Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any of you is going to get some stocks from Apple now that the event they did turned to be a bit of a “dissapointment”? Just curious to see opinions. Also if you find it to be a cool event.

No money left to invest in Apple after buying their new smartwatch with fancy band, which is 6x more expensive than my Android phone.

This event is already priced in.
What do you expect after buying the dip ?
A sweet recovery no other analysts have anticipated?

I have more than enough AAPL in my VTI.

I didn’t watch the event. Why was it bad? I thought they normally hyped everything up and get people excited?
They presented the same small, incremental updates to iPhone and Watch as they do every year. And everything they announced was known beforehand through the rumor sites anyway.
I heard the Wikipedia page for “priced in” is just a list of videos of Apple keynotes.

Unless it drops by a huge amount, a short term gain of a few % is basically meaningless over your investment horizon.
Unless you lever up, short-term trading like that is not even a drop in the bucket.
Buy and hold that shares over 20 years, make 100s of %, what is a mere couple % at the start for a difference in the end?
Or you drop 100K hope for 5% upside and then exit position again or something like that.
I don‘t recommend any of that btw. But unless you do that I see no meaningful benefit to that.

I found the AirPods update interesting: looks like one will be able to use them as hearing aids.
Apple is like a SaaS provider for phones: charge regularly for continuous small improvements. There is no reason (or competitor) that this will end anytime soon.
I agree, I used to be excited about buying dips, then put the numbers down on an excel and saw that the incremental potential gain is so small in the long run that it makes zero sense unless one gets in in a 20% or higher discount, leverages, or has a truly large sum of money to spend (upwards of 500k). 100k is large (for me!), but 5% of 100k is not.

Sure, but I don’t think this is something that moves the stock price significantly.
I’m thinking to purchase like 1’000 USD of shares but only to use it to buy a new iPhone in 3-4 years (already have the iPhone 15 Pro Max from last Christmas after my 6 years old iPhone 8 died… Rest in peace buddy). It would be interesting to see if the shares grow enough to purchase a new iPhone “free” of loss (by selling mine too).

Nice idea, just bought 10 shares (using the 15 Pro Max)
That‘s actually a really cool idea.
Hope not everyone does that 
Because someone need to still buy the phone for shares to go up ….
