What’s with the drop in Apple?
It’s a lot of the US tech stocks dropping in price. It is probably due to the high inflation at the moment companies are worried people will be spending less in the next couple of years. Also there are global chip shortages from the pandemic pushing up cost of components etc. Energy and materials price increases. So in general you can put most of it down to the global pandemic and recovery. Think of it as a domino effect.

You could maybe get her deposit reference if she sets up a Freetrade account and then bank transfer in some funds to buy shares.
I have some apple shares and obviously down at the moment, is there a prediction how much lower it will likely go?
Thanks.

Fair point, thanks for the reply.
I am very new to all this (few weeks) so have newbie type questions.

Hi @Cyclopops welcome welcome welcome 
The world has just come off of a very fast rising market, fuelled in part by governments around the world printing money and over inflating the value of many things.
@bitflip wrote a brilliant reply to a different t question with similar roots which might help explain some of the movements with apple at the moment (especially around earnings calls)

Hello Freetrade team, I’m yet to get my dividend payment for Apple shares which has pay date on 10th feb, any issues ?
It usually takes a few days. I’ve not got mine either.

Let’s put our dividends together. We will have £3.18 between us. It can buy us a decent meal deal (to share)

Having used to work for Apple, I used to get shares as part of my role (purchased and given) at a set time out of my control, but now I’m needing to look at the best time to buy some as I work elsewhere. What’s the general consensus around event announcements and product releases? From my limited research, the price tends to go down the day after the announcements (unless the products are “revolutionary” or “exciting”) before ramping up over the next 60 days. It can also go down prior to the announcement based on what the rumours are. What do you all think? Am I wrong? Good to get your thoughts. Thanks.
I have had the email yesterday saying I have had my apple dividend but the single digit pence amount doesn’t appear to be in my gia yet.
