Apple - AAPL - Share Chat

Only way currently is if she opens a account herself and you give her money to fund the account and she buy the shares. Or if shes to young buy it in your own account and sell when ready in future.

Yeah I thought that might be the case. I want to purchase today while it’s lower than usual though and her birthday isn’t till the 30th but it’s fine I’ll just buy it close to the time

What’s with the drop in Apple?

[Digital-Invester]

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.

No one knows the market bottom I’m afraid otherwise we would all be millionaires

[Cyclopops (Mark)]

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)

Microsoft Corporation - MSFT

It is not obvious. As a newbie, the main thing to be aware of is that share price movements usually have something to do with expectations. So if you expect the revenues to go up 5% and they go up 5% … the share probably doesn’t move. But also macroeconomic factors and sentiment will play a role in the movement. The more mature the share/company, the more “understanding” the market has of the companies fundamentals. So if, something in the numbers suggests that the share is “fully valued” then…

Thank you.

[Coolsmp (Investor R7)]

@NeilB reply was much better and welcoming than mine!.

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