$Microsoft(MSFT)$ MSFT is building a base around $495.40 and looks set for the next move after a clean Q4 beat across the board. Enterprise AI monetization is really scaling now — quarterly revenue crossed $90B, up 18% YoY, and Microsoft 365 Copilot hit over 30M paid users. With Azure guidance for the next quarter projected at a strong 45%, the bear case is getting harder to argue.
$Apple(AAPL)$ Return on assets and return on equity are way too high to keep AAPL down much longer. It feels like it's going to break free and reward those who have held long and kept the faith. I'm sticking with it.
$Apple(AAPL)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ Some analysts are making predictions for Apple as far out as 2028, and it honestly feels like they have no real clue what's coming. It's hard to take those kinds of long-range calls seriously.
$Apple(AAPL)$ This is a notorious AAPL hater, ask anyone who has held the stock. AAPL was moving up nicely, and then right on time this guy steps in to put the kaibash on it. I have seen the same pattern at least 15 times — AAPL up, and this entity steps in on behalf of someone and kills it. Not one of those "fire, fire" moments has ever stifled AAPL's long-term growth. None, zilch, zero. What a travesty.

$Microsoft(MSFT)$ It just pushed straight into the $505–$510 resistance zone after that vertical run from $350. If it clears and holds above $510, the path toward $550 ATHs looks open. A rejection would likely trigger a healthy pullback toward $475–$480, or even the $465 gap fill. After a move this steep, some digestion before the next leg higher would be completely normal.
$Apple(AAPL)$ Someone laid out the top 5 reasons consumers hate iPhones, or Apple stock. 5. The battery lasts just long enough to get your hopes up, then dies exactly when you need it most. 4. Charging is so slow you could cook a frozen pizza in the time it takes to go from 20% to 80%, and they still don't include a charger in the box. 3. Siri remains the most expensive way to hear "I didn't understand that" after every request. 2. The design has stayed so similar for years that last year's model and this year's model are basically identical twins who refuse to admit it. And the number one reason consumers hate iPhones or Apple stock: 1. They cost more than a used car, yet somehow make you feel like you're the one who got the better end of th
$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple's ex-dividend date wrapped up today. I was catching up on some news and noticed AAPL was among the three stocks that saw strong demand. After the dip, it has been drawing a lot of attention. Now it has the dividend, the buybacks, the attention, and a fair amount of tariff compensation factored in.
$Apple(AAPL)$ The dividend is on the way, and it looks like people are buying shares to capture it. The large buyback program is also having a noticeable effect. Meanwhile, shorts are still pressing their bets.
