^^^^ Heisy on April 30, 2016, when AAPL was at $93.74Today, AAPL sits at $148.96, up 59% from April 30, 2016.Thanks, Heisy. What other stocks do you hate?
And I'd point out that it's at yet ANOTHER all-time high today, but that would be piling on.
Fake news.
My son was watching Manchester City vs Leicester city this morning. LC had a penalty kick and the shooter's plant foot slipped and he actually kicked the ball off of his plant foot and into the goal. It got waved off due to the soccer rule that does not allow for double touches on penalty kicks. My son yells "Worst mistake ever." I replied, "No, selling Apple at $90 was the worst mistake ever." He had no idea.
Crap. AAPL somehow up to $157.
Self charging I-phone dubbed the I-phone 10.If that rumor is true, the stock might be currently undervalued.
Are you talking about inductive charging? If so I've had that on my Galaxy S7 for over a year. Not sure how that changes the game for the iPhone.
What am I gonna do with all this dead money???
Yawn!ANOTHER all-time high!But if any of us were really smart back when Smuggles told us not to buy AAPL at 90, we would have instead invested in LMT, NOC, GD, RTN, BA - any and all companies that make bombs and the means to use them. We loves our bombs more than ever!
For what its worth, not that it makes him any less incorrect, but AAPL is being used to artificially prop up the market for the last month or so. Negative growth in AAPL, earnings and revenue are down over the last 24ish months. But yet its being used with the VIX to grind the market higher, both SPY and QQQ. Meanwhile, many stocks are below their moving averages and are actually down on the year despite the market continuing to push higher. Indicies moving higher but rising tide isn't raising all boats. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.Again, its just noise for those in here who love to crow about buying and holding indefinitely, but I personally don't think its a great time to load any portfolios.
I noticed SBUX is hovering around its 52 week low. Anyone have thoughts on it?
Considering ARLP. Any Scoop thoughts? Opened today at $19.00. Huge div yield.
Coal??...Yikes, not sure that is a commodity I would be investing in.As MU82 mentioned, MLPs are pretty complex and can screw up your tax returns. You usually have to wait a while until the companies generate the K-1 tax form. It will probably come right around tax day, sometimes even after and you may need to have your return amended.The advantages are of course, the high yield and that the distributions are generally not taxed, they are seen as a return of capital, so your basis in the MLP gets reduced but you will pay the tax when the MLP is sold.
Wouldn't you know it ... that pesky AAPL just hit ANOTHER all-time high!!!Thank goodness I followed Smuggles' expert advice and avoided it at 90! I would have hated to have experienced that 86% gain!!Eh ... no biggie. I probably woulda only used half the profits on hookers and blow (and wasted the rest).
