Innovation Renowned for its consistent and reliable growth, Apple remains a compelling addition to any investment portfolio. It's worth noting that Apple may not always be the pioneer in entering new markets, but it has consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to leverage existing technology and infuse it with its unique design sensibilities. This approach has allowed Apple to attract fresh users and establish dominance within various industries, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and headphones. Resilience in Challenging Times Even in times of economic adversity, Apple's products have continued to resonate with consumers. While many tech companies grappled with reduced consumer spending, Apple's performance stood out. For example, during the second quarter of 2023, while the PC industry saw a 13% decline in shipments year over year, Apple's MacBook shipments increased by 10%. In the smartphone market, where there was a 24% decline in shipments during the same period, Apple exhibited a more modest 6% decline. The Power of an Ecosystem One of Apple's key strengths lies in its ability to foster an interconnected ecosystem among its products, encouraging consumers to remain loyal over the long term. Exclusive apps like Messages and FaceTime serve as additional incentives for users to stay within Apple's ecosystem. A Bright Future Ahead Although Apple has faced macroeconomic challenges this year, it is poised to benefit as the market rebounds. The company consistently delivers attractive profit margins, with products yielding 35% and digital services boasting an impressive 71% as of Q3 2023. With its commanding position in the tech industry, Apple is well-positioned for potential growth in the coming five to ten years. Resilience in the Face of Challenges Apple's recent stock performance, marked by an 11% decline since the release of its Q3 2023 earnings report in early August, may seem concerning at first glance. However, this marks only the third consecutive quarter of revenue reduction, with a 1% year-over-year decrease in revenue. These setbacks were influenced by a broader consumer retreat in several product segments. The Services Segment: A Beacon of Growth Amid these challenges, Apple's services segment remains a bright spot. In Q3 2023, this segment recorded an impressive 8% year-over-year expansion, contributing significantly to the company's revenue, which reached $21 billion. The services business encompasses earnings generated from subscription-based platforms like Apple TV+ and Apple Music, as well as income from the App Store. An Ongoing Growth Story Considering Apple's historical growth patterns, it becomes evident that seizing opportunities during market downturns can be advantageous. With its commanding position in the consumer technology sector and a flourishing services division, Apple offers the potential for significant returns over the long term. Conclusion In light of these factors, it is abundantly clear that the window of opportunity to invest in Apple stock remains wide open. Apple's resilience, innovation, and ability to adapt to changing market dynamics make it an excellent choice for long-term investors. As it continues to evolve and innovate, Apple holds the promise of delivering substantial gains in the future.

AAPL, Major Trend-Dynamics, Volume, Momentum and Targets!Hello There! Welcome to my new analysis about AAPL on several timeframe perspectives. As AAPL has shown up with this huge bearish price-action to the downside testing the remaining supports at 175 this has been a crucial dynamic from where AAPL should determine further dynamics of its future price-action because if the breakout below the previous supports settled this would trigger a lot more bearish positions to the downside as even already seen before since the pullbacks from the all-time-high area. The fact that AAPL firstly formed the reversal lows here now does not mean AAPL is completely bullish forever however with the formational structure within the local 4-hour timeframe perspective AAPL could setup the major reversal to determine initial target-zones within the structure from where the momentum should be measured once they are reached. If the momentum moves on as it already established before this will provide the price-action for a much larger formation to be completed here. The much larger formation which will be completed once AAPL shows up with the appropriate momentum is a massive ascending triangle formation within the channel and once it has been completed with the necessary momentum it will activate the target-zones mentioned. The final confirmation is going to setup once AAPL formed the breakout out of the boundary into the trend-direction. Especially, if the establish Consumer Demand Expenditures do not decrease further this is likely to accelerate the price-action-dynamics. Thank you for watching my analysis. Support from your side is greatly appreciated. VP

XLK - Bullish Weekly CrossFor the third time in XLK price history we have had a crossover of the 50 weekly MA & 100 Weekly MA. the previous 2 times coming out of the Dot com crash and GFC when this happened it resulted in a quick multi week double digit rally. Will this rally happened again? XLK could rally while other aspects of the market rollover. Why? simply the cash moats of some of the Mega Cap companies insulate them more from rising yields. Im expecting a bounce off the support level.

$AAPL First Touch Since March 13th In today's trading session, Apple Inc.'s stock ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) interacted with a significant technical milestone: it touched its 150-day moving average for the first time since March 13th. This is a noteworthy event for investors who utilize moving averages as part of their trading strategy or for gauging long-term trends. The interaction with the 150-day moving average could be perceived as a crucial turning point, either serving as a support level from which the stock might rebound or as a potential indicator of further downside risk if the stock were to break below this level. Given the importance of this technical marker, investors should consider monitoring Apple's stock closely over the ensuing days to decipher its subsequent trend direction.

APPLE SHORT NOW??Disappointing earning resulted in Apple finally getting that retracement that's been long awaited and finally breaking a 210 day bullish demand line. Now there are three options to consider. At some point Apple IS GOING to test the former resistance shown by the red box and this ss below. Once it does we'll be looking for its Price action. As a Bull I'd like to see option 3 play out, a retracement to the 0.382 fibonacci level, a break above the resistance box and a confirmation of that box as support. This would be a text book bull market retracement before new all time highs and would give us the perfect long opportunity. Option 1 would present a chance for some small quick gains that I will not trade, it could easily represent a lower high which would then give us a great short opportunity, or a new ath which we won't have traded because thr RR probably wont have been there. Option 2 could present a short opportunity if some bearish divergence is formed. I will update when some more data comes through. Share your thoughts below!

AAPL; Major Descending-Triangle, Main Potentials Given!Hello, Welcome to this analysis about AAPL on the daily timeframe perspectives. When considering the individual stocks within the stock market we can watch very different developments currently with stocks such as PYPL or FB showing up with huge declines to the downside while there are others that are holding their ranges as also building up solid potentials. Therefore it is necessary to differentiate the market and look on where are potentials given. Therefore I detected the main formation forming with AAPL that can show a worthwhile opportunity in this market once completed. When looking at my chart now we can watch there how AAPL develops this major descending-triangle-formation with the coherent wave-count in the formation and the wave E remaining to be completed, besides that AAPL has great support in the structure established by the major support-cluster which is marked in orange in my chart, there are coming several supports together in this cluster and this is why there is an increased likelihood given that AAPl bounces in this cluster. When AAPL manages to bounce in the support-cluster and finally settle above the upper boundary of the descending-triangle-formation this will complete the whole formation and AAPL will set up for further continuations. Once the whole formation has been completed AAPL will activate the main target zone marked in my chart, once this zone has been reached the situation needs to be elevated again and AAPL needs to show if it manages to built up further from this point on, it will definitely be an interesting development and for now, AAPL is showing some great establishments that can convert into a fruitful opportunity. In this manner, thank you for watching the analysis, all the best! "There are many roads to prosperity, but one must be taken."

AAPL, Develops Paramount Channel, Potential Bull-Flag-Formation!Hello, Welcome to this analysis about AAPL and the 3-day timeframe perspectives. In recent times AAPL is forming an important development as the zero interest rate policy by central banks is moving further and the money press is flooding the market with cheap money this comes around especially in stocks where we see new all-time-highs in several major stock indices and stocks while the real economy is still not growing in this similar pace. Therefore, with AAPL I discovered a pivotal formation that is likely to complete within the next time. Therefore, when looking at my chart we can watch there how AAPL is forming this massive ascending-channel-formation with the coherent wave-count within the formation and the waves A to D already completed. When AAPL now moves forward to finalize this whole wave-count with the wave-E it will also be simultaneously the origin of the whole bull-flag-formation likely to complete which will happen when AAPL manages to breakout above the upper-boundary. Such a breakout will activate the upper-target-zone at the 280 USD level marked in blue, when this level has been reached AAPL needs to show how it is moving forward from there, it will be a central development ahead. In this manner, thank you for watching the analysis, it will be great when you support it with a like, follow and comment for more upcoming market analysis, all the best!

AAPLE: Take this buy opportunity for a 186.50 targetApple remains neutral on the 1D technical outlook (RSI = 47.572, MACD = -2.560, ADX = 26.090) despite the Death Cross on the 4H timeframe. The 4H MACD just formed a Bullish Cross and the pattern since the July 19th High already bears many resemblances with last September-November (2022). It seems that the market is at the point after the Double Bottom where the price rose to Fibonacci 0.786 before getting rejected on the LH trendline. This is an short term opportunity to buy and target the new Fibonacci 0.786 (TP = 186.50). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

A look back and forward to w/c 18th September #TradewithDaveIn the latest #TradewithDave update we consider some of this week’s big events, and take a look at what’s happening in the week beginning 18th September. US inflation We had the latest updates on US inflation in the form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the Producer Price Index (PPI). While mixed overall, both reports showed some upside surprises, with Headline year-on-year CPI and month-on-month PPI both coming in hotter than expected. Despite fears that higher inflation could lead to the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates further, all the major US stock indices have continued to rally. In addition, the probability that the US Federal Reserve will announce ‘no change’ to its key Fed Funds rate this coming Wednesday barely moved. According to the CME’s FedWatch tool, there’s a 97% chance that the upper band will remain at 5.50%. We also had the ARM IPO, the biggest initial public offering in two years. The shares were priced at $51 each, valuing the company at $54 billion. It was considered a great success as the stock rallied 25% to close at $63.59 on the first day of trading. Tesla – rubber hits the road again Tesla rallied sharply on Monday, ending the session up 10% following an upgrade from Morgan Stanley. Tesla has recovered substantially this year following a drastic sell-off in 2022 on the back of the US Federal Reserve’s programme of aggressive rate hikes. But it suffered a sharp reversal between mid-July and mid-August. Since then, it appears to have found its footing once again. It is up 170% so far this year, trading above $270 per share. But this remains well below the all-time high of $418 hit in November 2021. Check out Tesla… Talking of cars… The US auto sector is in focus as negotiations between major manufacturers Ford, General Motors and Stellantis and the UAW union appear to have broken down. Tensions between the two sides have been mounting as the switch to Electric Vehicles (EVs) has dramatically changed manufacturing priorities. In particular, the move away from making and installing internal combustion engines, in favour of large battery packs. This has resulted in a reliance on battery factories which tend to be ununionized. At the time of writing, around 13,000 workers across all three auto companies have gone on strike. Without a rapid settlement, this has the potential to contribute to a sizeable hit to US growth. Ford and General Motors are both down around 19% since early July, while Stellantis has lost around 10% over the past two months. Check out Ford… Apple suffers a setback Along with many tech stocks, Apple has made back a significant proportion of the fall in its share price during 2022. It rose around 60% from the beginning of this year to mid-July, when it hit a fresh record high around $198, before pulling back sharply over the following month. We then saw it rally again into early September before it slumped 8.5% in two days. This followed reports from the Wall Street Journal that China had banned the use of iPhones by central government officials. The news was denied this week by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning. But the White House said they were following events with concern, and that China’s actions appear to be ‘aggressive and inappropriate corporate retaliation. Apple doesn’t disclose iPhone sales by country, but research firm TechInsights estimates that there were more iPhone sales in China than in the US last quarter. Despite this pull-back in the share price, Apple remains the largest company in the world by market capitalisation. Check out Apple… 🔸 Looking ahead to next week Keeping an eye on ARM The ARM IPO has been hailed as a sign that the new listings market is bursting back to life after a difficult year in 2022. Indeed, several other companies have announced their intentions to go public including the grocery delivery company Instacart, marketing data concern Klavigo and posh sandal-maker Birkenstock. There are now hopes that the IPO market will really take off in 2024. Central Banks Other important events next week include the release of minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s last monetary policy meeting, CPI updates from the Eurozone, Canada and the UK, and interest rate decisions from the Bank of England, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank. The US Federal Reserve But the biggest event in the calendar by far is the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting which concludes on Wednesday evening. As noted previously, the probability of no change in interest rates stands at 97%. However, this is the first FOMC meeting since July when the Fed hiked rates by 25 basis points. It’s also a quarterly meeting which means we’ll see the release of the FOMC’s Summary of Economic Projections. This is where individual members of the FOMC provide their forecasts for inflation, the Fed Funds rate, GDP and unemployment for the rest of this year and beyond. Everyone will be looking for any changes from the last summary in June to provide clues to the Fed’s thinking. Could they now signal that they have raised rates enough, or will they once again caution that inflation could rise again? On top of this, Fed Chair Jerome Powell also hold a press conference which may give further insight into the Fed’s frame of mind.

Apple (AAPL) -> The Company Of The FutureMy name is Philip, I am a German swing-trader with 4+ years of trading experience and I only trade stocks , crypto , options and indices 🖥️ I only focus on the higher timeframes because this allows me to massively capitalize on the major market swings and cycles without getting caught up in the short term noise. This is how you build real long term wealth! In today's anaylsis I want to take a look at the bigger picture on Apple. Since the beginning of 2019 Apple stock has been trading in a solid rising channel and just recently rejected the support area at the $130 level. Apple also perfectly broke above its previous all time high and is coming back for a retest after which I do expect another bullish rally to retest the channel resistance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I know that this is a quite simple trading approach but over the past 4 years I've realized that simplicity and consistency are much more important than any trading strategy.

Assessing Apple's Future: Growth, Cash Flow, and ValuationAssessing Apple's Future: Growth, Cash Flow, and Valuation Introduction Apple Inc. stands as one of the world's premier businesses, offering investors a remarkable journey over the years. Its stock has outperformed the Nasdaq Composite index with a 46% gain in the past three years, despite its market capitalization remaining below the coveted $3 trillion threshold. As investors look ahead, they grapple with questions about Apple's future prospects. With Apple shares currently trading around $178, it's natural to ponder their potential value three years from now. To answer this, several significant trends must be taken into account. Robust Revenue Growth Apple's remarkable performance in the trailing 12 months, with revenue reaching a staggering $384 billion, highlights the company's enormous scale. However, it's essential to recognize that as a company of this magnitude, growth is likely to slow down as significant avenues for expansion become scarcer. Over the last three quarters, Apple experienced year-over-year declines in sales. Nevertheless, from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2022, Apple achieved an impressive annualized revenue growth rate of 11.5%. This suggests that recent challenges may be more tied to macroeconomic factors than intrinsic issues within the company. Tempering Expectations Investors should exercise caution and temper their expectations. Wall Street analysts generally agree that Apple's future trajectory will involve smaller gains, with a projected compound annual revenue growth rate of 3.4% between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2025. While potential growth may come from emerging markets like India, the United States remains a crucial pillar of Apple's success. Unless Apple introduces another groundbreaking product with significant market potential, its growth is likely to decelerate. Cash-Generating Powerhouse Despite its mature phase, Apple remains a cash-generating powerhouse. In fiscal year 2022, the company generated a staggering $111 billion in free cash flow, and for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2023, it produced $80 billion in free cash flow. Additionally, Apple has consistently returned substantial sums of cash to shareholders, including dividends and stock buybacks. Berkshire Hathaway's 6% stake in Apple serves as a source of passive income for Warren Buffett's firm, contributing to Berkshire's decision to retain its Apple holdings. Valuation Considerations Apple's remarkable 2023 performance has elevated its stock price, with a trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 29.8. Historically, Apple's shares have traded at an average P/E multiple of 20.2 over the past decade, indicating that they are currently trading at a premium to their historical norm. The exact reason for this elevated valuation remains somewhat uncertain, but it could be attributed to investors perceiving Apple as a safe haven in uncertain times. Looking Ahead While betting against Apple is challenging, valuation remains a crucial factor. Over the next three years, there's a compelling argument that the stock may not outperform and could potentially underperform the broader market. As the market comes to terms with the fact that Apple's growth prospects are diminishing, the stock may experience a downward rerating. Nevertheless, Apple's financial strength, cash-generating capacity, and brand appeal will continue to make it a compelling investment for many, but prudent consideration of its valuation is essential.
