Apples definitely richly valued right now, but it's hard to blame Investor's given the numbers that apple is doing and also just that brand loyalty that Apple has
And upcoming new apple products and they learnt from x-xs mistakes.
I think I have seen your comments in alux RUclips channel
I invested 50k at 24yrs old in 2006. Made 5grand in a week. Sold it. I’d be very well off now. I still kick myself. Last I checked was million or 2
How do you have 50k at 24 years pf age? HOW??????

Year after year they cry "Apple's doom is near!"... and year after year Apple proves them wrong.
And every year they said without steve jobs apple will have no future or “if steve jobs still alive, he will be ashamed by what apple do right now”. But after steve jobs died apple build $5billion headquarters.

People like Apple for a reason.
Android fanboys bring up Apple hate under every tech video its pathetic
Most people buy android phones because they cannot afford Apple devices
And you know that’s a fact
Poor countries like India and Pakistan etc... go for Chinese and Korean phones not because android is an open source and has more freedom but simply because it’s cheaper and there’s nothing wrong with that there’s also nothing wrong with liking Apple products
@@aManWhoWantsEverything thats why the cheaper iphones sell more then the high end iPhones, because they buy it for the label, not for how good it is, look at the video
@@giovannibarrera1534 people go cheaper iPhones because people like cheaper stuff with reliability and long-term use and good selling value and yes, looks as well.
The Apple logo means all if those things to some people.
Now, why do Android users feel the need to bash them for their choice? Im not sure but i I think it’s because they’re generally salty.
Since when did wanting to look cooler or more accepted in society become a bad thing?!
Guess what its not bad and its completely natural
So with an iPhone you get long-term reliability (much longer than android phones) good selling value and you can be socially more accepted (this totally depends on your environment)? Count me in.
People just don't seem to understand that Apple only ever focuses on making products that are just good, not first, not always groundbreaking, just good, reliable and user friendly, as long as they always do that, people will always feel comfortable using their products, I have 2 Mac's over 10 years old that still work, a new MacBook that is super fast, a 2019 iPhone that still gets full support and an iPad that I know I won't need to replace for a very long time, reliability is important to me and that's why I have bought Apple for over a decade now
Notable mention is needed for Airpods, they have a huge role in reviving Apple.
Hey man I made a video of the plays I made on Apple stock on Friday and my updated portfolio if you’re interested I’d love to hear your feedback

Yes after iPhones & iPads 👍🏻👍🏻
It's biggest problem and strength is basically locked integration for end users. airpods come there too. No doubt quality comes in too but it's priced appropriately too.
The Apple Watch, the IPads along with subscription services as well. Apple has had a lot of profitable players in the last years
apple ecosystem is hard to beat

people are buying up imacs, ipads to work from home. people are spending on games in the app store because they need to stay indoors. It makes sense.
Investors are probably looking for "safe" assets and Apple is apparently considered one. But this only creates a bubble that will eventually pop.

@fane babanu unless you prefer a 1930s type depression.
Going up against the US market in this period is quite a great investment strategy.
be careful with trading, yes you can make money doing it but more people fail than succed. investing especially in dividend can create much more wealth long term if you're under 30. if you're older and just starting, trading might be your best bet. But do a lot of research. best of luck to you.
thank you, I'm 43, I seem to have more loyalty to investment on the market that pays dividend. I'd like it as a passive income/ hobby. I'm soon retiring to Brazil. I make more profits that beat the market investing with Mark Carey, so that should help out as it is good living.
I think Mark Carey is to much of a short trading, although he tries to appear as long investor. but he certainly has good ROI.
@@pietrofelix9497 he certainly made his money.😂😂
@@justtheojc8875
yes I'm sure he did but he has also the possibilities to follow things on daily basis, which usually people don't so.... long term, slow growth is what we should aim. to look at the investment as ownership in the business.
Watching this on an apple product.
apple is the only company which actually make good products
@AcidBot66 wow man why r u so mad xD
Only? Apple makes the worst product for your money
@@LeuBlue i mean they are expensive, like alot, but they also provide updates for longest and the best customer care I have seen
@@indethbed2546 to make you buy their new product.
Don't forget the were able to change the accounting rules. Apple was suppose to split up their sale of an iPhone, and other apple products that have software upgrades, into chunks over a period of two years. This is due to the promise by Apple that they will provide upgrades to its OS for a period of 2 years for each product sold. So Apple argued that they should be able to realize it's revenue from day 1, not split into 24 months.
So on the accounting sheets, you'll see a huge jump in revenue, hence the huge jump in profit, and a huge jump in stock price. I am not sure if the other smart phone makers get this same treatment though. But for sure it was Apple that changed the rules of accounting, which gave it's first huge push in stock price
Great video
No audio
How about stock buybacks?This valuation is just ridiculous!
Thank your Central Bank, not Apple !
it is interesting to see how reporters interpret or report (misreport) events that you are very familiar with.
the misreports, exaggerations, ... just to create drama or spice up a story.
makes you wander, what else in history (especially important events) have been misreported.

Lesson: When your flagship isnt doing wonders. Launch micro-flagships (apps) to diversity. Use a recurring model rather than 1 time payment to gain traction and for sustainability. And dont forget to go public a few decades ago.

Did you watch the video?
"if you'd put 10,000 on apple in the 80s, you'd be a millionaire"
Try billionaire.
You'd have a cool $1million if the stock had never split, but your ~80,000 units of stock would have multiplied to 18 million units of stock after apples five stock splits, making your $10k investment worth ~$2 billion
The Stock has Split 5 Times, overall you would have 224 Shares today if you had bought them at the IPO. The Share Price back then was 22$.
So with an investment of 10‘000$ at a price today of 112$, your return would be around 11,2 Million Dollars not 2 Billion.
Do you even math bro?
Go back to math class dude.
If you invested $10,000 in Bitcoin when it was worth around a penny and then sold at the high of $19,000 then you’d have $19 billion. Of course, there wasn’t a million coins so this investment is purely theoretical. Regardless, this is among the only non-leveraged investments that could turn $10k into $1 billion+ without starting a business or investing pre-IPO.
also, Microsoft knew someone invested 23,000 when Microsoft went IPO became millionaire
excellent to hear, I'm 29, I mostly have high dividend paying stocks , with a few growth tech stocks like Tesla's.
you want a 100$ bonus?
Ohh tesla doing bad right now. I hope you were able to get out in time.
Simple: by selling overpriced products.

I wonder how their market cap will evolve as their iPhone sales slow down and their services revenue ramps up
Power of marketing. They have simplicity commercials and yet people are still watching because of their products.
Their digital products are lost in the sea. It’s a mystery they never open the apple search to public use. Since they have consolidated all their digital content into apple one subscription, it’s incredibly hard to search for something across their different platforms like podcasts, and iTunes. And 2024 moves near, google search results are being manipulated into an inconceivable realm.😂
AirPods and Apple Music is probably the most notable revolutions from apple as of recently in my eyes.
The Mac market share grew as the PC market share fell, the iPhone surpassed Android, the iPad has always been the dominant tablet, the Apple Watch remains the most popular smart watch, Apple has always released products that just perform well, they've never focused on being first, they focused on just making products that work really well and most importantly, work well with their other products and that's why they've succeeded
Does anyone know about east indian trading company
Steve Job should be proud of his successor
The power of branding
Me also wondering why they’re a 2 trillion dollar company while also holding an iPhone..
Nice
Wow wow I’m happy to see it
1. Most tech stocks ballooned during the pandemic
2. Another part is how Apple is continuing to take market share from competitors; not discussed
3. Apple faired better than the competitors during the pandemic
And even after pandemic. ruclips.net/video/mclethck3sQ/видео.html
This doesn’t capture the overall market conditions. Yes, Apple has outperformed but it’s almost always done that except for a few times mentioned here. And during those previous overperformances, it hasn’t gone up in value like it has now.
The reason mega cap tech companies are so valuable and desired stocks now is because: 1) they’re performing but also 2) there’s no better alternatives to put a lot of cash to wait out the current recession. In essence, they’re default choices for a lot of investors apart from the value the companies actually have as businesses.
Shoutout to the apple 2 team

Every time Tim Cook says "It's the most advanced iPhone we've ever created!!!" I roll my eyes from front to back and back to front.
Like you're going to release a new flagship phone and say, "it's about the same as last year's phone, but oh well..."
OBVIOUSLY, people know it's an upgrade from the previous year. What people want to know is how BIG of a step that upgrade is.
I honestly think that smartphones are about to peak in abilities and designs. I see something new coming on the horizon.
@@user-zf5eu1xt7d I think they've already understood what's left to do, and are just slowly putting these features out, so that they can slowly milk more phone upgrades. Honestly, if i weren't someone working with media, there's absolutely no need for me to upgrade to the iphone 15 pro. It's great that apple has chips that are more efficient, faster, and cheaper than anything that Intel can produce. But ask the average person, why would they need a computer/phone to have so much computing power?
Canada: umm i only have 1.95 trillion usd
By overpricing everything.
Branding. And apple ecosystem is great, i think.
My iphone 7 still the same since I bought it 4 years ago minus the battery life. That’s why I’m using apple because they provide long time support and update for their products.

Biggest regret is selling AAPL at $98 pre-4 to 1 split
Apple is just run by the smartest guys in the world. Even the Feds couldn't break Apple's will to ban security back doors.
I don't see the current share price as fair.
The company has a great business model but when it comes to services (productivity or entertainment) on my iPhone its either Google or Microsoft that excel there by a huge margin. If you own an android phone the services even get better as the eco-system is Google's (example is Assistant on Android is excellent compared to iPhones which is a laughable version). I think Apple needs to innovate and lately they are following android rather than the opposite. The only edge that they have now is in their hardware design which Google is going to close in a few years and then what will Apple stand out from the rest of the market for?
Quality, quality and quality.
Exactly what they’re lacking
That's too generalise. I know it's quality but in what? And how?
Price quality
Oh I missed adding "...of their customers" 🤣

So is it possible that the Coronavirus originated from Apple's office or factory in US?
Apple's share value had since dropped 25 percent now.
One another rational could be the general layman investors couldn't find a better company as promising which in itself points finger to decline of faith in various industries per se.
Without China, there could never be the level of success you witnessed.
This is not to say China is indispensable. Nor to say China is instrumental in Apple's success.
China is the right opportunity at the right place at the right time. And Apple took full advantage of it.
China is the best place to build electronics. Because of the massive work force and a rare earth metal that makes your device works. If china refuse to sell those metals well yeah..
Shouldn’t it read: become the most overvalued company in the world? I don’t think it should be worth that much. But hey, the stockmarket is the bank for the rich. Where else can they park it where it’s liquid AF.
No it’s not.
A companies value is determined by the market (by the people who buy and sell that stock) and the decision of those people to buy or not is determined my the companies performance.
Apple’s profits in 2019 were $13 billion. That was (at the time) 1.3% of the value of the company.
For context Amazon did $3.3 billion in profit in 2019 and thats (at the time) 0.3% of the value of the company.
If you don’t understand how business works please don’t comment about it.
Hope this world gets outs out of this depression we are in a this time. Love always and 4 ever Best wishes for everyone
not a popular opinion but tim cook took apple to new stratosphere
Egarly waiting for Apple Made in India.😍🔥💖
I don't because india blamed china to boost their economy.
I doubt the actual market justifies this. This seems to just be a case overly optimistic investors rushing to the same place at once because there aren't that many options to choose from at the moment. The money will leave as investors rush to ride the rise of companies that will be picking up post-covid.
But how much innovation in tech are we likely to see? Apple, google and amazon buy or copy any startup before it has the chance to become competitive.
Apple ecosystem security strong points to many open source 💖
It would be nice if it was mentioned that SoftBank had a very very large role in the rise of Apple share price since COVID-19 started
Thanks to the good and quick handling by China of the pandemic, Apple could serve the increasing demand.
It really makes you feel sorry for Google and especially Samsung.
it cost around 400$ to make i phone 11pro max, the reason why companies like Xiomi worth trillions

More than trade war i think it is innovation which Apple has stopped to do much and every year they just do some tweaks and present a new phone.
And also they are so stubborn.
2017 Apple removed headphone jack other phone come with no headphone jack. 2017 airpods out and other brand making fun of it, now? Look how much airpods clone and now most phone brand have their own “buds”. 2018 iphone x come out with “notch” again, othe phone brand making fun of it, but later also other phone come with notch. Now iphone 11 pro come with “square BUMP” camera, and other android smarthphone come with it.
m1 : am i joke to you?
Monopoly and cooking the book
It's called sheeple, walled gardens, and using the same design for years (tooling cost per device becomes more cost effective) most companies update their design each year, but apple keeps the same design for 2 years or more. The iphone se is using a 6year old design
It's actually beneficial for customers who won't feel much outdated. Also accessories businesses benefit too since their accessories will work on new iPhones with similar physical device...that's why accessories are tailored and much diverse and premium in iPhones...mostly not available in android phones with thousands of designs and new physical design each year. If you are accessory business owner for android, your inventory will be wasted and you are just one of the businesses for android
