Stocks to Trade for 2017: Apple (AAPL)

There is no denying the value of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). This week’s price action solidified it as a gem that traders are eager to buy.

This current rally in AAPL stock makes it more difficult to retest the lows of May and June of this year, so I can be more confident placing bullish options spreads — especially if paired with bearish spreads into January.

The trade: Sell a Jan $100/$95 credit put spread for 72 cents per contract. This has an 85% theoretical chance of success and a 16% potential yield on risk. I can sell a Jan $130/$135 credit call spread, for 60 cents per contract, against this trade. This has an 80% theoretical chance of success and a 13% potential yield.

Taking both sets up an iron condor, for which I collect $1.32 per contract.

If AAPL stock stays between $100 and $130 per share through January, this trade would yield 30% on money risked. Breakeven points are $98.68 and $131.32 per share.

Apple Inc. Is About to Disappoint Everyone (AAPL)

The iPhone 7 is generating tons of optimistic headlines, but Apple stock holders need a reality check, and soon

By James Brumley

Apple will not be giving any first-weekend unit sales figures … for the first time in anyone’s memory. It’s also not offering any specifics on its pre-order sales.

The company explained that the data is “no longer a representative metric for our investors and customers.” What it didn’t explain was why things changed.

The suspicious decision underscores the results of a survey performed a little over a week ago suggesting demand for the iPhone 7 was even weaker than it was for the iPhone 6S, which came out around this time last year … and didn’t muster any growth relative to the iPhone 6 launch a year before that.

Said in more straightforward terms, it looks like the iPhone is now selling less impressively than the previous version of the iPhone.

Apple is wading deeper into the smart home.

The company is pressing ahead with developing an Amazon Echo-like smart-home device based on Siri, according to people familiar with the matter.

The project, which was started more than two years ago, has exited the R&D lab and is now in prototype testing, those people said.

If a product reaches the market, it would be Apple’s most significant piece of new hardware since it announced the Apple Watch in 2014.

Why I’m Getting Long Apple — the Most Underrated Name in Tech

By Jared Levy

After calls to more than 60 stores, I was unable to find one with the iPhone 7 in stock. Most stores had either sold out or were committed to filling pre-orders and told me I would have to wait weeks to months to get a phone.
