Many people on Wall Street wrote off Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock after it plunged from its high of over $700 in September 2012 to below $400 by April 2013.
But not Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani.

From the Editor: If you've seen Michael's new briefing, you know why we can't get enough of his research. Today, he gives you yet another reason his subscribers have been able to make so much money.
This is one of the greatest secrets of investing.
It's a strategy that I developed during my 34 years in Silicon Valley. And it will let you tap into some big, big profits for a modest amount of effort.
In fact, this very cool approach to high-tech investing will uncover a bushel of double-digit winners that your friends, co-workers, and others you talk stocks with have no hopes of finding.
Today we're going to perform a bit of high-tech detective work - peering into the shadows of Silicon Valley for profit opportunities most investors don't even know exist.
And I'll even identify the four double-digit profit plays that my sleuthing has already uncovered.
From the Editor: You're receiving special access to Private Briefing today because Bill is tracking a story with far-reaching implications. More than an opportunity to profit, these events will impact the lives of people all around the world. Here's Bill...
Since launching Private Briefing back in August 2011, we've been chronicling the escalating potential for cyber-warfare and cyber-terrorism. And with the cyber-assaults that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) have been launching against America over the last year or so, it's a story that we've been following with an increasing amount of attention. However, this whole cyber-hacking, -terrorism, -warfare story is more than just the latest profit opportunity -
On Monday, the Nasdaq index topped 4,000 - its highest level in 13 years. But unlike the last time this happened, during the notorious dot-com boom, tech stocks are not the prime driving force. The sector that's been pushing the Nasdaq higher this time around is soaring because the companies in it are making gobs of money - and have the potential to make much more.
This is where you want to be invested in right now..
From the Editor: The gains potential here isn't quite as dramatic as the 1,000,000% growth story Michael's covering at Strategic Tech Investor. But a 200% potential gain is still very attractive. Here's Michael...
For the past 20 years, I've had regular conversations with one of the nation's top chemistry experts.
His name is Dr. Robert Fisher and he is a retired chemist who was also a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley for nearly 40 years.
The fact that he's also my father-in-law shouldn't dissuade you from hearing about the hellacious profit opportunity he clued me in on over dinner the other night.
It centers around an industry that I myself have been following since the late 1980s when I began writing about the Reagan-era defense buildup.
Gone, of course, from that time is the Soviet Union and the threat of a nuclear holocaust.
But what remains are a whole slew of miracle materials that scientists were experimenting with to help give the U.S. military a secret edge.
Today, these miracle materials touch nearly every aspect of our economy, from smartphones, to electric cars, computers, semiconductors, consumer electronics, and satellite communications.
In fact, they've now become so critical to the global economy, they're ready to unleash a $1 trillion windfall.

And get ready to hear about an incredible ground-floor tech opportunity. In the meantime, here's why Michael is so willing to share his research with us...
So far this year, the average technology IPO has gained some 60% from its offering price, handing investors hundreds of millions in new wealth.
Of course, by just about any standard, that's a pretty impressive accomplishment in its own right.
But in my world, the world of Silicon Valley venture capitalists, 60% gains are a nice way to get started on the road to lasting wealth.
The truth is, when it comes to achieving the kind of life-changing gains most people only dream about, high-tech is the one area that investors can consistently count on over the long haul.
Just look at the hundreds of billions in new wealth created by the transistor, the Space Race, semiconductors, personal computers, the Internet, smartphones, and new biotech molecules.
And that's only a small part of a very long list of technology that turned entrepreneurs into billionaires and average investors into millionaires seemingly overnight.
I've made no bones about my feelings for Facebook Inc (Nasdaq:FB) - that it's overrated, a flash in the pan, and ultimately doomed.
Yes, the company just knocked the ball off earnings yesterday. And the stock is up 4.86% as I write this. But I really couldn't care less what happens in the short term. I still can't get behind its long-term potential.
This is where the rubber meets the proverbial road for me...
Healthcare.gov’s many problems are turning into a nightmare for President Obama. Calls are growing for HHS Secretary Sebelius’ resignation. But it all could have been avoided had the government turned to this tiny “e-government” specialist. This company’s shares take off with each new project they ace – more than 73% in the past year –
and there’s still plenty of upside…
Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani joined Stuart Varney of FOX Business' "Varney & Co." today (Tuesday) to talk about the latest potential social media IPO on the horizon - Snapchat.
Snapchat is a social network that emphasizes privacy; compare it to Facebook (Nasdaq: FB), which touts the benefits of openness. Snapchat finds benefits in keeping conversations and pictures from spilling over to your entire list of contacts.

The markets weren’t quite sure what to make of Apple’s murky earnings report, as its shares lost, then gained, and then lost again after the release. But Shah Gilani couldn’t be happier with its overall performance. Even the “Reluctant Bull” had trouble hiding his enthusiasm for the stock.
Here's why he thinks Apple is going gangbusters...
After more than 30 years in the markets, I've seen all kinds of new technologies that are supposed to change the world. Most are pumped by little-known companies with overly hyped marketing, aggressive underwriters, and little more than vaporware. To say I'm jaded would be an understatement.
But I ran across something recently that positively made my mouth drop.
We already know about 3D printing. It's all the rage right now, because you can buy a printer for a few thousand bucks and cook up whatever your computer can plot.
But 4D printing?
I don't know whether to be terrified or excited as all hell about this.
It's oh-so-tempting to get caught up in the frenzy of a hot stock like Tesla or Netflix. But as often as not, these sexy stocks aren't all they're cracked up to be, and represent way more risk than reward. Your money is better off in a less flashy stock with much stronger fundamentals.
That's why boring is the new sexy...
Last week's best stocks to buy started out D.C. driven. But when the drama on Capitol Hill subsided - for now, at least - focus turned to third-quarter earnings.
Google Inc.'s (Nasdaq: GOOG) better-than-expected quarterly results and upbeat outlook helped markets move sharply higher.
The S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq logged their best weekly gains in three months, up 2.42% and 3.23% respectively. It was the Nasdaq's best close since September 2000.

Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald visited with FOX Business' "Cavuto" Friday to break down the recently aflame tech and taco markets for investors and, importantly, what to look for in this week's earnings reports.
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) shares have topped $1,000, up 1,076% since it started trading. But is this another dot com bubble? Fitz-Gerald advises investors how to tackle the tech market today.

If you've been joining our twice-a-week get-togethers over at Strategic Tech Investor, you know that I'm a focused and disciplined investor - and that I ignore fads and refuse to chase "hot tips."
I'm also very price-sensitive: Although I'm hunting for stocks capable of delivering "moonshot" price gains, I won't pay a penny more than my charts or "black box" system tells me they're worth.
To enforce that discipline - and to help pass along to you all that I've learned through the years - I developed the set of five rules that we talk about here each week.
But one of my best tools is also one of my simplest. It's a roster of companies whose stocks I'd someday like to own, but that don't currently meet my stringent criteria.
I call it my "Watch List."
