Personally, I sold my apple stock recently. Why? Don't get me wrong I love apple products, have an iPhone, iPad, laptop and desktop. It's just that they don't have any break out products in the near term.

But wait, you obviously say... what about the VR headset. Well, my jury is out on that one, let me explain. A few years back when my children were all still teenagers, I became incensed with their antisocial behaviour regarding their iPhones, so I took action. I took a large glass pitcher, placed two old iPhones in it, filled it with water and placed it on the dining room table. When the kids came home, I pointed to the pitcher and explained that's where their iPhones would end up if they didn't turn them off and put them in the kitchen draw.

I think the VR headset will lead to even more antisocial behaviour, and it's very expensive meaning parents rather than children will be the main buyers, sure the tec nuts will buy them but that's a smaller market.

There are so many great stocks out there and you can't own them all. While apple is a great company with great long term potential, it is expensive and the dividend yield sucks. There are better choices out there, in my humble opinion
