5 Reasons To Buy Apple Stock (APPL) 2021

Last February and then throughout the year I told readers to watch Apple Stock (APPL) when it was $72 (stock split price)!.  In December we updated our article when APPL was breaking out to $120s and we saw it going to $130s.  Many readers closed out their trades making over 50%!  I am updating this article for 2021 for those that didn’t close their trade or considering buying Apple stock.

APPL stock is now bouncing around $130 after jumping up to $137.  I believe it will bounce between these two points for a while until there is positive news which will cause it to touch the new R1 of $140.

The funny thing is I don’t use Apple products but appreciate the cult following. Maybe it is a generation thing, but spending almost a month’s worth of rent on buying a new phone sounds crazy.  However, it is the crazy brand loyalty the keeps me buying the stock.

After the death of Steve Jobs, I honestly wondered if Apple would continue to keep its following, but it has. My in-laws are in their late seventies and use their iPhones for many more things than I do. In fact, it would probably be easier to get taking a salmon from a bear than changing phones with them.

Also the Covid-19 pandemic has only increased the use of laptops and cell phones. Facetime and Zoom are now the norms, even for older generations.

As a result, the technology sector has performed very well. A few weeks ago we saw Apple stock take a hit and recommended to our readers to take a look at it.  For the record, I am not a personal fan of Apple and don’t use an iPhone or Mac. That is why we are telling readers to consider buying Apple Stock (APPL).

Here are 5 reasons to look at buying Apple Stock (APPL):

  1. It is one of the largest tech sector stocks.
  2. It is currently set to break R1 at $140.
  3. It has released new products before the holidays to increase sales.
  4. It is a cult product and likely to see sales increase as Covid.
  5. Chart technicals are signally a “BUY” (all signals posted below)
