$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple stock has had a rough patch lately, dropping nearly 13% this month alone, which is significant for the company. It's also down around 9% year-to-date. Analysts have been downgrading the stock, and there's a lot of negativity surrounding the company. My thoughts on whether Apple now represents a great buying opportunity for such a high-quality company, or if it’s still overvalued, and we should wait for a better price. That’s what I’m going to dive into in this article, and I hope you find it helpful. Global Declining iPhone One reason I think Apple has been struggling recently is due to the global decline in smartphone shipments, as seen in their latest report. While this may not be 100% official, it’s largely driven by worldwi

$J.P. MORGAN NASDAQ EQUITY PREMIUM INCOME ETF(JEPQ)$ $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ JEPQ VS SHCD Today, I’ll be comparing SCHD and JepQ in terms of long-term growth potential, downside protection, and tax considerations. Let’s dive in! We'll start with a quick overview of what each fund is and how they are managed, just to set a baseline. In my opinion, these two funds shouldn’t really be compared to one another since they’re so different, but a lot of people do, so let’s break it down. The main similarity is that both funds are income-focused investments, and they both primarily invest in U.S. stocks. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. There are three main differences I’ll highligh

$Constellation Software, Inc.(CNSWF)$ Constellation Software is a very interesting company because there's really no other stock like it in the market. They are essentially a serial acquirer, buying numerous businesses. While many companies rely on growth through acquisition, Constellation Software stands out in a few ways. Fundamental Firstly, they typically acquire very small software businesses, resulting in ownership of hundreds of companies. Secondly, they adopt a Warren Buffett-like approach, allowing these software units to remain independent. They don't integrate these acquisitions into a larger software suite, which means they avoid the high merger charges that other companies often incur. For example, in 2014, their merger charges were

The market was trading with mixed activity but an afternoon buying spree helped the market to have a positive closing session. Blue-chip companies led the way, maintaining strength throughout the session, while mega-cap stocks initially weighed down the S&P 500 (+0.5%) and the Nasdaq rallied back from negative territory in the afternoon to close the session 0.2% higher. The afternoon rally propelled the S&P 500 to a new record high, driven by a turnaround in stocks such as $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , Amazon.com (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT). NVDA did not disappoint as it has a very good run during the afternoon rally.

$Apple(AAPL)$ has secured a new patent that hints at its ambitions to roll out more robust satellite communications for future iPhones.  The patent, granted on Wed, 15 Jan 2025, focuses on one of the challenges facing satellite communications - that is, a device like a smartphone can struggle to maintain a connection, given that orbiting satellites stay are in the sky briefly before falling out of view.  As Patently Apple reports, the company's patent proposes a “handover procedure,” ensuring that one communication beam from an orbiting satellite will smoothly transition to a second beam from a separate satellite. Thus, each satellite functions as a “transparent network relay node,” enabling groups of smartphones to remain connected, App

Crude oil prices are back in the spotlight, surging 10% this month alone. The recent spike is fueled by tighter supply constraints from OPEC+ production cuts and rising global demand, particularly from China. Analysts are debating whether crude oil can reclaim the $100 per barrel mark. Key Drivers of the Surge OPEC+ Cuts: Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their production cuts, reducing global output by 1.5 million barrels per day. China's Demand: China’s post-pandemic recovery has led to a sharp rise in energy imports. Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing tensions in the Middle East are keeping supply risks elevated. Market Insights WTI Crude: Currently trading at $94 per barrel, its highest level since November 2022. Brent Crude: Approaching $97, with analysts projecting a potential breakout above

$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ Warren Buffett's Advice for 2025 Part of the reason there will be plenty of opportunities this year is that some people are bound to make poor decisions. Stock market investors in 2025 face three significant challenges: reasonably high interest rates, overvalued stock prices, and the lingering effects of rampant speculation in the markets. These factors make investing particularly challenging at the moment. Fortunately, the world's most renowned investor, Warren Buffett, has shared extensive insights on these topics over the past couple of years. In this video, I’ll draw on his wisdom to explore how we should approach investing in 2025. The first m
