Aloha Investors!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
It has been a rough couple of weeks with the stock market, but I hope everyone got to purchase more shares while they were low. I was only able to grab three more shares of Apple since the rest of my accounts did not have enough. I know one of the top stories was Warren Buffett selling 510 million Apple shares. I do not believe that he is going to get rid of all his shares of Apple, but I do believe that he is selling his shares to pay for either taxes or to diversify more of his portfolio. Everyone needs to keep in mind that he started buying shares in 2016. He caught a 4-for-1 split in 2020 and just recently the stock has been doing good since the announcement of AI. He still has a lot of shares of Apple which I do believe he will hold on to until the next split which may come in a few years.
I am getting excited because I am getting closer to my Apple goal. It really does not help when the stock is hardly down when I buy on payday. My only rule when buying my favorite stock is I will never time the market. I will always buy no matter what the price is on the stock if I know it is a good stock.
Until next time…Have a wonderful week and remember it is never too late to start investing!
