I'm still up over 100% from my initial investment, but for a while now, I've wondered if their moat is eroding

Yes.
Plus people don't need to pay $1200 for a phone.

Or I guess should say de-escalated

Methinks Apple has lost China....forever, compared to expectations priced in (still). Never hurts to take profits out of play....

I predict AAPL will do nicely today....so there is that ;)....

I have no clue...

Anybody hanging on to their apple stock? As mentioned above taking profits is not a bad thing. Might do that.....

Doomed I say.

$245 Billion cash on hand and they are done.

How many years could they operate without even producing one new product?

I moved on. It was really more of a change in my investing strategy than anything. 100% return not including dividends ain't too shabby.

1 year 3 month 2 days.

Beat estimates and up $10 after market closed plus higher dividend!

I hope everyone here took this post as a strong BUY signal and you would have done nicely.

Thankfully the stocks I bought to replace Apple have done well, not as well but enough to take the sting off😀

$252

Wow...

Rock on boyz ;)!

Apple is killin' it in the cloud, and the phones are adequate to retain existing customers (not to mention fan boyz).

MSFT is doing even better in cloud svcs, and it look like Oracle is getting their cloud act together too.

I still have some I bought around $80 before the 7 way split. Done very very well.

I do wish I didn't sell at $24 way back when. That might have been a mistake...

$280 yesterday

$300.

Patience has its benefit. Yay apple!

Another wow :). That would be 2100 from the beginning of this thread....

Don't be askeered to take profits boyz....(and buy back when it's lower)....because apples fall off the tree on occasion too....btdt a couple of times....bruised apples ;)

Apple Soars on Strong iPhone Sales in China

Shares of Apple gained as much as 2.1% on Thursday 9 January, as demand for iPhones soared once again in China, after the iPhone maker warned investors in January 2019 of the serious slowdown in the Chinese market.

iPhone sales rose 18% in December from the same period last year, much stronger than Wall Street’s projection. Per the data by China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, Apple had shipped about 3.2 million iPhones to China in December against December 2018’s 2.7 million.

China is a crucial market for Apple, as the Asian country accounts for about 17% of the company’s total sales. Apple carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

$322 in after hours trading.

Basically doubled since I sold...wonderful.

I did buy at $84 and sold at $168 so that's something...but not as nice as selling at $322!

Call me crazy, but today I wanted to add a new stock to my portfolio and I picked Apple over Tesla. Long-term, I think it's the better pick. TSLA is way over-valued, mostly because Musk is like Justin Beiber to young investors.

It will be interesting to see what the coronavirus does to Apple. They have suspended all operations in China, like many other companies. The citizens of China can't travel or even go to work.

It may hurt sales for Apple. But its doing the same for all the competition as well. Sales should average out over the longer term (when the corona virus is over). My .02

Apple comprises a whopping 43% of Warren Buffett's portfolio

Earning beat and a 4-1 split.
$407+ after hours today.
I sold earlier this year.
Kicking myself.

👋 😃

Only up $24 a share today...

Don't rub my nose in it or I'll get back in BIGLY... and that'll learn ya :D!

Canadian Pot.... LOL :(

Haha! Stay away!
Amazing this thread is coming up on its 8 year anniversary.

I’ve only bought AAPL, never sold a single share since the beginning of this thread.
I do think, however, that a big decline is coming. So I don’t really count all the gains as “real.”
I just don’t think this picture can be maintained.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596220970.jpg

Holy cow. And I had been tempted to put in an order to sell at $400

Never be afraid to take profits out of "the game". Anyone who's been in APPL for years has experienced the 50% drop like I did once (08-09 methinks) but it recovered.

I wish I had not sold TSLA at 33 too :D.

Just don't buy Pot stocks :)

Might be a dumb move but I am planning to buy some APPL since it will increase after the split in my opinion. We shall see.

Also, can anyone direct me to the general stock talk thread? Thanks
