MacDailyNews Take: Loaded up before Apple blew past the trillion-dollar milestone.
Oh, Lord, here it comes!
Nah, there’s nothing wrong with buying stock and making money.
And as much as he is maligned in conservative circles, I’ve yet to find proof of anything he’s been accused of. He’s never directly funded Black Lives Matter, or any group that rioted in Ferguson, etc. etc. etc. Just another rich white liberal, only a whole lot richer than most. He should pay a bit more attention to where his indirect donations wind up.
Confusing times what with the Koch brothers now being personae non grata in the Trump camp. Some partisan money is obviously too political for comfort.
Any really rich person, thinks Trumpet is on the level with Donald Sterling.
George Soros smells the $$$$$$ at Apple, before that he wouldn’t even glance at AAPL for a second. Let’s loading up AAPL all up before all the billionaires back up the trucks guys, then there won’t be any more AAPL left for small retail investors like us.
As long as Apple is a publicly traded corporation, there will *always* be AAPL shares available for small investors to buy as long as you are willing to pay the price.
Regarding the praise on this forum for billionaire investors, why give them credit for buying in late to the game?
SOROSSSSSSS*{*}*]*!!!!! You son of a BITCH! You’re responsible for EVERYTHING THAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD! I know because ALEX JONES TOLD ME!!! ARGHHHH!!!
Trimmed stakes in Amazon and Alphabet? Hmmm. But those companies are supposed to pass Apple in overall value. However, he really went all out on Facebook (nearly 3X the amount he spent on Apple). Oh, well, glad to hear Buffett isn’t the only big investor buying up Apple.
A reward toApple for showing its true anticonservative colors. Snarky Remark
