I don’t invest much so certainly have little to no knowledge about what to buy, when to buy, etc etc. But given the recent lawsuit against Apple and Google not having particularly the best time, is this the right time to invest in them? Especially since Apple maybe potentially using Gemini AI in their products? #stocks #investments #apple #google
Wait for the real dip!
You mean an all round economic downturn?
I would avoid Google in long run
The Apple lawsuit in America is insane. Have you looked at the details? It tries to claim that Apple CarPlay is a monopoly. I mean….lmao wtf? I’d buy more, but I already am pretty exposed to Apple as it stands, so I’ll be sitting on the sidelines for now.
I agree with the lawsuit. Apple by its closed ecosystem inherently blocks out other service providers from providing their products in apple devices. Apples own apps is always more capable due to native integration and less api support for competing apps to achieve parity. This becomes especially true in cars and carplay, where essentially apple is taking over the manufacturer's ability to give embedded services in carplay. Its the very definition of a monopoly. A company that is very big, locked in a major % of customerbase in its ecosystem and locking out anyone else from providing services in their products
Nah man, it’s dumb as hell and you can’t justify it. Wanna know how they aren’t a monopoly? Car makers just don’t have to use it. They all make their own UI anyway. And there’s still Android Auto if they really want a third party system. You can’t call Apple CarPlay a monopoly just because they do it better than the others.
For long term investment, you will probably be better off investing in VTI. For short term, invest when things are going down not up.
Say what you will about whether this case results in anything. The big short term issue with Apple is how much these cases will serve as massive organizational distractions for the company for years. We’ve seen this dynamic play itself out a few times.
Neither. 2024 is the year of the semis. Wait until 2025 for rest of tech
Does that mean this is the right time to join tech companies now? Bc stocks are down so you will get more stocks as part of your tc? So by the time they vest, you’ll see more returns?
What are you comparing those choices against? And what are Your goals?
Imo Apple can still drop further
Why?
