$Apple(AAPL)$  I am amazed by all the excuses people can make for apple and their decision to collaborate with google's gemini as their AI solution for Siri (which has been struggling to keep up). Talking how it cuts down costs and all, but it raises the issue that this aspect will not be fully done in-house. Siri looked like a competent assistant at Inception, but apple seemed to not keep working on it, a surprising approach, considering apple either goes all out or brutally amputates the limbs that do not flourish (look at the production of their own in house chips for their macbooks, it not only phases out intel as an external supplier, but boosts performance while using lesser power). Choosing to work with s

$Apple(AAPL)$  I had been rolling over my put options for Apple. It just need 1 Big push factor and i believed that it will turn bullish soon once it reaches its double bottom. 

$Apple(AAPL)$  Apple sits in the tech sector much like Berkshire holds weight as a conglomerate heavyweight. Looking at these companies on a short term basis poses risk where long term plays create profit opportunities and market risk protections. Periods, such as these last weeks always present long term plays for those using the stock as part of a broader portfolio strategy.

The 52-week trading range for AAPL is $168.63 to $288.62.

" $Apple(AAPL)$ stock in 2026 is what $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ was in 2025."Dan Ives is bullish on APPL and is supportive of its recent Gemini deal with $GOOGL.I don't see the comparison, though. At the 2025 lows, GOOGL traded for a P/E of 17, despite 10%+ Revenue growth.Today, APPL trades for a P/E of 37, despite only 8% top line growth estimates.AAPL is a zero in AI, and it seems they are throwing in the towel and will just partner with the best provider, and today that might be Gemini.This seems like a shortsighted decision to me.Yes, they are saving billions in R&D and capex today, but at the cost of possibly hundreds of billions of future revenues.I don't believe that depending on GOOGL for such a crit

$Apple(AAPL)$  is oversold with a solid short-term bottom forming! Get ready for a rally to 272.

$Apple(AAPL)$  Whether Apple has reached a durable bottom after 6 weeks of losses is debatable: Per the bullish views of  Wedbush or Evercore, the current drawdown is a "waiting game" because the market has not yet priced in an "AI premium" for 2026. In my opinion, this is a rather simplistically optimistic take. Now the bearish or neutral view of Forbes, a potential stagnation is warned due to overvaluation that suggests the stock may consolidate rather than rally in the near term at least. Now to conclude, I prefer to take a middle path and feel we can see it at aroubd $300 i.e.  ~ 15% rise. 

$Apple(AAPL)$  Apple: Has the stock formed a durable bottom? After six consecutive weekly declines, Apple is showing early stabilisation signals, but not yet a confirmed durable bottom. Why a short-term bottom is plausible Positioning reset: Sentiment and positioning have materially de-risked. Many fast-money sellers are already out. Fundamental floor: Services margins, buybacks, and cash flow remain intact, limiting downside compared with prior hardware-led drawdowns. Smartphone leadership regained: Shipment leadership supports revenue stability, even if unit growth remains modest. Why patience may still be required Earnings revisions have not turned: A durable bottom typically coincides with stabilising or rising forward EPS. AI monetisatio

Apple (AAPL) Market Trends and Factors Analysis Smartphone Market Leadership Apple reclaimed the top spot in global smartphone shipments in 2025, marking the first time since 2011, with a 20% market share for the year and a record 25% in Q4 2025. The iPhone 17 series and continued strong demand for the iPhone 16 played a significant role in this growth, particularly in emerging and mid-sized markets. This leadership position is expected to contribute positively to Apple's first-quarter financial results for 2026. However, the global smartphone market is projected to slow in 2026 due to DRAM/NAND flash shortages and rising component costs, as chip manufacturers prioritize AI data centers. Despite this, Apple's strong supply chain and premium market positioning may allow it to remain resilie

🌟🌟🌟 $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ recent upward momentum is driven by accelerating AI investments, AWS reacceleration and major partnerships like OpenAI's multi billion dollar cloud commitments.  This naturally makes shareholders wonder how to enhance returns or protect gains. If you already own Amazon shares, a good options strategy is a Covered Call strategy. The purpose is to generate extra income from your existing shares.  You are bullish long term but you don't mind selling some shares at a higher price. How it works: You sell a call option against your AMZN shares.  You collect a premium upfront.  If AMZN rises above your strike price, your shares may be called away but at a profit. This options strategy is great for investors who

$Apple(AAPL)$   now no one like to eat fruit... So no one buy.  Now everyone buys AI stocks.  Apple is a fruit and fruit is not intelligent like AI.  Apple drop until weekly 20ma support, so maybe it will stop dropping? But when you check analyst low end target price, it's 215, so maybe it will drop more. I don't care because I don't like fruit so I don't buy Apple 

$Apple(AAPL)$   1. What is driving the recent pullback Apple has now traded lower for seven consecutive sessions, with the stock down roughly 4–5 per cent from recent highs. This streak is the longest in many months and reflects broader sentiment turning cautious.  Key near-term drivers include: • Profit-taking and seasonal weakness after strong gains late last year and into early January.  • Investor caution over growth sustainability, especially in smartphone markets where demand is moderating in China and elsewhere.  • Concerns about margin pressure from rising component costs, notably memory prices, which could weigh on gross margins.  • Sector rotation from mega-cap growth stocks into value or cyclicals in the cu

$Apple(AAPL)$ well, buy the dip or investment trap? Let me think. To buy a dip, it must be a dip. And to understand if it's a dip, I think you need to do ALOT of DD to find out. So let's go there with apple, from a personal users perspective. Buckle up tiger friends cause it's story time. So in 1988, I started my journey towards a university degree in business.

This is not panic. This is a repricing debate. The Sell-Off: What the Chart Is Really Saying Seven red days rarely happen in Apple without a reason.

Apple's Options Volume Rise as iPhone Maker Trails Mag 7 Peers $Apple(AAPL)$  's options volume rose as investors sought protection against volatility that has hit this year's worst performing Magnificent Seven stock. Shares of the iPhone maker has tumbled about 5% since the start of the year, outpacing the 1.5% decline for  $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$, 1.3% for $Meta Platforms (META.US)$, 0.8% for $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ and $Tesla (TSLA.US)$. By contrast, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ jumped 6.4%, while $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ advanced 4.9%.  Apple shares have fallen amid concerns over rising memory chip prices as surging demand from artificial intelligence drive shortages.

It is not easy to decide whether a buy opportunity or value trap after Apple's recent dip. Not Apple fan anyway and can wait for other opportunities.

$Apple(AAPL)$   ​Apple’s 7-Day Bleed: The ‘Trap’ Every Trader Needs to See Before Earnings ​Is the "iPhone Supercycle" already over, or is this the ultimate bear trap? ​Apple ($AAPL) has just clocked its seventh consecutive session of losses, shedding over 4% in a single week. For a mega-cap defensive stock, this kind of consistent selling pressure is rare. ​The timing is suspicious. We are weeks away from the FY2026 Q1 earnings print—expected to be the first full quarter showcasing the impact of the iPhone 17 lineup and the new iPhone Air. Analysts are projecting record highs in revenue and shipment volumes, yet the price action suggests Smart Money is heading for the exit. ​Is this a classic "Buy the Dip" setup, or is the market pricin

$Amazon (AMZN) $The stock price has shown an upward trend in recent days. On 2026-01-07, it rose 3.08% intraday, and closed at 246.29 USD on 2026-01-09, up 1.96% from the previous day).Amazon's strategic actions in the field of AI have become a key driving force. For example, the company plans to invest US $10 billion in OpenAI to strengthen AI technical barriers, which is seen by the market as a signal to improve long-term competitiveness. At the same time, the Bank of America Securities report predicts that 2026 will be the "first year of independent AI", and Amazon is listed as one of the leading stocks due to its layout in cloud services (AWS) and smart commerce.Amazon is currently facing technical overbought, rising short pressure, uncertainty i

📈📉 The U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report is one of the most closely watched economic indicators in global financial markets. Released on the first Friday of every month, it measures the change in the number of employed people in the U.S., excluding farm workers, private household employees, and non-profit organizations. Despite its simple definition, the NFP report often triggers significant volatility across stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. Why NFP Matters to the Stock Market At its core, the NFP report provides a real-time snapshot of the health of the U.S. economy. Employment growth drives consumer spending, corporate earnings, and overall economic expansion. For stock investors, this data directly influences expectations around: • Corporate profits • Federal Reserve intere

How the NFP Report Really Affects the Stock Market Every first Friday of the month, markets around the world pause for one key number: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). Even investors who don’t trade U.S. stocks feel its impact. Futures jump, charts spike, and suddenly everyone is asking the same question: “Is this good or bad for the market?” The answer is rarely simple. ⸻ What Is NFP — in Plain English The NFP report tells us how many jobs were added or lost in the U.S. economy over the past month. It excludes farm workers and a few other categories, but what matters is this: NFP is the clearest snapshot of how strong (or weak) the U.S. economy is right now. A strong job market means people have income, spend more, and support business growth. A weak job market suggests the opposite. But her
