We had over two decades to accumulate $Apple(AAPL)$ at prices cheaper than a Costco hot dog combo... and most people still missed it. That's the reality with compounding winners. They don't scream for attention, they just grind higher over time while everyone waits for a "better entry." Now Apple is one of the most dominant companies on the planet, and people are suddenly waking up to the opportunity that was sitting there for 24 years. The lesson hits hard: the best trades often feel boring before they become obvious.
$Apple(AAPL)$ AAPL closed strong today. At the close, it finished at another new ATH of $302.25, up $3.28 or 1.10%, on moderate volume of 34.3M shares. That's the second close above $300. There appears to be a limited number of sellers taking profits, with more buyers chasing those shares. Perhaps Apple is buying back some shares, or investors are content to wait for WWDC in 19 days. A secondary intraday high of $303.20 was also set. For those following, the intraday low of $298.09 is the highest session low since the earnings breakout on May 1. A positive sign for the longs.
$Apple(AAPL)$ An easing of tensions and tariffs, along with a move toward friendlier U.S.-China relations, is a positive development for Apple and its investors. A successful trip has helped secure Apple's relationships with its manufacturing partners in China, reduced costly tariffs, and maintained and even expanded access to the Chinese retail market. In a positive sign, China's leader told CEOs, including Apple's Tim Cook, that the country would "open wider" for their business.
