Hoping corp tax reform happens. They have $100B in foreign cash that could be repatriated.

They could use that money for an acquisition here in the US. Without tax reform, they bring in 65 cents on the dollar. With, it's closer to 90. That is a massive amount of cash they can spend.

If the anticipated tax bill offers a way for companies to repatriate the trillions they're holding overseas, Apple stakeholders will get a big payday.

"The Trump administration has promised to lower the corporate tax rate significantly. Economists and politicians on both sides of the aisle have said a lower corporate tax rate or a tax holiday that repatriates money from overseas will unleash hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in dividends and business investments in the United States."

They could also pay out a one time $20 per share dividend.

Edit: could be more like $50/share if they choose. $250B/5B shares outstanding.

We're just spitballing with the C-tax rate/foreign repatriation. It's been talked about for decades, still hasn't happened.

Would you keep 50K in RDS.A (Shell) with stagnant growth but a 7% dividend or plow into AAPL at the current price?
on a drip the shell is not stagnant....

I bought at 102 but don't follow it. Good news. I'm still holding.

Biggest mistake I've made was selling 20% of my holdings at $116. I am of the opinion the stock is a must-have holding...until something fundamentally changes. All that said, I've owned AAPL for ten years, so my cost basis allows me the flexibility of holding when others are selling to capture profits.

It has to be more likely than ever to occur now with this administration. Our corporate tax rate is so noncompetitive in a global economy the government is basically forcing global public companies to strand cash overseas. It would be financially irresponsible not to.

That may be true we'll have to see. Even under Reagan the effective C tax didn't move much. Actually went up a little.

Global economy is miles ahead after 30 years so I'm hanging my hat on that, but I'm guessing like everyone else.

Sell.

Stock market is at/near a peak and is way over-inflated by many measures.

Trump's repatriation of foreign profits isn't all it's cracked up to be. Many multinational companies already find a way to access the cash from foreign operations without booking the earnings in the US.

No one ever went broke by taking a profit.

50%+ gain...sell half and you have your original investment back, and the remaining shares are house money. If it continues up, you still have skin in the game, if it goes down, you have dry powder to take advantage.

Wouldn't call ~5% a crazy run but I'll take it. Been pretty big into it for the last 5+ years.

Bought in 2008, don't remember my cost basis. I sell 1/3 of my shares when it gets to 5% of my net worth. I've done that a couple times now.

I sold some at 120 and more at 130. I'm holding onto the rest.

Up to $147 and change today. Considering selling, taking profits and buying back in later if there's another drop. Every time I think the run is over it just keeps going up. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I first bought AAPL in 2005 some time before the iPhone came out, Always maintained a large position in AAPL until 2013 when I sold and got out for good.
Steve Jobs is gone and the company is just kicking the can based on idea from his time. The innovation that existed isn't there anymore.

I would sell and move into AMZN or other companies.

What you say may be true, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock hit 500 before it collapses.

so depending on sale date in 2013, you've missed out on something like 100% growth over the 4 years since you sold? that's impressive can-kicking

when every 4 year stops having the latest iphone you will know when it is time to sell apple.
