Apple Stock Will Still Hit $400 per Share

By , Executive Editor, Money Morning -

With the stock markets in disarray as the nation copes with the economic fallout from the coronavirus lockdown, investors are looking for "safe" stocks that will weather the storm.

Apple Inc. is just such a stock.

Here Money Morning Executive Editor William Patalon III interviews Money Morning's Apple expert Dave Zeiler on why Apple is well-fortified to outlast the downturn - and where AAPL stock is headed after that.

Zeiler makes the case that Apple can still reach $400 by 2021...

How Apple Will Continue Its Profitable Cook-Era Run

By , Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI -

On Wednesday, Michael told you about his friend Pete passing on recommending Apple stock decades ago when the late Steve Jobs returned to run the company.

Since then, the stock has gone from a split-adjusted $0.78 a share to $312, where it trades today.

Apple has continued its historic run, rising as much as 395.6% in a little more than eight years and continuing to reach new levels.

If you've been able to make money on AAPL, great - there's more to come.

And if you haven't bought in yet, Michael will show you how the Cook-era profitability is far from over...

Ignore the Media "Noise" and Buy This Next Tech Money-Doubler

By , Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI -

Our Michael Robinson wants to make sure you don't pass up on amazing tech opportunities that you'll later regret and that you get the chance to profit as much as possible.

In fact, it only takes a handful of tech winners - and in some cases, just one - to make you a millionaire, if you know where to look.

That's why Michael's going to talk about a stock that's set to double again in less than five years.

And the first step to taking advantage of this opportunity is ignoring mainstream media...

Why You Should Buy Apple Stock - Even at All-Time Highs

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Apple is trading near all-time highs.

One might assume it's time to cash out, or hold off buying if you don't own any AAPL shares.

But as counterintuitive as it sounds, now is a great time to buy Apple stock.

As its iPhone business matures and levels off, Apple is making a pivot into a new business that will dwarf smartphones and drive the AAPL stock price to $400 a share.

The transition has already started...

This Investing Strategy Could Make You “Markkula Rich” ($203 Million in 6.5 Hours)

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

It’s a game of “if only” millions of investors have played: “What if I had bought Apple stock when it first went public!”

And make no mistake, those gains would have been substantial.

If you had bought AAPL stock at its IPO, you’d have reaped gains of 39,500%.

It would have been like buying a lottery ticket.

But there was a way to land much, much bigger gains from Apple than buying the IPO.

This is how one man made 220,552% from AAPL…

Connect These Two "Dots" to Find True Bargains Like Apple

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report -

Apple stock

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...

"Apple's Greatest Contribution" to Humankind Could Double Your Money... Again

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report -

Apple stock

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.

Consider its latest earnings numbers your engraved invitation...

Sorry, Tim Cook - the First $1 Trillion Company "IPO'd" in 1602

By , Executive Editor, Money Morning -

We recently gave you our own spin on Apple Inc.'s historic move up through the $1 trillion market-value threshold.

I say "historic" because Apple was the first company to pierce that trillion-dollar barrier.

Or was it?

In an intriguing (and kinda cool) piece in its August issue, Money magazine argues the iDevice king wasn't the world's first trillion-dollar company.

Indeed, the magazine said five other companies hit the trillion-dollar mark before Apple. It referred to these five other firms as charter members of the "Four-Comma Club."

"When you search globally and historically, you'll find plenty of examples of dominant corporations that actually dwarf Apple's market size - after you inflation-adjust their value to today's dollars," Money reporter Ryan Derousseau writes. "Once you do that, several dominant companies have already made it into the four-comma club."

I know what you're thinking: "C'mon, Bill, by adjusting for inflation, this writer is playing games with the numbers."

True, but we should be used to games of that ilk: I mean, Wall Street plays games with numbers all the time.

So do most public companies.

This "game" is actually pretty scintillating. And it doesn't change the fact that Apple (which has given you a 266% gain since Zenith Trading Circle Editor Shah Gilani recommended Apple in July 2013 at a split-adjusted price of $60.10 a share) continues to be one of our "Accumulate" stocks.

So let's take a look at the charter members of Money's "Four-Comma Club" companies. Then we'll circle back and tell you why the stock is still on our "Accumulate" list.

Let me share with you why I find this so fascinating...
