AAPL: Buying the Dips!

Quote from cdcaveman:

What is that volume thing!

As I understand, it's volume profile (Volume traded at specific price within defined period of time). I use other volume indicators, but following his chart

The highest volume was traded within 571-604. During this time the biggest number of shares was bought/sold. Respectfully, those who bought during that period, are still comfortable, as they are still in profit and we are not going to see any panic selling until AAPL hit this range. However should AAPL drop in that range and should these trader to start panic....
 
the cheaper you pay for the stock the less you should want it. how much higher can it go? i have never been into apple products but i am thinking of buying a mac mini. i think once i do it that's the top haha. i really don't see them having this power on cell phone companies much longer either and are people really going to pay the premium out of there own pockets. the iphone 5 is not really that amazing. i am being logical and in noway saying this stock can't be at 900 end of the year either.
 
AAPL currently pays $2.65/quarter dividend, or $10.60 annual per share. At the current closing price of Friday, it represents approximately a 1.7% yield, slightly lower than the current yield in the S&P.

However, at some point the yield creates a floor on the stock when it becomes attractive for value investors if the price drops enough to make the yield well above the S&P.

AAPL is currently the heaviest weighting of SPY, around 5% (and 19% of QQQ). If AAPL maintains a healthy growth rate and creates enough cash to maintain its annual dividend payout of $10.60 per share, then the upside to owning AAPL vs. SPY/QQQ is outpaced given the potential capital appreciation of the stock relative to the index.

Of course, anything can change in the future regarding a company's growth, and a company can reduce its dividend on the common stock, or even eliminate it (as many financial firms did back in 2008).

October 25th surely will be interesting. I'm not savvy enough to make any actual price predictions, although I will state that the probability of a gap (up or down) in after hours is very likely.

SPY and QQQ are racking indexes. Their upside s limited by the upside of the indexes which are limited by the market. Stocks have more potential, however, stocks are more volatile and more risky. I'm not referring to AAPL in particular. Just in general to stocks.

Yes, of course SPY and QQQ are tracking indexes. Also, there is always "business risk" when choosing a stock over an index, so the upside must provide more potential in order to justify the risk.
