It's now getting in the area where I'm thinking of adding a few hundred to the IRAs if I can get a bit more of a move toward 90. Not for a quick trade, but two or three years out this might be a nice position as a base part of the IRA; not the shoot for the moon part.
Would stay away until they do something major, like acquire Netflix. A GoPro acquisition wouldn't really pop it that much. They're kind of at brand ceiling at the moment. Like John Deere, like Walmart, running 5yr is planked flat. What's the point of even investing then? Put it in the bank, less risky.
Seriously look at:
LMT
RTN
NOC
Don't confuse a solid name for stock performance.

BE PATIENT. APPLE will come roaring back. But don't be too eager to get in. Wait until all the selling is done. We are entereing a global recession. The recent earnings report reflects an economic downturn, not a loss of market share. Samsung is not taking over, Sharp is also not taking over - people are simply buying fewer phones for reasons that include hard times and a decline in need for the newest incremental change in iPhones.
We are getting that global deflation we all need and we all dread. We need lower prices in everything. People who own everything are deathly afraid that the inflation of prices won't go on as it has been for many years. Fear of lower prices is mostly something that keeps the superrich awake at night. I want to buy Apple, but not yet. Let it unwind. I will be watching carefully to find the right timing to buy AAPL.

AAPL is far from flat over the last 5 years it's up nearly 100%
Nope. I don't think it is really a growth stock anymore. I think it has become so big that people are expecting unrealistic things from them like they did 3 or 4 years ago, and it just isn't going to happen. I'm not saying it isn't a bad buy, I just don't think it will have huge gains.

Actually, huge gains would not be why I would buy it. I'm just looking to add a stock to the IRAs with some upside potential that won't kill us on the downside. If the herd mentality drops it toward the 85-87 area, I may take a good look at adding a few hundred. Last time I bought it on the general feeling the Apple story was over was in early 2013. Sold it a couple of years later for a nice gain. Of course, I realize that past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
I think it might drop to $60, that's when Icahn bought it. I might buy then but only for trading. I move away from owning single stock.
