Apple Signals Buy Opportunity

December 28th, 2023 Apple Signals Buy Opportunity Dear Reader, Yesterday, we looked at a Daily Price Chart of [CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc.](, noting that CSTR’s 24/52 Day MACD is trading above the 18-Day EMA signaling a ‘Buy’. For today’s Trade of the Day e-letter we will be looking at a monthly chart for Apple, Inc. stock symbol: AAPL. Before breaking down AAPL’s monthly chart let’s first review what products and services the company offers. Apple Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide. The company offers iPhone, a line of smartphones; Mac, a line of personal computers; iPad, a line of multi-purpose tablets; and wearables, home, and accessories comprising AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, and HomePod. Now, let’s begin to break down the monthly chart for AAPL stock. Below is a 10-Month Simple Moving Average chart for Apple, Inc. Buy AAPL Stock As the chart shows, in November, the AAPL 1-Month Price, crossed above the 10-Month simple moving average (SMA). This crossover indicated the buying pressure for AAPL stock exceeded the selling pressure. For this kind of crossover to occur, a stock has to be in a strong bullish uptrend. Now, as you can see, the 1-Month Price is still above the 10-Month SMA. That means the bullish trend is still in play! As long as the 1-Month price remains above the 10-Month SMA, the stock is more likely to keep trading at new highs and should be purchased. Our initial price target for AAPL is 200.00 per share. 129.7% Profit Potential for AAPL Option Now, since AAPL’s 1-Month Price is trading above the 10-Month SMA this means the stock’s bullish rally will likely continue. Let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a AAPL call option purchase. The Call Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat AAPL price to a 12.5% increase. The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following AAPL option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the AAPL option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don’t list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation. Trade with Higher Accuracy When you use the 1% Rule to select a AAPL in-the-money option strike price, AAPL stock only has to increase 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if AAPL stock is flat at 193.56 at option expiration, it will only result in a 5.4% loss for the AAPL option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option. Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money call options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for AAPL on 12/27/2023 before commissions. When you purchase a call option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the call if the underlying stock continues to move up in price. For this specific call option, the calculator analysis below reveals if AAPL stock increases 5.0% at option expiration to 203.24 (circled), the call option would make 62.2% before commission. If AAPL stock increases 10.0% at option expiration to 212.92 (circled), the call option would make 129.7% before commission and outperform the stock return by nearly 13 to 1*. The leverage provided by call options allows you to maximize potential returns on bullish stocks.
