I'm sure most of us knew apple

I'm sure most of us knew apple uses dirty tactics since day one but big financial institutions would choose to ignore and just take reference from the impressive sales they make annually. One huge mistake these institutions did was to put apple stock in a heavy weightage in their indices and ETFs. So it will be ridiculous for anyone to short apple because that would cost a bear run in all markets. It'll cause a domino effect. If this was some other stock, investors would have shorted the living hell out this stock. $Apple(AAPL)$
