Apple -- August 12, 2025

Locator: 48835AAPL.

My chart of the day:

Still a long way to get back to its old highs, but wow, look at that market cap. Wasn't the market cap only $3 trillion just a few weeks ago?

What bothers me most about APPL? Well three things, all related:

  • lousy dividend after all these years;
  • sitting on way too much cash;
  • doesn't appear to be wanting to put that cash to work.

Briefly:

  • I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken and I am often well out front of my headlights. I am often appropriately accused of hyperbole when it comes to the Bakken.
  • I am inappropriately exuberant about the US economy and the US market.
  • I am also inappropriately exuberant about all things Apple.
