AAPL Apple and the DOJ Antitrust LawsuitAfter the previous price target was reached:
Warren Buffett has been a prominent supporter of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) in recent years. However, there is speculation that his enthusiasm for the stock may have diminished. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Berkshire Hathaway reduced its holdings in the tech giant.
This move occurred before the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it, along with 16 state and district attorneys general, was suing Apple for alleged violations of antitrust laws. The question now arises: Will Buffett continue to sell off Apple stock in response to the DOJ antitrust lawsuit — and should others consider following suit?
The complaint filed by the department in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey outlined various allegations against Apple, including that the company:
- Prevented the availability of iPhone apps designed to facilitate easier transitions to alternative smartphone platforms for consumers.
- Hindered the advancement of mobile cloud streaming services enabling consumers to play video games without necessitating expensive smartphone hardware purchases.
- Excluded messaging apps on iPhones that seamlessly operate across different smartphone platforms.
- Restricted the capabilities of competitors' products in comparison to the Apple Watch.
- Constrained competing digital wallets by prohibiting apps from enabling users to utilize tap-to-pay functionality.
My price Target for AAPL is now $165.

Apple - Watch The TrendlineHello Traders, welcome to today's analysis of Apple.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
Starting all the way back in 2010, Apple created its first major higher timeframe break and retest. For many years we saw the same pattern on Apple stock which was simply a trendline rejection and a horizontal break and retest. With the recent breakout and retest I do expect more continuation towards the upside away from the confluence level I mentioned in the video.
--------
I will only take a trade if all the rules of my strategy are satisfied.
Let me know in the comment section below if you have any questions.
Keep your long term vision.
No Reason To Get Long YetThe play here is near term puts for move to 140s, which is the black path.
Best case scenario for longs is it shows sign of strength with move to 165 (green path) - in that case it would still need a Bu/Retest which eliminates significant upside risk,
Worst case for longs is red path - move to low 130s, dead cat, then more down.
Black path most likely case, this should get hit fast.
Down Leg Has Likely StartedExpected target is 230-235 by mid April, then will bounce from there. There are a few possibilities:
- Whipsaw long if bounces in low 260s in coming week
- Finds support in low 230s in April, would provide base to make higher high later in the year (in 300s)
- If downward pressure takes it below 222, it could see a deadcat bounce and then continuation down probably to lower low (probably 190s)
If it sees one last bounce to 285 in coming days don't fall for it, it would be an add to short position opportunity.

How to create charts with a gradient backgroundWe recently made it possible to create charts with a gradient background. That means you can combine two colors at once to create a chart that looks good and is unique to you. In this example, we've combined a light blue with white to create an easy-to-look at background.
To get started, follow these simple steps:
Step 1 - Open your chart Settings
Step 2 - In the Settings window, click the Appearance tab
Step 3 - Change the Background setting to Gradient
Step 4 - Select any two colors
The chart in this example shows the price of Apple since its IPO using monthly candlesticks. Each candlestick shows one full month of trading. We decided to use Apple because nine years ago today, Steve Jobs passed away. Apple did a lot to change the technology sector and especially the art of long-term investing. By looking at this chart, you can learn a complete price history of Apple going back to its 1980 IPO including product releases and financial events. It's also shown on one of our new gradient chart backgrounds.
Thanks for reading this tutorial and we hope you enjoy the new chart gradient feature! Please leave any questions or comments below. Our team will do their best to follow along and help.

Apple: a tale of excellence and mediocrityWhat's going on guys, YoungShkreli in the building
Apple is truly an amazing company. I just read Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson and it was deeply informing of his character and why Apple will likely never see better days than under him.
Here's the thing about truly revolutionary people: they start and do their own thing.
I don't know about you guys, but those adapters are annoying as all get out. On top of this, what has Apple actually done that was cool since Steve Jobs died?
I remember when the iPod came out, now I'm a young guy, but it was the most amazing invention I had ever witnessed. It was so small and it fit every song you knew onto it. On top of that, it had this beautiful, simple, futuristic look that was characteristic of Apple and Jobs.
I'm not writing this to say I'm bearish on Apple, it's just that I don't know why anyone would really buy it today - it's just not a sexy stock anymore. Nothing interesting seems to be going on. They already have a vast market that simply isn't capable of extreme growth.
In terms of the fundamentals, they offer a decent dividend, have a lot of cash on hand, and aren't trading that high - only about a 16 pe. That said, I don't see where the big rise is coming from and if you look at the chart I've shown you, it's just screaming for downside and I think it's coming in the next recession.
SUMMARY:
I would never suggest shorting Apple, I'm just saying that it probably isn't going to be the best company to have owned in ten years.
Good luck bros,
YoungShkreli
Apple: Future after iPhone 8 The journey of technology behemoth Apple, Inc. from Apple I to iPhone 7 has been a spectacular one. Its valuation crossed $800 billion this year and is onto becoming the first trillion-dollar company. It's not been a smooth ride all the way. Like every company, Apple too had to go through phases of ups and downs and failures. It too made products that flopped - Apple Portable, Apple III, Macintosh TV - to name a few. It all changed when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, 10 years after he was fired. Not many know that in 1997 the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and was saved by Microsoft, by pumping in $150 Million and ended the rivalry between the two innovators, Gate and Jobs.
Apple was once again being steered by Jobs, as an iCEO - interim CEO - hence the alphabet "I" prefixes the products he innovated as an iCEO. Apple with its iPod launch created a generation of fan followers that would go on to make their every product a success, no matter how flawed it was. iPhone 4 has call drop issues, iPhone 6 would bend when pocketed - yet, people bought them and made them Apple's success stories. Now that Apple's next flagship - iPhone 8 - launch is around the corner, and speculations are that Apple is going for a complete design overhaul, it's time to analyze the stock and try to make out what it would mean for the company and its future.
Analyzing the stock of Apple, I see it making a long-term high in February - March 2018 at price level of around $175. So multiplying it with the number of outstanding shares of 5.165 Billion gives us the approximate valuation of $903.8 Billion - guess Apple will not be a Trillion - dollar company, at least not in 2018 or anytime soon. In the following chart, I have also marked a few intermediate highs and lows - time targets at approximate, price targets do not mean much. High in the first week of October, then low in the first week of November, then High in the second week of December and the final low in the second week of January before moving towards its long-term high in.
As always, we will update when changing dynamics necessitates so.
