I bought apple as a 'hold until i retire' stock just before the split. Hamster is right that the market is skewed right now with Robinhood gamblers, so it is not reflective of traditional fundamentals used in the past.
Too many stock investors are just greedy because of the human sense of hope over realistic expectation and experience. They fully hope their 1 dollar stock will soar to 100 or their 100 dollar stock will be the next Amazon or Shopify in 6 months and then are miserable, whine and complain when it doesn't move for months or goes down. I'm happy with 5% or 10% gains in a year on a stock pick, which is a little more realistic. If I get more...great. But that's just me.
In the long run I don't think you won't lose money on Apple, as long as your expectations are realistic.
