Here’s my review of Apple Inc. (AAPL) from the November 20, 2018 Forbes article Should You Catch a Falling Apple? These Five Value Experts Think So: I’m bringing Apple back into the fold, adding the stock to my “Buy Low Opportunities” model portfolio. This is the kind of stock that I would personally add to during market corrections, or simply when negative market sentiment pushes the share price down. And guess what? Both of those situations are occurring right now. Ding! Ding! Ding! It’s time to buy. Apple’s recent...
read moreWelcome to October! The stock market’s having a correction – again! – and investors are wondering whether to buy, sell or run and hide. I’ve been investing in stocks for 30 years, and I’m not worried at all, so I’d like to encourage you to relax. Besides, market corrections – even the biggest ones – don’t usually last for more than a few months. And the most popular large-cap stocks are likely to survive the temporary storm. More on those in a minute. Maybe this will help: despite our second stock market correction of 2018, the S&P 500 is...

read moreby Crista Huff Negative people really irk me. As soon as Apple announced a new $100 billion share repurchase authorization last week, a vocal contingent of citizens opined at Apple’s selfishness, twisting the good news into an attack on free-market capitalism. You probably meet these people occasionally, so I’m going to give you a little bit of ammunition in order to help them reason things through. The new federal income tax legislation provided a way for U.S. companies to bring overseas cash back to the U.S., by allowing them to pay...
