Apple Inc

It's always difficult to write about a company that has so much information and misinformation swirling around about it. Most of it is based on someone's self interest. Some of those opinions are based on swaying product sales, some are based on influencing the stock price, and some are simply based on the individual egos of the writers of the articles. 

I've written a couple of articles on Apple Inc ("Selling Apple Puts" and "Value Investors are Now Buying Apple") and I look at Apple from an investment perspective. To me Apple is a company in transition. It's transitioning from a trader's stock to a value investor's stock. And dividend growth investors are piling on.

There's plenty of articles written about the relationship between Apple's stock price and Apple's product launches which really doesn't need to be repeated here, but it's important to know that the stock in Apple has the tendency to increase in value leading up to each new product launch and then suffers a pullback once the product is announced. It's done it so many times that almost every investor already knows about it. 

So if you're a swing trader this stock may just be for you. If you're a dividend growth investor, this stock has transitioned into a company that now pays an increasing dividend and it may just be for you. And if you just believe that Apple ends up owning every market it enters, this may be just the stock for you. 

Good Luck and Good Investing.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
