Time to buy? Too much negative press. Buy in Fear- Updated 25/6

Apple has recently faced significant negative press, leading to fear and critical perceptions among investors. This situation highlights a common investment principle: buy in times of fear and sell in times of greed. As a result, I have taken a considerable long position on Apple, which I have since increased since my orginal post.

The flag pattern on the stock chart is nearly complete, indicating that a price movement is imminent. I have set my stop loss at $191, while I anticipate that a positive breakout could push the stock price above $223, representing potential gains of over 10%. There is also further upside potential for the price to exceed >$230. My target sell price for a full exit from Apple is now 275 USD, which would yield a return of 35%, although I do not expect this target to be reached until September or later. For shorter-term returns, I am targeting prices above $223.

I believe Apple is a strong long-term hold, regardless of current market fluctuations. The company has a mature and extensive ecosystem, making it a brand I would be reluctant to bet against. If you already own Apple products, you likely understand how unlikely it is that you would switch to another brand.

A close above $201.12 today would confirm a positive breakout.
