What's Next for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) Stock Long-Term

By Kyle Anderson, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @KyleAndersonMM - July 22, 2014

Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock has climbed more than 56% in the last year and is currently trading just below its 52-week high of $97.10.

Suppliers in China are set to start producing iPhones with bigger screens in July. In 2011 and prior, all iPhones had a 3.5-inch screen. Then, Apple launched the iPhone 5 and 5s, which sported 4-inch displays. But the newest offerings are reported to have 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens.

Apple: Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth - May 28, 2013

Hauling Apple's CEO Tim Cook to Washington last week to get berated in front of a Congressional committee was sadly nothing more than typical DC kabuki theater.

Corporations have been using similar tax dodges for decades and Congress has always harrumphed and looked the other way. Perhaps because real tax reform would have real consequences?

If Congress actually has the nerve to grab some sketchy offshore corporate revenue, you need to know what it means for your stocks.

How Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) Became the Vampire Squid of Tech

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - March 14, 2012

Business partnerships with Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) produce abundant profits - but usually only for Apple.

Using its clout as a vendor of highly desirable consumer technology, Apple secures extremely favorable deals with suppliers, providers of goods and services, and retailers.

Such deals are a major reason behind Apple's extraordinary profits.

"Can Apple continue to roll through industry after industry, soak up all the profits, and leave everything it touches as a smoking wreckage?" Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein & Co. told the Los Angeles Times.

Despite increases in business volume, many companies that deal with the Cupertino, CA-company discover it's usually a one-sided relationship when it comes to profits.

Apple has, in effect, become the technology world's "vampire squid" -- a term coined by Rolling Stone Matt Taibbi in 2009 to describe Wall Street behemoth Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS).

Apple Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL): When to Buy the World's Hottest Stock

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth - February 21, 2012

Shares of Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) are taking a breather, leaving many investors wondering if they've made an iBoo-Boo.

The hottest stock on the Nasdaq has fallen more than 4.6% as I write this since hitting a new intraday high of $526.29 on February 15, 2012.

Does that mean it's time to sell?

Perhaps, but first you should ask yourself why.

If you're a long-term investor, there's a lot to look forward to. Apple is much more than a brand; it's a lifestyle. People tattoo the company's iconic brand on their rear ends for crying out loud.

Always the innovator, Apple has barely scratched the surface with regard to new devices and has hardly tapped into ways to use them.

People line up thousands-deep to buy newer versions of the company's most basic products every year -whether they need them or not.

That is something no other tech company has figured out how to do.

Plus Apple's market share is growing overseas, with a particular emphasis on the Asian Rim.

In China alone, for instance, there's the potential for another 30-50 million iPhone sales in the next 12 months that could add another $4-6 in EPS to Apple's bottom line.

I remain convinced that Apple could be the world's first trillion-dollar company and I'm not alone in my thinking. Since I first voiced that highly controversial opinion a few years ago, many other firms and analysts have joined me.

How to Play the Short-Term Apple Top

But in the short term, Apple's chart now looks like a classic blow-off top- and technically speaking it is.

Last Wednesday, we saw the stock close near the lows of the day after making a quick run up and a high volume, hi-speed failure midday.

The chart tells the story.
