Apple stock, given its $2 trillion valuation, is the perfect stock to discuss also the market and the weekly crash. The market is irrational and 20% crashes in a week should not be excluded in the future because when valuations are high, return expectations are based on swing moves and not on fundamentals, sell-offs will come often but fear of missing out will also push stocks higher, as long as interest rates are low. As for Apple stock, it is incredible how the market changed its sentiment in just 4 years. In 2016 AAPL was a pure value investment while now it is a bet on what will happen with markets, interest rates or valuations. I try to explain what are the key risks when it comes to investing in today's market and what one should focus on when looking at investing opportunities. AAPL is the perfect example to do this so this video is a mix of a market and the stock analysis. Key factors that impact the market today are valuations, dividends, even more buybacks, stock splits etc. All discussed with interesting examples.
