Is Apple Still Worth Investing?

🌟🌟🌟On a day when the S&P500 Index is up at all time high, $Apple(AAPL)$  suffered its single day stock loss since August 4 2023, dropping 4% to USD 171 as investors were worried about the US Department of Justice 's announcement of a wide sweeping antitrust case against Apple for allegedly stifling competition among other smartphone makers and the hefty revenues it takes for 3rd party transactions on its devices. The plunge wiped out USD 112 billion in market value for Apple, sending its market capitalisation to USD 2.6 Trillion.  However Apple is still the 2nd highest in the world.  In contrast $Microsoft(MSFT)$  gained 1% on Thursday tradi

$Apple(AAPL)$ The industry may have known about the rumors of stopping car production for a long time, so I am not particularly surprised by this. Let alone cars, Apple has been hesitant on Carplay for many years. Its implementation plan has no advantage over Hongmeng or even Meizu, and 2.0 is a niche within a niche. They are not good at in-depth software integration on hardware platforms that do not belong to them. Looking back now, maybe they never thought about doing it well from the beginning to the end. It is difficult to call car-machine OS a good business in the current domestic market. The only way to make money is through content payment and scene expansion.

Apple stock fell 14% from its ATH. How low can Apple stock go?

Stock Performance: Apple ( $Apple(AAPL)$ ) stock has experienced a 14% decline from its all-time high (ATH) and an 11% decrease year-to-date.

Counterpoint Research reported a 24% year-on-year drop in iPhone sales, while Huawei's smartphone sales saw a notable 64% year-on-year increase in the first six weeks of 2024.

$Apple(AAPL)$ I don't think Apple dropping to $165 is very likely. The antitrust investigation by the U.S. Congress might cause some short-term turbulence, but I reckon they'll probably settle in the end. These antitrust inquiries aren't anything new for big tech companies, and the outcomes usually just involve someone losing or paying a fine.Apple is currently the most valuable company globally, and many investment firms and pension funds hold its stocks. Are they really going to let this investigation significantly impact Apple, or is it just a scare tactic? It's hard to say for sure right now.Also, the recent divergence between the semiconductor industry and Apple's stock performance is notable. Companies like Nvidia w

$Apple(AAPL)$  Goldman Sachs have removed AAPL from their convictions list and the magnificent seven. Insiders are negative selling more shares than they are buying in Apple In the last 100 trades there were 2.29 million shares bought and 3.43 million shares sold. The last trade was made 29 days ago by Wagner Susan who bough 1.85 thousand shares. In general the insiders are selling more stocks than they buy. In general it can be considered as a negative signal. With diminishing sales in iphone15 in China I have lost confidence in AAPL and wouldn't consider it a buy until it hits $146.

$Apple(AAPL)$  is in a wedge pattern consolidation for weeks . it is being held back by high interest rate environment. the fed has ended its rate hike and is now contemplating the cutting of rates at the end of this year. once the fed starts to cut rates, the bull market will be explosive.  according to pnf analysis of aapl, aapl can go up to 220. consolidation is good for aapl. giving up ev is a great decision for aapl. the ev market is too crowded. focusing on ai is a wise move. there is still much room for improvement in generative pre-train ai. google made a fool of itself again by focusing too much on ethnic diversity for its image generation ai. when bard was just launched, it provided a wrong answer

$Apple(AAPL)$They can pay the fine and business as usual. It’s a non news event.[LOL]The DOJ is becoming a complete joke, If Apple drops to 165, just buy without hesitation !There are people who want the quality of the iPhone and the iOS but the flexibility and open world of the Android but still made by Apple. And if Apple isn’t going to willingly just give it to them, they’ll cry monopoly and use government to force them to give them the product they want.

It made sense for $Apple(AAPL)$ to be reliant on China. China is a huge market and Apple took advantage of their huge labor force and huge consumer base.The win-win cooperation is great and beneficial to everyone! The visit shows the positive attitude towards future development!A good sign for both!What’s more，if the price down to $165，I will buy it in the dip！！So cheap price！
