AAPL has held up better than most tech/growth stocks, but it is very expensive now, by comparison.

It’s still priced above its 5yr average on a forward earnings basis, which seems crazy in this market.

Probably why it’s the most heavily shorted stock right now

Well, let’s add some context. That is true, but only in dollar terms. The $18.4 billion short interest figure in AAPL does eclipse the $17.4 billion short interest in TSLA (the previous “record holder”). But Apple’s market cap is approximately $2.3 trillion. TSLA’s is approximately $781 billion. And the short interest in AAPL represents only .7% or so of the float. Not even close to being “the most heavily shorted stock” in percentage terms. I mean, we’re not talking about a GameStop type of squeeze on the horizon.

What is interesting is that short interest in AAPL has increased by about 2.5% over the past month or so, as the stock has pulled back with the market… after holding up relatively well during the swoons this summer. Traders find these things interesting. Long term investors just go meh.

Uh yeah. So why not sell the June23 80 put? Grab about a $1.10 in premium and you’ll snag those shares for less than 79.

But hey, if Mad Vlad sets off a big firecracker, it could happen.

If that happens the world has bigger problems than Apple dropping to 80. The whole market tanks other than defense stocks and we probably going to War.

I feel like this report is pretty massive, considering Apple's closed ecosystem (app store/services) is one of their biggest money makers

Compound that with the almost certain "slower than expected" sales of the latest devices and ...

bad quarter incoming - I'd be surprised if it wasn't (and I do not mean juxtaposed to "expectations")

Right. Right. Like I told my friend’s wife when she kept asking me about the risks in T-notes, if the SHTF, our first world problems would disappear. But I’d let them come out to my place and hunt the glow-in-the-dark deer with my spare AK.
