Two very different games going on here.......... How extraordinary that you can hold both positions at the same time. Short term trader's position that "I wouldn't touch AAPL with a ten-foot pole" and investor's position of "this is a good place to buy AAPL". Do you get into fights with yourself? Does it keep you awake at night? Is it just a case of you being a trader and your family being investors? o~~~ O

For me, AAPL has been a great weekly options trader. As long as you have the leverage, selling puts on big selloffs has been the key. I think I could live on that income alone. I do believe, however, that AAPL at this level is a great long term opportunity; the problem is that most people don't want to tie up that much capital for long enough. It is the biggest holding in a lot of mutual funds, so more of us own it than we might think! I certainly could sleep better owning AAPL than AMZN for sure.
