Apple entered the record books Monday, becoming the most valuable stock to have ever traded.
With Monday’s gain, Apple eclipsed Microsoft’s peak market cap of $618.9 billion, a level that Microsoft hit over 12 1/2 years ago, on Dec. 30, 1999.
Little seems to be slowing down Apple’s stock these days. Shares have been on the rise over the past three months in high anticipation of new iPhone and iPad models that have been predicted to hit stores during the second half of this year.
Even a disappointing earnings report late last month did little to spook investors as they remained focused on the widely expected, but not yet formally announced, iPhone launch next month.
The pros often say stick with what’s working – or buy high and sell higher – is that the trade here?
According to top trader Stephanie Link – the short answer is no. “I don’t see any reason to chase it here.”
Although Link likes Apple she sees better places to put money to work. And she reveals the tech stocks she likes more at current levels in the video above.
