Aloha Investors!
I hope your week is doing better than the tech stocks have been doing these past couple of weeks! Haha…Nah tech stocks are perfect where they are. I do not even mind if they went lower, so that I can purchase my favorite stocks at a discount. I wish I had extra money to purchase more shares of Apple or even better Nvidia. Remember to always think the opposite of what the market performs, green is bad and red is good. The only time you would revert back is when you are close to retirement, but you should not be too invested in the stock market by then. If you are close to retirement, I would suggest a well-diversified Index Fund, ETF, CDs, or Bonds.
I am excited that next Monday is Apple’s event that will reveal the iPhone 16. I am looking forward to what the new model will have since Apple is integrating AI into their new products and updates. I am still debating if I will get the new phone or stick with my old phone. It will all depend on what new features come with the new phone. There is a lot of speculation that the stock will jump a lot when the new phone comes out on Monday, but I would take other people’s opinion with a grain of salt. I do believe the stock will find a new high once the phone is released, but the stock price always finds a breaking point. If you did not buy Apple today, then I would suggest you wait until the stock levels a bit after Monday. The tech stocks always go down at the end of the year and then pick up the following year.
This paycheck I was only able to buy two shares of Apple since my Roth IRA account did not have enough to buy my one share of VOO. I was about fifteen dollars short of buying one share of VOO. I am hoping VOO goes down a bit, so that I can buy two shares on the next paycheck.
Until next time…Have a wonderful weekend and remember it is never too late to start investing!
