Apple Inc (AAPL)

[vicorka]

Good thing does not last forever. Will apple be able to make another 1,000% over the next 5-8 years. Comparing to rising starts like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) the AAPL stock does not looks like a growing company. The same as nine years ago the Apple company is mainly cell-phone producer. If at the beginning it was the only company, now it is just another company. When everybody around buying another companies and expending their business, the Apple company remains just another cell phone company which sit on a pile of cash and does nothing. Will be able Apple company make another great up-move without expanding in the era of Globalization?

The Apple company has spend a lot of cash to buy back its own stocks. It encouraged investors, it kept the stock from falling. However, it reduced the number of the outstanding shares. Because of that, Russell 1000 already downgraded AAPL weighting in June of 2016.

Average APPL daily volume dropped to the level last seen in 1993. Can Apple buy back any more stocks without affecting its weighting in other indexes? And if it can will it be as effective as before?

There are many other points rising question mark when it comes to "to Buy or not to Buy" the Apple stock. For many investors now this question should be rephrased as "to keep or not keep" the APPL stock. Will Apple continue being "the icon" for consumers and investors or it will turn in a "legend" from the past?
