The Apple Has Bottomed

I’m very glad to have averaged in on AAPL down at $400. The stock is down over 40% from its peak– but still up considerably over the past few years. I don’t think there is much downside to this name, especially with some big product announcements this fall.

When they announce The Apple TV, this stock is heading back to $650.

Separately, I like chip stocks, like MU, FCS, AMKR and CDNS. If you are a big Samsung guy, FCS derives 12% of their revenues from them.

During the second half of 2013, look for multiple smartphone makers to manufacture camera lenses out of silicon on sapphire. Your go to plays, once again, are GTAT and RBCN. Speaking of camera plays, take a look at AMBA; you may like what you find there.

Lastly, I am eyeballing OVTI for a bottom.

    like GTAT, good rec, wondering if you can splain why you sold it mid 3s but are still holding a million shares FRO from 2.40s now at 1.84. Shouldn’t be the reverse?

    (unless I missed the sale)

    AAPL is just sucking at the teat of the Global Clams meeting this week, just like it has done thru its run up. Wake me up when the Clams finally fail.

      There are so many other stocks to short. Why in the world do you pick the company with $140 bill in cash?!?!

    This stock is going south. AAPL cant compete with Samsung when it comes to tv’s and Samsung are beating AAPL in the phone business. AAPL are moving further and further away from their core business of building great computers and diluting their brand every step of the way. The iMicrowave is on the drawing board no doubt.

    Fly when does the devil begin blogging? I am looking forward to his meth infused picks. UNXL was too hot for me and I had to exit earlier this week. Check out NOW for another world class IT company making waves in a growing sector.
