Apple (AAPL) is taking some heat again, and I get it — the Mag 7 is red, and Apple’s dragging a bit harder than the rest.
We’ve seen this before but every time this happens, I look at what usually follows…
The S&P 500 (SPY) holds up, the follow-through comes back, and we get that rotation right back into Apple and the other leaders. I’ve seen this play out over and over — and I’m betting we see it again.
It’s Been Tricky Since December
Look, I’m not saying Apple’s been easy. Since December, it’s probably been the most challenging stock in the group. We’ve seen deeper corrections than you’d expect from a name like this — largely because of all the sensitivity around China and tariffs.
But here’s the thing: I’m still stacking shares. I’m not trying to be cute with timing. I know what I own.
Apple’s long-term track record speaks for itself. I still believe it’s arguably the most reliable stock out there. That doesn’t mean it won’t be volatile. That doesn’t mean it won’t give you some headaches.
But over the long haul, it’s one of the best names you can own — and I’m not just holding, I’m adding when it dips.
Rotation Favors the Bold
Here’s the setup I’m watching. If the Mag 7 stays negative half a percent or so, but SPY holds steady, we could get that classic rotation. We’ve seen this script before — the market finishes green, and money flows right back into the Apples and the Metas of the world.
I know it can be frustrating. Meta (META) gave us a scare last week, and Apple’s down again today. But this is exactly why I stay in the game with these names.
It’s not about calling every twist and turn. It’s about knowing the quality you’re holding and letting time — and the money — work in your favor.
I’m not trading Apple. I’m owning it.
