MacDailyNews Take: Amit. Wild man. Living on the edge.
Don’t hold your breath wall street criminals are in control.
Agreed. The shareholders will only see a tiny amount after the big boys skim the cream. I suppose profit-taking is natural enough but I do think Wall Street is being run by crooks who arbitrarily value stocks for their own specious reasons. I’ll continue to hold my Apple stock for the dividends and buy what little I can on the dips while the big boys drive the stock anywhere they want.
I’m definitely not holding my breath for Apple to climb. If it does, then it does and I’ll consider myself fortunate. I have absolutely no regrets in owning Apple stock.
$142.86, here we come.
For those new to AAPL investing (from the Wall Street Insider Handook):
“Run AAPL up from X to X+3; sell immediately and take the profits back to X+1; buy again two weeks later and run it up to X+4; sell immediately and take the profits back to X+2. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.”
AAPL is an inside/broker’s profit machine, folks. It will always be in play, jumping wildly up and down from now on. Buy on a (relative) dip and HOLD, HOLD, HOLD.
Yep. Up 3 yesterday. Down 2 today. See a familiar pattern here?
