I didn't catch the 7-1 split but I did get the 4-1 in 2020.
The changing landscape of our country and entire world has changed.

Nice , well we were right 208 looking good AAPL

Here's a good read on Apple in regards to their diversification process over the years. 

"Cook understood early on that excessive reliance on a single country—especially one with a complex geopolitical relationship with the U.S.—could pose a substantial risk. Consequently, he initiated a bold diversification strategy, gradually integrating additional manufacturing capabilities in countries like Vietnam, India, and Malaysia. This careful balancing act allowed Apple to decrease its dependence on Chinese manufacturing while maintaining its vast production scale."

AAPL well off the 52 week low

Ya totally agree , I am giving you a follow , cheers have a good day , see you Monday , AAPL

Yes indeed.I would suspect not quite 220 (tommorow) but say, 210 for a close. Again, whether it's sustainable is and will be unknown especially in these trying times.

Don't get me wrong would love to see 220.

Ya cool Lou may gap on Monday , maybe 220 again. AAPL

good news for Apple, exempt from tariffs AAPL

GLTA here. 
I agree that it was good news.However,the contrarian side of me thinks that all the other tariffs that will effect consumers may/might cause the consumers to stay away from the higher tickets items.
Apple has historically "outperformed "markets. I was fortunate to have participated in the last split. I have always held for the most part and recently bought the last dip around 180. Apple has a nice dividend as well comparatively speaking.  
If this holds to be true I would suspect the stock may jump initially in a big way. Does it hold? Anyone's guess. 

Donald Trump’s 125% tariffs on goods produced in China threatened to upend its supply chain as seriously as the Covid snarls did five years ago. On Friday night, the US president handed Apple a major victory, exempting many popular consumer electronics. That includes iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and AirTags.Another win: The 10% tariff on goods imported from other countries has been dropped for those products.

...Many of these products are also consumer essentials—items Americans couldn’t live without, such as smartphones and computers—making them politically sensitive. The Trump administration likely chose not to risk upsetting consumers ahead of the Midterms. ...In markets, this news will be fuel to stage a further recovery...

….Finally the news US tech investors were dreaming of…chips/smartphones/computers exempt from tariffs. US Big Tech spoke and the White House made the right move at the right time. Massive relief for market and tech stocks now into Sunday night…....

🔸 $AAPL - My last post was on Monday when it hit the 200 week MA for the 1st time since January 2019. This time it undercut the 200 WMA by 5% and then rallied for the rest of the week. The drawdown of the December-April crash was 35% which is identical to the Feb-Mar 2020 crash.

$AAPL Trump to do 104% Tariffs against China TODAY

Mixed news being pushed about tariff start date and China's response time as well. The IV is wicked right now.

Apple share price Long Tail Down on 7-Apr-2025.

This positive but given the larger market declines can impact negatively.
Apple has business in China and relations with them is degrading given the Trump Tariffs threats.

• $AAPL - Closed below the 100 week MA. The last time that happened was last April and it was the end of the downtrend. This time it's a decisive close and given that the last time it hit the 200 week MA was in January 2019, it's likely to hit it(178) for the 1st time in 6 years.

Hi DG, Re: Insiders at AAPL selling shares.........................

I bought some of those shares Friday at $193.93 because I felt sorry for them. I added 13% more shares. I'd liberated shares in December of 2024 at $240+. so the buy represented nearly a 20% discount.

Best wishes,

Apple (AAPL) Stock Heads for Worst Day Since Covid-19 Crash
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 3, 2025

• Trump's tariffs are weighing on AAPL

• Options traders are chiming in on the tech giant

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) was last seen down 8.9% at $203.94, leading Big Tech losses after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs. Rosenblatt Securities warned AAPL could see $39.5 billion in tariff costs, and would need to hike device prices 40% to offset them.

Additionally, BofA Global Research cuts the stock's price target to $250 from $265. During his speech, Trump applauded Apple for its plan to spend $500 billion in the U.S. in the next four years, with Jefferies noting this could help the tech company secure a tariff exemption.

AAPL is trading at its lowest level since August and looking to snap a four-day win streak, as it heads for its largest single-day percentage drop since March 2020. Since the start of the year, the equity is down 18%.

So far in today's options pits, 428,000 calls and 453,000 puts have traded hands -- double the overall options volume typically seen at this point. Expiring tomorrow, the weekly 4/4 200-strike put is the most popular contract, followed by the 210-strike call in that same series.

Puts were more popular than usual leading up to today as well. AAPL's 10-day put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) sits higher than 90% of annual readings.
