Ahead of&nbsp;the Janury 27 earnings day, Apple stock price climbed a whopping 12% in only one week to reach all time highs. Investors were likely excited about pent up demand for the iPhone 12, whose release in 2020 had been delayed.</p>\n<p>But that was as far as AAPL went all year. By March 8, less than six weeks after earnings, the stock was tiptoeing around bear-style correction territory – a pullback of at least 20% from the top.</p>\n<p>Nothing seemed particularly wrong with Apple itself, other than&nbsp;some speculation on Wall Street&nbsp;that demand for Apple’s products and services could falter with the end of the stay-at-home consumer trends. However, bearishness in Q1 can probably be best explained by the following:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The cyclical rotation, which started roughly with the announcement of the first COVID-19 vaccines in November,picked up steam in February. It was time for investors and traders to bet on banks, airlines and commodities, not on Big Tech.</li>\n <li>Inflation concerns took center stage, as the global economies began to reopen. As a result, the 10-year treasury yield skyrocketed from 1.0% to 1.6% during the same period that Apple shares headed sharply lower. Higher interest rates are bad news for growth and tech stocks.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Probably not a coincidence, Apple share price climbed from the gutter (a 2021 low of $116, in this case) as soon as yields stabilized, starting around mid-March. By mid-April, Apple started to show signs that it could reach all-time highs any moment.</p>\n<p>It is possible that&nbsp;the company’s “Spring Loaded” event, on April 20, also contributed to briefly improved investor sentiment. But shortly after the unveiling of the iPad Pro, new iMac with M1, Apple TV 4K, AirTag and purple iPhone 12, Apple shares head down 9% from the April high through May 12.</p>\n<p>Only at that point did Apple find its way north again. June, for instance, was a fantastic month of returns for the stock. I believe that bullishness can be credited to the usual summer anticipation of the new iPhone model and holiday season sales.</p>\n<p>This, coupled with (1) forward P/E multiples that dipped to the low 20s, (2) stable yields and (3) a dip in market volatility, led me to&nbsp;becoming much more bullish on Applefor the next few months.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple Stock: A Tough First Half Of 2021 In Review</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple Stock: A Tough First Half Of 2021 In Review\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-02 20:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/stock/apple-stock-a-tough-first-half-of-2021-in-review><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>First half of 2021 was neither disastrous nor overly bullish for Apple stock.

See bullet points below:\n\nAbsoluteannualizedreturn of 7% (see chart below), which compares unfavorably to the S&P 500’sannualized33%, and Apple’s own 23% since the 1980s.\nAnnualized volatility of 34%, high (i.e. not good) compared to Apple’s 27% over the past decade, which even included the jittery pandemic year of 2020.\nMaximum drawdown of 19%, as Apple barely escaped bear territory in March 2021.\nBest month of returns: June,10%\nWorst month of returns: February,-8%\n\nFigure 2: Annualized return -AAPL vs. S&P 500.\nThe year started with bullish expectations for fiscal first quarter results. Ahead of the Janury 27 earnings day, Apple stock price climbed a whopping 12% in only one week to reach all time highs. Investors were likely excited about pent up demand for the iPhone 12, whose release in 2020 had been delayed.\nBut that was as far as AAPL went all year. By March 8, less than six weeks after earnings, the stock was tiptoeing around bear-style correction territory – a pullback of at least 20% from the top.\nNothing seemed particularly wrong with Apple itself, other than some speculation on Wall Street that demand for Apple’s products and services could falter with the end of the stay-at-home consumer trends. However, bearishness in Q1 can probably be best explained by the following:\n\nThe cyclical rotation, which started roughly with the announcement of the first COVID-19 vaccines in November,picked up steam in February. It was time for investors and traders to bet on banks, airlines and commodities, not on Big Tech.\nInflation concerns took center stage, as the global economies began to reopen. As a result, the 10-year treasury yield skyrocketed from 1.0% to 1.6% during the same period that Apple shares headed sharply lower. Higher interest rates are bad news for growth and tech stocks.\n\nProbably not a coincidence, Apple share price climbed from the gutter (a 2021 low of $116, in this case) as soon as yields stabilized, starting around mid-March. By mid-April, Apple started to show signs that it could reach all-time highs any moment.\nIt is possible that the company’s “Spring Loaded” event, on April 20, also contributed to briefly improved investor sentiment. But shortly after the unveiling of the iPad Pro, new iMac with M1, Apple TV 4K, AirTag and purple iPhone 12, Apple shares head down 9% from the April high through May 12.\nOnly at that point did Apple find its way north again. June, for instance, was a fantastic month of returns for the stock. I believe that bullishness can be credited to the usual summer anticipation of the new iPhone model and holiday season sales.\nThis, coupled with (1) forward P/E multiples that dipped to the low 20s, (2) stable yields and (3) a dip in market volatility, led me to becoming much more bullish on Applefor the next few months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156110792,"gmtCreate":1625201289716,"gmtModify":1703738262457,"author":{"id":"3586672174003457","authorId":"3586672174003457","name":"KMKM21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee0bc8c6a13e57876cc813bff5015702","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586672174003457","authorIdStr":"3586672174003457"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156110792","repostId":"1145062486","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145062486","pubTimestamp":1625194807,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145062486?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ASTR Stock: What to Know as Rocket Maker Astra Space Starts Trading Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145062486","media":"investorplace","summary":"Today, another de-SPAC company has joined the fold.

A robust upside surprise could lead the U.S. Federal Reserve to adjust its timetable for tapering its securities purchases and raising key interest rates.\n“Too-strong economic data could perversely be a bad thing for markets if it caused the Fed to raise rates faster than expected,” Carter said. “Weak employment data may actually be welcomed.”\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 131.02 points, or 0.38%, to 34,633.53, the S&P 500 gained 22.44 points, or 0.52%, to 4,319.94 and the Nasdaq Composite added 18.42 points, or 0.13%, to 14,522.38.\nOf the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, consumer staples was the sole loser, shedding 0.3%.\nWalgreens Boots Alliance Inc dropped 7.4% after it said it expects to administer fewer COVID-19 vaccine shots in the fourth quarter.\nDidi Global Inc jumped 16.0%, on its second day of trading as a U.S.-listed company.\nMicron Technology Inc slid by 5.7% following a report that Texas Instruments would buy Micron’s Lehi, Utah, factory for $900 million.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.78-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.32-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 36 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 78 new highs and 30 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 9.53 billion shares, compared with the 10.9 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":156586117,"gmtCreate":1625230443839,"gmtModify":1703738900206,"author":{"id":"3586672174003457","authorId":"3586672174003457","name":"KMKM21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee0bc8c6a13e57876cc813bff5015702","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586672174003457","authorIdStr":"3586672174003457"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156586117","repostId":"1116521790","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116521790","pubTimestamp":1625230146,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116521790?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 20:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: A Tough First Half Of 2021 In Review","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116521790","media":"TheStreet","summary":"First half of 2021 was neither disastrous nor overly bullish for Apple stock.

Some bankers left with the message that the education policies were targeted and not intended to hurt companies in other industries, the people said.\nIt’s the latest sign that Chinese authorities have become uncomfortable with a selloff that sent the nation’s key stock indexes to the brink of a bear market on Wednesday morning. State-run media have published a series of articles suggesting the rout is overdone, while some analysts have speculated government-linked funds have begun intervening toprop upthe market.\nChina’s CSI 300 Index rebounded from early losses on Wednesday to close with a 0.2% gain. Banks, viewed as prime targets for intervention because of their heavy weightings in benchmark indexes, were among the biggest contributors to the advance.\nChinese stock-index futures extended gains in late Hong Kong trading after Bloomberg reported the CSRC meeting, rising 2.3% at 9:58 p.m. local time. The regulator didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\nWednesday’s reprieve followed a three-day plunge that erased nearly $800 billion of Chinese equity value, spilling over into everything from the yuan to the S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasuries during one of its most extreme phases on Tuesday.\nThe losses were triggered by China’s shock decision to ban swathes of its booming tutoring industry from making profits, raising foreign capital and going public. It was the government’s most extreme step yet to rein in companies it blames for exacerbating inequality, increasing financial risk and challenging the Communist Party’s grip on key segments of the economy.\nChinese authorities have a long history of attempting to smooth swings in domestic markets, though their efforts have hadmixed successin recent years. They’re taking action now after the plunge in U.S.-listed tutoring companies like TAL Education Group and New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. spread to nearly every corner of China’s onshore equity market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156137482,"gmtCreate":1625201254746,"gmtModify":1703738260978,"author":{"id":"3586672174003457","authorId":"3586672174003457","name":"KMKM21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee0bc8c6a13e57876cc813bff5015702","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586672174003457","authorIdStr":"3586672174003457"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156137482","repostId":"1124128123","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156110792,"gmtCreate":1625201289716,"gmtModify":1703738262457,"author":{"id":"3586672174003457","authorId":"3586672174003457","name":"KMKM21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee0bc8c6a13e57876cc813bff5015702","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586672174003457","authorIdStr":"3586672174003457"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156110792","repostId":"1145062486","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145062486","pubTimestamp":1625194807,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145062486?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ASTR Stock: What to Know as Rocket Maker Astra Space Starts Trading Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145062486","media":"investorplace","summary":"Today, another de-SPAC company has joined the fold.

A robust upside surprise could lead the U.S. Federal Reserve to adjust its timetable for tapering its securities purchases and raising key interest rates.</p>\n<p>“Too-strong economic data could perversely be a bad thing for markets if it caused the Fed to raise rates faster than expected,” Carter said. “Weak employment data may actually be welcomed.”</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 131.02 points, or 0.38%, to 34,633.53, the S&amp;P 500 gained 22.44 points, or 0.52%, to 4,319.94 and the Nasdaq Composite added 18.42 points, or 0.13%, to 14,522.38.</p>\n<p>Of the 11 major sectors in the S&amp;P 500, consumer staples was the sole loser, shedding 0.3%.</p>\n<p>Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc dropped 7.4% after it said it expects to administer fewer COVID-19 vaccine shots in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>Didi Global Inc jumped 16.0%, on its second day of trading as a U.S.-listed company.</p>\n<p>Micron Technology Inc slid by 5.7% following a report that Texas Instruments would buy Micron’s Lehi, Utah, factory for $900 million.</p>\n<p>Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.78-to-1 ratio;

The prices paid index, driven higher by the current demand/supply imbalance, soared to its highest level since 1979, according to ISM.\n“The employment and manufacturing data released today supported the idea of continued growth but at a decelerated rate,” Carter added.\nFriday’s hotly anticipated jobs report is expected to show payrolls growing by 700,000 and unemployment inching down to 5.7%. A robust upside surprise could lead the U.S. Federal Reserve to adjust its timetable for tapering its securities purchases and raising key interest rates.\n“Too-strong economic data could perversely be a bad thing for markets if it caused the Fed to raise rates faster than expected,” Carter said. “Weak employment data may actually be welcomed.”\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 131.02 points, or 0.38%, to 34,633.53, the S&P 500 gained 22.44 points, or 0.52%, to 4,319.94 and the Nasdaq Composite added 18.42 points, or 0.13%, to 14,522.38.\nOf the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, consumer staples was the sole loser, shedding 0.3%.\nWalgreens Boots Alliance Inc dropped 7.4% after it said it expects to administer fewer COVID-19 vaccine shots in the fourth quarter.\nDidi Global Inc jumped 16.0%, on its second day of trading as a U.S.-listed company.\nMicron Technology Inc slid by 5.7% following a report that Texas Instruments would buy Micron’s Lehi, Utah, factory for $900 million.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.78-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.32-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 36 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 78 new highs and 30 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 9.53 billion shares, compared with the 10.9 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
