Is Apple Cool Again?

Apple Has Some Big Plans for the Future

It’s been a while since Apple last released a ground-breaking product like the iPhone or iPad. This has led to speculation that, perhaps, the Apple’s star was about to fade and that the tech giant might be out of fresh ideas.

Yet a quick glimpse into Apple’s pipeline with its intent to advance into new territories of “apparel” (iWatch), streaming music and a grand, brand new phone, it’s clear that Apple is on track to be cool again and that investors should expect a hot winter for Apple.

What’s in the Pipeline?

Apple’s pipeline keeps getting better and better, it seems. Ahead, consumers have a number of gadgets and services to look forward to, with the potential to open up previously unexploited markets. Of course, we’re talking about Apple’s latest inventions, improvements and innovations including the iWatch, iPhone 6, Apple TV and a new and improved iTunes streaming service thanks to the recent acquisition of Beats.

But it’s not just the cool pipeline of products that is exciting investors, it’s the possibilities of new frontiers for the company. The iWatch is expected to provide data such as a user’s pulse rate and blood pressure which will allow Apple to tap into the lucrative medical instruments and data market. The Apple TV will provide Apple with a platform in the mighty TV market and allow them to compete head-to-head with giants such as Netflix and Samsung TV.

And the purchase of Beats?

While the Beats Hi-Fi headphones business is lucrative, Beats also has a streaming music business that will allow Apple to compete directly with Spotify, and other streaming services such as Rdio, Soundcloud, and Pandora. These are areas that Apple hasn’t explored before, and given the loyalty of the brand’s consumers it is more than likely to succeed.

A Stock with Fans

So we have put together all the hottest news with all the amazing products that are in the pipeline for Apple. But as a stock investor you know that “buzz” is not enough to make prices rise. For example, what happens if the iPhone 6 doesn’t live up to expectations or if the iWatch proves to be a mere gimmick?

Here is exactly where the wonders of social trading come in to play. Since social trading enables you to follow those “fans” of Apple, rather than do the research yourself, follow those Apple fans who know well when a company is embarking on a sweet ride but who are also quick to recognize when the cream is about to sour.

Apple Fans who Did Well

So, how well did some of the “fans” who invested in Apple on our social investment network do? We have selected three from a very long list who all seem to have a very good sense of the company stock and who have picked just the right moment to buy into it.

They are Robin Carpenter with 16.7% earnings on the stock, Ahmed Romey with 12.3% and Julia Siyushova with 9.7%.

If you have no time to research a stock or don’t feel confident enough in your analysis, then following one or more investors that have a good track record with Apple stock might be an option worth checking.

Remember, there’s no such thing as “guaranteed returns”, but not doing your homework before you invest is a recipe for guaranteed failure. Of course, past results cannot predict a future outcome, however following or copying the top earning Apple investors may be an effective way of leveraging social trading into stock returns.
