Apple, Inc. – The Shinny Apple Of Old Now Has Too Many Brown Spots

Apple, Inc. - The Shinny Apple Of Old Now Has Too Many Brown Spots

Apple, Inc. clearly has not been one of the leading Companies in past month and has not on my Favorable List for a long time. I turned Bearish and went to cash in November 2012 over a year ago. It is currently on a Hold-Cash, and my Indicators are continuing to break down. This has been a nice rally, but I would never participate or consider owning with the amount of Un-Favorable data and information in my notes.

My previously written articles on AAPL (just click) provide you the history of my forecasting, its accuracy and support for my performance. For over 50 years my management objective is to identify changing trends for my forecasting analytics. I simple want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this company and its industry peers.

My Performance (my 5-Year Table) for Apple, Inc. is available by clicking:

(AAPL). I treat Apple just like any other Company, and my performance is an excellent credential that I will not hesitate to move my Clients to Cash when my Forecast dictates.

Forecast w/ 5 Year Performance

Apple, Inc. and other Computer Hardware Companies are tracking the Utilities sector well. There is always an end to a rally and many Technology Companies are not producing the price accent ion that is expected. There are very valid reasons why!

My Current Forecast is not as bright as you may be lead to believe! (I will be more specific upon your email request).

If you own or are considering owning conventional electricity companies, the securities are becoming a mixed and rather negative bag. Apple, Inc. is currently relatively weak technically and I have reservations about my fundamental valuation; however, it is on my Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."

My Current Opinion is to Hold-Cash. Profits were taken in July and cash is my current safe haven. For me, cash is a balancing of my below three (weighted) pillars of research.

* Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ), my Valuations remains relatively strong but are "Flat" and un-impressive. That produces future declining valuation projections.

* Technically _ ( weighting - - 35% ), my Indicators are clearly breaking down. It is again in a current mini pull-back since December from about $558 to a current price of $525.

* Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of research is one that is always distorted to the positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being bearish. I am not! My articles on "Reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.

I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for APPL !

"Selectivity" is what I preach (along with discipline and patience) and is what separates the average investor and mutual funds from the profits that come with long-hours / hard work and "selectivity."
