Worrying About Apple's 10% Drop in Market Value?
What is all the fuss about one single stock?
Are we trying to convince small investors here to play the big
game and joining the bets of the professionals? Joining those bets
has a 12 year's history of risking some deep dives of over 55%.
Even great stocks like
Apple Inc.
(
AAPL
) took part in those dives, in all cases deeper than the S&P
500.
Those are the facts. The talk that momentum stocks may continue
to rise is just talk. The talk that even conservative estimates of
future projections of Apple's income discounted by any risk-free
rate will keep going up is just talk. Only when that talk is
convincing enough to have most of the investing money join forces
in that stock, that stock will keep going up.
Apparently, there are doubters, or investors who want to spread
some of the money they made on Apple into safer stocks, given the
uncertain economic and business climate where net margins are not
on the rise anymore. Last week, some of that money must have gone
into my own portfolio here at P&P as it appreciated 2.5%. That
is not just talk, it is a fact.
It is a normal process that when stocks had great fundamentals
like Apple over the past eight years, and they appreciated
considerably in market value during those years, there will come a
time that investors who build up those gains are going to diversify
those gains into other stocks. That process has started already for
Google
(
GOOG
). For
Medtronic
(
MDT
) it started many years ago as it did for
JDS
(
JDSU
).
The intensity of the debate I see about Apple's recent 10% loss
is an indication for me that this market valuation for Apple may be
consolidating. When Apple's market value starts to need the
promotion by its analysts and other followers, I wonder whether
that is a signal of strength or a signal of weakness. Apple never
needed that promotion.
