Apple is a long-term position.
Hold tight on it.

Better believe I am. Times like these are when I wish I had the free cash to hedge with options.

Been using it for a little over a year now. It makes casual trading easy. I was using etrade before that but the trading fees get annoying. Robinhood's fee's on transactions are great. Only issue I really have with it is the few days it takes to add money to your account or liquidate your stocks. (they have a new instant app coming soon I'm on the waitlist for it)
Id say always do your own research... but with that being said Southwestern Energy SWN has been solid for me recently. Energy stocks are going to have a bright future

Gotcha, always good to have the interest especially if you're looking to jump. I meet way too many young cats, who have no idea what P/E ratio is or what the S&P has been trading at, try to convince me that they're interested in finance.I wish. Insurance atm.

PM me if you wanna discuss finance careers.

True, but an underrated aspect of investing is having an eye for what's developing and where/what people are flocking to. Kevin Plank golfing with Obama, the plans for a new 4,000,000 sf headquarters. These might not be P/E ratio's, but they are indicators of trajectory IMO. Or you can look at shoe sales that are up 64% over last years Q1. I'm not buying UA gear over Nike, but its hard not to notice the almost equal amount of UA/Nike that kids 15 & younger wear.
I bought in at $42 a couple weeks ago. Still have a bigger position in NKE, but I don't want to sit around and watch them take market share. UA is the real deal. They will step up their shoe designs eventually.

AAPL pullback is setting up a buying opp. Weekly chart is ugly so I wouldn't back up the truck yet but decent spot to nibble if you were looking to establish a long.

Historically, AAPL stocks drop during iPhone announcements
Agreed. UA is a relatively new company, so with the younger generation having no real brand loyalty and Steph & Cam Newton playing out of their minds, the kids are going to flock to UA and likely stick with it growing up.

Yep AAPL is a sell the news company typically but it's a great stock to buy dips on with a 10 year outlook. Dividend plus mountain of cash plus pipeline equal wet dream.

Cool so im good to reup soon? From what i know apple stock always dip from product launches then pick up 2-3 months after numbers are released for the flagship phone launches. Im new to this stuff though but apple is one company i always looked at

Just build a position slowly and diligently. Nibble here and there because there is a decent chance it could go lower in the interim.

AAPL has a great chance to breakout over the summer, especially at the current stock price. I can't see it going too much lower, it pretty much hit support levels today and bounced off. Long term, looking a few years out, Apple is, like JRS said, a wet dream. All that cash and now the need to spend it

I'm so overweight AAPL it's crazy, but I'm copping more tomorrow or Friday. Also copping some UA soon. Got a nice position in AMZN now, but even at these levels I think I'll regret not copping more 10 years from now. Cats are taking over retail in a MAJOR way.
Started a small position in Illumina (ILMN) after the major drop last week.

In my opinion, people should be looking into the aerospace and defense industry as well. I've been following General Dynamics and have been kicking myself since they reported today (up 3.5%); it's grown 8% this month alone and with the world being in chaos, defense companies are looking like Scrooge McDuck. From a little bit of research, I like GD more than any others at the moment.

A&D is a very resilient, durable sector.
I'd go one step further and look at the companies that service the A&D sector.

Anyone have a position in SQ?
I regret not buying some energy/oil stock earlier this year. My coworker bought CHK at $1.98, and just sold his position yesterday at $7.00, not a bad trade.
