The charts don't lie: No matter how you cut it, "big tech" – especially the FANGs – is still the No. 1 destination for intermediate- to long-term investing.

While JPMorgan is far from the first Wall Street firm to see a love connection between these two giants of Silicon Valley, Apple stock's increasingly perilous state makes this acquisition more likely than ever.
You see, recent reports from Cupertino suggest that the future of Apple stock is on the rocks.
In fact, just this week, the company's stock slumped over 2% on news that the company's app store revenue had declined last quarter.

There's no shortage of loud distractions out there for investors right now, competing for our precious mental bandwidth. I'm bombarded with it every day, just like you are.
The good news is you can tune all that "stuff" out, because there are really just two things to focus on right now.
First, revenue drives earnings, and earnings drive stock prices – line up one, and the other is almost certain to follow.
Second – and as folks are quickly discovering in my new Straight Line Profits service – knowing how to determine whether a stock should be higher is absolutely critical to your investing success.
I know that sounds obvious, but you'd be amazed at how many investors don't connect the two.
Apple - a company that's already doubled our money - is a great example of what I'm talking about...

There's no doubt in my mind: The string of double- and triple-digit profits we've made together over the years is the strongest possible proof that our approach to making money in topsy-turvy global markets is the right one.
It's tough to argue with success, and if you were following along with our Money Map Report recommendations last year, you took down a least 36 winners – including profits as high as 200.5%, 205%, and 276.9% – while the broad market tanked 6.24%.
You even booked a 100.95% gain on Apple itself, taking all your principal off the table and letting the profits "ride" as a "free trade."
That approach put us light-years ahead of Wall Street and the mainstream financial media, and it's kept us there for more than 10 years.
Now, I could normally give two hoots what they have to say, but the headlines in the wake of Apple's latest earnings numbers said, well… damn near everything we've been talking about for the past two years…
CNBC – "Investors who sold Apple after its first quarter warning are looking silly now"
Bloomberg – "Apple shares climb as the company outlines life beyond the iPhone"
Financial Times – "Apple bets that 900m iPhone users will underpin growth"
China Daily – "Apple opens new chapter as iPhone sales fall"
This proves our point: Life will be just fine without the iPhone!
More importantly, between the lines, it hints at a massive, extremely profitable shift that's just getting underway over at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino.
Apple's getting ready to throw a multibillion-dollar party – one we're all dressed and ready for.

There's no sugarcoating it: Apple took it on the chin this week – and took much of the stock market along for the ride down.
AAPL shares were down about 9% in early trading Thursday following a "rare" earnings warning from CEO Tim Cook.
How rare? The last one was issued by Steve Jobs – in 2002.
The Apple stock price is now down about 37% from its all-time high of $233.47 reached on Oct. 3. The steep decline has Apple investors worried, but this is nowhere near as bad as it looks at first glance – and it's definitely not as dire as the media has been reporting.

Those are just four of the dozens of breathless, almost hysterical chyrons and headlines I've seen plastered across the office television and my computer monitor this morning. U.S. markets have been open for less than 90 minutes as I write this, and the Dow is down around 193 points; the S&P 500, down just under 13.
The market "feels" like it's trying to find a bid. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. If I didn't know any better, I'd think the media wanted us to feel like we're falling down a flight of stairs in the dark.
Because the economy's in fine shape, more of us are working, and we've got what will likely be a mighty solid earnings season coming up in a few weeks' time.
What's happened is emotion has swamped logic; fear is weighted more heavily than value right now.
How did we get here? That's a story for a different day. The important thing is you can make all of that volatility and uncertainty – all the "FEAR!" – work in your favor. Spectacularly, I might add.
I'm not talking about trading the VIX, or puts, or shorting stocks – although you can make a killing doing that, too.
I'm talking about a classic approach to simple, buy-and-hold investing my friend and colleague Bill Patalon told me about.
It takes less than four minutes to learn the ins and outs of Bill's approach – and at the end of it, he's going to name three dynamite stocks to buy for this market.
It couldn't be easier. Let's take a look...

After leading the market since the bull market began in March 2009, the pullback in the formerly high-flying FANG stocks seems like a good opportunity to buy them on sale.
However, trying to go after them right now is like catching a falling knife, warns Money Morning Quantitative Specialist Chris Johnson.

As some of the tech darlings have fallen rather sharply over the past couple of months, I begin to get the inevitable questions about the wisdom of buying these market darlings.
Everyone just assumes that because I am an investor, I care about these stocks. After all, they're the ones on the news and in the papers – the stock market equivalent of "must-see TV." The truth is that I don't give a rat's furry behind about the "growth and glamour" stocks.
Why? I could never justify paying the multiples of asset value and cash flow that these stocks fetch at any given moment in time… except in the aftermath of a precipitous decline.
But are they on sale "enough" to suit my tastes or, since you're here, move me to recommend that you spend your hard-earned ducats on them?
